A quick test, without a wheel attached to the spindle, of the openffboard running on Linux in BeamNG.drive. It took a while to get here as I’m not very knowledgeable with motor drivers but it seems to work so far.
Next step will be to fabricate a bracket to mount it to my rig. Since this video I have mounted a wheel and done some driving. The feel is pretty good, the motor is only 6NM which in DD land is a little on the low side but it’s incredibly smooth.
Hardware:
OpenFFBoard (purchased assembled)
ODrive S1
Baldor BSM90N-1150AFP (ebay auction for untested motor, was about 50USD shipped)
48v 10.5A power supply
Man thats cool. I want to build my own wheel too. I think once I determine which motor to use Ill be golden just hard to decide. Im hoping to build a motion rig also in the future.
Nice! I wish I had the space for a motion rig. That sounds like a fun project.
What motors are you looking at?
Honestly I have a Poang chair from ikea and I was thinking about using windshield wiper motors like this fella did. https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/ikea-1-5-dof-ultra-comfort.5602/ I think it would be a great entry level start then Ill maybe move on to actuators and big boy stuff.
LOL, that’s amazing. I have one of those chairs which is currently piled with extra blankets and no one has sat in it in years. I may have to give that “1 DOF of relaxing movement” a try too! Even if I have to drag it out of the way when not in use. That’s a much smaller footprint than what I was imagining for a motion rig.
I really like mine. Its comfortable for long races. I did brace the chair so at the moment mine doesnt have the rocking effect. Here are some pics for a couple months ago when I got my g29. https://imgur.com/gallery/9kkFi4T
I really like it and I think I could hide all the guts underneath the chair when its all said and done.
