[HELP] Arduino code for simple simulator

Hi! I'm using Simtools and developing my own simulator and got confused with the 2DOF arduino code of @RacingMat. My simulator is only 1 DOF (pitch) and uses 1 motor.

I am confused with some conditions in the code like the condition of direction. Also the function NormalizedData().

Please help. Thanks!

i think you can use 'pitch' for motor movement
the function convert numeric characters in hexadecimal value; es. the two characters 2F (2= 0x32 or 50 dec and F= 0x46 or 70 dec) are converted in hex value 2f (47 in dec)

This part is where I'm confused with.

Code:

int NormalizeData(byte x[3])
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
{
  int result;

  if ((x[2]==13) || (x[2]=='R') || (x[2]=='L'))  //only a LSB and Carrier Return or 'L' or 'R' in case of value below 16 (ie one CHAR and not 2)
  {
    x[2]=x[1];  //move MSB to LSB
    x[1]='0';     //clear MSB
  }
  for (int i=1; i<3; i++)
  {
    if (x[i]>47 && x[i]<58 ){//for xA to xF
      x[i]=x[i]-48;
    }                      
    if (  x[i]>64 && x[i]<71 ){//for x0 to x9
      x[i]=x[i]-55;              
    }
  }
  // map the range from Xsim (0 <-> 255) to the mechanically authorized range (potMini <-> potMaxi)
  result=map((x[1]*16+x[2]),0,255,potMini,potMaxi);
  return result;
}

hello!

Like @soraz explained,
- you will only use 1 motor
- in Simtools, it will be linked to Pitch effect (go to FAQ to see the pitch roll and other definitions)
- with the motomonster, you will only use 1 output
- with Arduino, no need to modify the code!
- yes, it is used to convert hex from Simtools into decimal for arduino.

After reading and re-reading the manuals and quick step by step guide, you'll master this building!

Oh! I thought I will have to modify the arduino code. I will not modify the code. I will just upload it to the
arduino and that's it.

Later on, I will also do my 2DOF simulator. But for now, my developed game supports pitch only.


Thanks my friend!

what game are you willing to use with that bike sim?

best regards

Hi @ferslash. I'm developing my own game for my project in school and it is a bicycle ride game.
I just explore new things

woooooooooooooow, man, i really would like to see your game... even do, please consider sharing it

there is a game called torx, it is a race game, but... they have some track editors, and with them you can select some goole maps roads, as far as i understood in a cople of clicks you could create the virtual tour of france to use it in a game... maybe like yours

(what are you studing? which technology are you using for your game?)

@ferslash Dude, I'm using Unity game engine. After I'm done with the game and also with the simulator I will share it
. This game is just a virtual tour of my country that provides a 3d model of some tourist spots of my country.

nice!

how long did it took you to learn unity?

where are you from ?

your mexican friend

I started to study Unity since April this year. I'm just a newbie in game development and my game is not that advanced and nice unlike the other game that you will see nowadays. I'm from Philippines and I'm just a college student.

just use the original code and connect on motor.. dou you have the plugin for your game?
