You should not need a pullup/down resistor

However if you are not getting a signal your board may need one.

Have you tried a simple arduino sketch that flashes an led when it senses a pulse ?

No but will try, any ideas what blink test I should try ?

Sorry noon here

connect the output to a digital pin - this code should flash an led

/*

* Note: on most Arduinos there is already an LED on the board
attached to pin 13.

// constants won't change. They're used here to
// set pin numbers:
const int buttonPin = 2; // the number of the pushbutton pin
const int ledPin = 13; // the number of the LED pin
// Pin 13: Arduino has an LED connected on pin 13
// Pin 11: Teensy 2.0 has the LED on pin 11
// Pin 6: Teensy++ 2.0 has the LED on pin 6
// Pin 13: Teensy 3.0 has the LED on pin 13

// variables will change:
int buttonState = 0; // variable for reading the pushbutton status

void setup() {
// initialize the LED pin as an output:
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
// initialize the pushbutton pin as an input:
pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
}

void loop(){
// read the state of the pushbutton value:
buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);

// check if the pushbutton is pressed.
// if it is, the buttonState is HIGH:
if (buttonState == HIGH) {
// turn LED on:
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
}
else {
// turn LED off:
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
}
}

Thanks again I'll try this out tomorrow if resistors don't work out do you know if the resistors are directional or can I install then anyway I'm gonna install as diagram

Can I install then anyway.

Sorry can I install the resistors in circuit anyway round,

Resistor has no polarity or sense.
Follow the "Wiring schematic" image of the post above without worrying about the direction of the resistor.

Ok I have the encoder working now all I needed to do was add resistor and 5v to And B not Z, so as I disconnected the 5v and the resistor for Z it worked so far so good at the min thanks for your help so far

Me so far

Hello Fernando,

I trying to build your code, but I getting the following error.
BRWheel-master\arduino-1.0.5-r2/brWheel.ino:189: undefined reference to `Joystick_::send_16_10_10_10(int, unsigned int, unsigned int, unsigned int, unsigned int)'

Line in error
SendInputReport((s16)turn, (u16)accel, (u16)brake, (u16)clutch, buttons);


Using arduino-1.0.5-r2 with the "hardware" and "libraries" folders you provided.
Same error using "hardware" and "libraries" folders from ESP_WHEEL_0.3.

Could you give some advice?


Best Regards,

Maybe I changed something and forgot to update it in git. I checked and the function was declared and was not defined in the "HID.cpp" file.
Take the "alphatest" branch, it is more uptdated.

You can send a private msg if you want, I'll help you.
This week I plan to sync git with the current version.

Hello guys! Wheel is working fine as of now for regular track use but when i use it for drifting it gets realy stiff (hard to turn) if i want good self-centering. If i lower it the resistance goes down but it doesnt want to self center... (im nowhere near clipping) I understand that there is supposed to be some resistance when drifting. Any ideas what could be wrong or to what forum i should turn to for the solution? I tried playing with setting is Ai-wave but i havent found a solution to it.

What type of wheel do you have ? What sort of motor ?

What game are you playing ? Is the car fwd 4wd or rwd?

Can we see a video ?

Belt drive 1:5 ratio, 200w 24v motor with 24v 350w PSU. Arduino leonardo board, IBT-2 motor controller.
Game is Assetto Corsa and i drift with RWD cars, i also use LUT generator to fix deadzone. Gain on Ai-wave is 50% most of the effects turned down except sine and constant.

What is the LUT generator?

Another member recommended it to me in this thread it was Fernando Igor i think, basicly it takes the result from Iracing step log test(linear force test) and creates an opposite curve so it "eliminates" the deadzone. It linearizes the output.
Here's the link if you are interested: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/lut-generator-for-ac.9740/

Anybody else had an issue with the force feedback not working correctly, min seems to have some feedback but only when the motor is turned to the left like a magnetic notch and that only seems to work only slightly, if at all, the force is strong but don't feel correct by a long shot.

What type of motor are you using

Does it have regular or offset coils ?

I suggest you move the index position and see if the problem moves to a different place
