the big motor is necessary and only with the encoder. I can make one without the need for a large motor and only with the arduino leonardo excellent video👍👍👍

[@techathome]

You can also use smaller motor. But gear/pulleys should be selected considering the required RPM at the end. Even if you don't connect motor, steering works fine. But there will be no force/feedback.

Hey, thanks this is the best tutorial ever! Can you tell what power supply you're using please? Can we use something recyclable ?

[@techathome]

Thank you!! My motor is 24v, 13A. But as of now using 12v, 5A power supply. If you are buying supply, better go with variable option(At least between 12 and 24V switching option). In some games if feedback is too strong, it is difficult to move the wheel when motor is powerful. In these scenarios you can reduce the supply.

Hey man,can we also use a potentiometer instead of the encoder with some gears and use it to mesure rotation and use the same software for the calibration?Do you have any recommendations or solutions for that? Anyway your guide is very useful and amazing.Good luck❤

[@akkudakkupl]

You could do that by modding the wheel firmware, but just get an old inkjet printer from Brother and take the encoder wheel and sensor out of that. With potentiometer you will have a very low resolution.

[@JeffRenko]

Bro just buy a cheap encoder and use it it works and later you can upgrade

[@israeljmtd1667]

what do you mean when you say if we want to turn the Arduino to normal, wait if I bought a new arduino do I have to upload " return to stock" hex file before I upload the emc hex file in order it to work?

[@techathome]

No , not after buying the Arduino. After uploading EMC firmware, if you want your Arduino to have default firmware, then use that return to stock hex file.

[@user-gc1xx7jv9l]

This is amazing, thank you, I just have one request, can you please share the connections if I use arduino pro micro instead of leonardo

[@techathome]

As per the EMC development forum this firmware supports only for Leonardo and STM32, Since pro micro also uses same chip as Leonardo, you can consider same pin numbers which are available.(I have not tried since i don't have board) . Let me know if it works.

[@senda2627]

It doesn't work cause only Arduino leo board has the USB interface as i know.(BTY i dunno exactly,its just my thought)

I have built the wheel and for some reason I always get a problem where it works perfect if you only load emc and have no game, I can leave it open and move the wheel for hours and it stays perfectly centered. But as soon as I open a game and play it works fine for a second and after a few minutes it starts losing center and stops working entirely but if I reload everything then it works again but does the same thing. This issue is very confusing pls help. I have also tried replacing vga port to hdmi to improve connection and no difference.

Great video, thanks a lot! I only have one question. Is it possible to use one arduino and driver to operate 3 axes with force feedback (3 motors)? Reason bring that I wish to create an aircraft control yoke with force feedback. Thanks a lot!

[@techathome]

Not possible. With this there will be only one steering axis with feedback, other 4 just analog axis for pedals.

[@neils12]

@@techathome thanks for your prompt reply! So to have 3 more axis with force feedback, you would need 3 more Arduinos as well? Thanks!

[@techathome]

I am not sure if you can run 3 same devices together, game should also detect properly. But why you need feedback for aircraft.

[@neils12]

@techathome will do some tests using different arduino outputs whilst all 3 axes are connected at the same time. I need it as aircraft controls do move because of the wind, so there is feedback in the yoke/stick of an aircraft.

Hi, are there any advantages or disadvantages to attaching the rotary encoder directly to the shaft? Is it going to affect performance and feel of the wheel in any way?

[@techathome]

There is no difference in both cases functionality aspect. In my case, since I have used same pulleys for encoder and shaft, the ratio is 1:1. Which is again same as mounting directly to shaft. Just it improves your design. But you can connect directly to shaft and reduce some cost of the build.

[@ramirocicero9309]

Could it be the fact that I didn't put on the resistors?

[@swarajitnath7818]

Bro Amazing work... but I'm getting proper reading from the encoder without the resistors... are the resistors redundant? what do you think?

[@techathome]

You might get the values, but depends on the logic in that EMC software for wheel to function. They have used active Low state. So pull up resistors are needed to make default state as High. This is what I thought. Can you check if wheel works in EMC without resistors?

[@swarajitnath7818]

I'll go through some trial and error then...but again amazing work 😁

Hii bro, Can I use UNO in place of Leonardo because the clock speed is same (16Mhz), the digital and analog pin number is also enough as required ?

[@techathome]

No, It doesn't work with Uno. Arduino Leonardo uses Atmega32u4 chip which itself has built in usb communication. So when you connect this , computer treat it as HID similar mouse, keyboard etc. But Arduino Uno use Atmega328P and one more additional chip just to handle serial communication.

[@marcelmikulec2500]

Hello, I had a problem with my rotary encoder that is, when I rotate it to the right, it register the value in negativ, and positive on the left side. Can you please tell what should I do PLEASE REPLY

Interchange the A and B phase wires connected to pin 0 and 1.

You need to check voltage specifications of your motor.

is there a way to use a potentiometer for the steering?, if you can how would you wire it.

Not possible with this software, You can try this basic wheel from potentiometer and Arduino Uno, kzbin.info/aero/PL4B0LEKY-jrT4qVf352Es444lZY48uSvu kzbin.info/aero/PL4B0LEKY-jrTZEiCamC6Un8yo_Ea-i2FF

If motorr is alternative 100w gears will be 0.333 gear ratio 60 and 20 teeths?

[@techathome]

I think that motor is 2500 RPM, then Using this gear ratio, output RPM : 833 Output torque: 1.68 Nm I used these online calculators : Ratio RPM calculator: www.omnicalculator.com/physics/gear-ratio-rpm Gear Torque calculator: calculator.academy/gear-torque-calculator/ These are values from my build: Before pulleys- Motor Rated Torque : 0.87 Nm Motor RPM: 2650 Input pulley teeths(at motor): 15 Output pulley teeths(at steering shaft): 60 Ratio(Output / Input)- 4:1 After pulleys - Output RPM: 662 Output torque: 3.48 NM

Bro will this wheel work in any game that supports a steering wheel ? i saw a video in which someone was using a thing called gimx to make his wheel work in forza horizon 5

[@techathome]

My Laptop is very basic, so couldn't try most of the games. Planning to upgrade in some time. GIMX will have standard firmware which most of the games can detect. So this acts as a link between game and DIY game controllers. Internally data mapping will happen continuously(Game GIMX DIY controller)

[@dhairyaagrawal6863]

will you try making a gimx adapter when you get your new pc ? btw im watching your videos form past days and each video delivers very valuable knowledge thanks

Thank you so much ❤️ Even I saw Diy wheels are not detected in all the games. So definitely we will explore that.

do you face any lag in the output of steering wheel in euro truck simulator

I don't feel any lag. But it's difficult to compare for me, since I have not used any other wheels before.

Woah Its really awesome. But I need help. My emc is inverted when i turn the wheel to right values goes negetive, when i go left values goes positive and i see no invert option. Other than it it working

Can i remove the ffb motor and the circuit board from the ffb . I just want the wheel, abc paddle, and paddle shifter . Help me out 5:34 .

[@techathome]

Yes you can use without FFB motor and motor driver board. But issue is, Even if you set the wheel degree to some value(example 300 deg), since motor is not there, degree won't lock. You can still move beyond and wheel centre keep on changing.

In the circuit I have shown the connections for motor supply. Use B+ and B- pins. For the FAN, you can use the same supply if its operating voltage is same as FFB motor.

I have not explored real wheels, So I don't have idea on ideal RPM. 600 RPM would be fine. Don't reduce below that. Anyway this e bike motor has good torque.
