    i did not got your question :( ... i was playing with unojoy, but it only turns the arduino into a joystick... how are you planning to get the force-feedback?

    best regards

    Short answer us you cant... if you search in the forum there is a group of topics about periferics... there are one or two diy ffb sterring whells... but ad far as i can tell. Making a ffb wheel is as expensive and hard as making a sim... i think in terms of money the best bet is buying a used ffb wheel... i did so.

    If you make it you wilk need a wheel, a mitor, a motor controler, a power source, an arduino and some , way of force transmition... with that you can make a nice seat mover instead

    Best regards

    man, your english is better than mine :D!!!

    take my answer as a starting point... if you want to do it try it :D maybe you can surprice us all :D

    here is a link of what they have made:

    http://www.xsimulator.net/community...el-direct-drive-by-racingmat.6309/#post-70295

    they say 800 euros is the budget.... but i am shure you can work arround it.... but... as i said... maybe you can get a nice used ffb for less... i got a used old sidewinder (ultra old) ffb wheel for less 30 usdlls, and it works as a sharm.

    fer
    (but i insist... if you want to do it... try, you can get somewhere)

    that picture is the basic schem of "getting data from sim tools, and send it to a motor...

    (note that almost always the potentiometer and the motor are physicly "connected")

    that schem works for one degree of freedom in a sim or for your motor :D

    the thinkg is that when you pull data out of simtools, you need to pull the tire data so you get force feedback to your wheel)

    have you seen the link i post???
