One idea is, instead of using an Arduino Leonardo is to use a STM32F401CCU6, so you don't get a lot of delay and also to make the build a bit more cheaper!

[@uElectroPro]

I haven't tried this board yet. But arduino leonardo uses atmega32u4 microcontroller, which has built-in USB to serial convertor. That's why it can be used as mouse, keyboard or joystick. And this FFB Firmware is compatible with only arduino leonardo and pro micro.

hey man what is the extra circute board above the motor driver ? can you please upload your circute diagram with all the button and the shifter, I think the circuit diagram doesn't include the buttons

[@uElectroPro]

The extra circuit board is Arduino mini that I used to detect 4 buttons on the steering wheel because of limited wires. Purpose of arduino mini is the convert 1 Analog input to 4 digital outputs for arduino leonardo. If you want to add buttons process is simple, just connect one wires of button to arduino leonardo digital pin and other to the gnd

@@israeljmtd1667 1) no you can't use digital input instead of analog input for multiple buttons (for arduino mini) 2) capacitor is used to filter out the fluctuation 3) Yes, shifters are directly connected to the (Arduino Leonardo) digital pin and ground (GND), and these are the same ones shown at 2:25.

Can we use L298N motor driver ibstead of Bts7960?

[@uElectroPro]

No, I wouldn't recommend using L298N. L298N is rated for low power consumption applications (like below 2 amps), and cannot handle the high current drawn by 775 dc motor. So, it's recommended to use BTS7960 43A motor driver.

I'm using 24v 10A power supply for powering up 2 775 DC motors

[@MahenderRana]

What's the torque? Or should A. Higher / bigger motor would be better OR B. two of these motor will be better. Thanks

[@uElectroPro]

The total torque at the steering wheel, considering 775 dc motor, 4:1 gear ratio and a steering wheel diameter of 9 inches, is approximately 0.0896 N.m. The choice between a higher/bigger motor or two motors depends on your specific requirements. A: A higher or bigger motor generally provides more torque and power, but can be expensive B: Using two motors can distribute the load between them, resulting in better torque sharing and potentially higher overall torque output

[@AKAGriPx]

can u do a nm test? to test if its stronger than a t300 for example

[@michal_pll]

it can be stronger than any wheel you can buy just use motor with enough power
