[@anonimus1230]

hi, we connected everything as you showed, we installed emcutiliti on it, but it doesn't send any signal. (we haven't done the pedals yet, there is a problem with the steering wheel) the arduino lights up, but when we turn the rotary encoder, the program doesn't notice it, and the wheelcheck doesn't work with it either. What could be the problem?

[@techathome]

Have you used 10k resistors for A and B phase wires?

[@anonimus1230]

No, I used a 4.7k resistor, but if I just connect the rotary encoder without the force feedbeck or resistors, it works.

Hi, another great video!! I would like to ask you if I can mount 12mm round buttons with 3 pins (vcc, out, gnd) on the steering wheel. if so, which pins will be used and which one does it correspond to on the diagram? because in the diagram there are only 2 pins without specifying which ones. forgive my ignorance.

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.

[@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.

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👍👍👍

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.

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 ?

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.

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.

It means your Arduino Leanardo is not detected as EMC controller. Try to flash the hex again using xloader.

[@mcnor4104]

Nice project. Mine also completed, Im using a small motor for force feedback..and using RFR software. My setup and design is mostly for Euro Truck Simulator with H Shifter Gear. My Question is, when i try to play with other games e.g Snowrunner or Dirt Rally, the game not detecting the Ardunio Controller, I found a YT video, but need to upload a different HEX file to the Ardunio. How to solve this if you know how? Thanks.

[@techathome]

RFR was giving error for me, also wheel was rotating randomly. So not explored much. But for the same setup, try EMC lite. Just you have to modify some connections. We can see, if this firmware is detected in games mentioned.

[@techathome]

Can you also try to flash EMC hex on to your Arduino and see if it's detected in snow runner??

[@techathome]

Thanks for info

[@brayanosorioamariles72]

good video I ask you, can I also connect the gearbox to this arduino and how to configure it?

[@techathome]

Thank you In the schematics, there is button matrix and it supports upto 16 digital buttons. These can be used for shifter. Tomorrow I will upload video on paddle shifters, in that I have shown this.

Hi! Which power supply did you use?

[@techathome]

I am using 12v, 5A supply. But my motor rating is 24v, 11A

[@dankdadTech]

Can you please tell how do i connect power supply 🥹

[@thoufeekbaber8597]

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

[@techathome]

Thank you, You have to just interchange Encoder A and B phase terminals connected on Arduino pins 0 and 1.

[@thoufeekbaber8597]

[@colevanleeuwen642]

did you just connect the Leonardo to the computer via usb?

[@techathome]

Yes

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

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.

[@kaeganphilips-mt3le]

hi bro i have made this but ffb is not working the motor keeps spinning or not spning at all please help

[@techathome]

Interchange rpwm and lpwm pin connections on pin 9 and 10 and try

[@kaeganphilips-mt3le]

@@techathome actually now it is fine but when i open carx game it is working but in ets2 it is not working sometimes it works and sometimes not (i am talking abiut ffb )

When I use XLoader it says upload failed how do I fix this?

[@techathome]

Are you shorting Gnd and reset button and entering into bootloader?? At this point you have to select com port and click upload.

[@J.J_18]

bro if i just want pedals alone (i will steer via keyboard) what connection do i have to do

[@techathome]

Connection remains same, do it only for pedals. Rest, depends on configuration inside the game.

[@SKJ1024]

What was the cost of the aluminium pulleys?... I'm using a chain sprocket system but its not that smooth because of the chain.

[@techathome]

This is high quality material, So costed me 2.9k for pulleys and belts. I didn't find any other options, so bought them.

[@SKJ1024]

@@techathomethanks, I can't find them in my city.

[@techathome]

I bought from local shop in Bangalore. Also can you share some videos of your steering wheel, just wanted to see how chain+sprocket system works.

[@AIexKilin]

How could i go about making just the pedals, and have them connect to my pc directly by usb?

[@techathome]

Yes, You can use that way.

[@infini6338]

Do u have one with h shifter or pedal shifter as well?

[@techathome]

We will be making both in coming days. Next video will be on pedal shifter. But H shifter will take time.

[@rcstuff7718]

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

[@techathome]

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

[@thejuviswam860]

When i press brake pedal the accelerator Sensitivity also shows in emc utility and when i press accelerator pedal the sensitivity does not show any thing

[@techathome]

Try to use B10K potentiometer which has metal knob.

[@gagansandhu8472]

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

[@techathome]

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