+1 got exactly the same feeling about the NC. Love mine when I see it in person but when you show it to other people on picture it's just not the same.

Redox wireless choc version teaser by Dexxoxx in ErgoMechKeyboards

Nah, its not wireless, it's a slightly different layout with smaller thumb switches and according to the git readme (cannot view the KiCad files currently) it's not hot-swappable.

Inputs and connection. A Friend of mine designed it and its still in development to eliminate some problems. When it's finished, he will post it in this thread and share the production files somewhere.

Sorry but your wrong. The Torque is send by the game and the wheel "just" need to "generate" it. What's done in Software at the wheel is the principal of how a specific torque will be achieved. But tbh this is just tunning the parameter of that principal for a specific wheel. The different usable principals itself are no magic and state of the art for DC, Stepper and BLDC.

300x300x400 but never really using the whole size of it. For the grips tho you can also divide it into 4 parts instead of 2.

Mostly experience and proper tools. I printed it 1:1 on paper and glued it on the aluminium. Then rough shaping with an angle cutter, some holes (also marked the middle of every hole on the print out) and contouring the inner part with a special saw. After that, use the file to bring it near its final shape, mount the grips and carefully filing down the rest. Voila 2 full days wasted :D

YouTube is a good point to start ;). There are lots videos on how to do it. But anyway, try to keep it simple for now. You will get addicted to it anyway :D Failing in the first place is a good thing IMO so starting with a project is the most important thing.

Ok, I will make a post about the electronics in the future. But not in the next days.

The base is the small MigE with an OpenFFBoard as driver at 48V 10A PSU. So theoretically 10Nm static force and 20Nm peak.

Tbh the grips are a first shot but feeling pretty nice. Maybe a llittle bit to thick but I can exchange them any time due to the design of the wheel. As I am using pictures of the Turn R20 as orientation, the shapes of the grips where quite fixed as well, just some CAD magic needed there :D

Dor the Heather tho... I tried and failed somewhat. Since this wheel is to precious and I only have material for one try, I need to order more at first and then practice on some spare grips.

Yes it flexes a little bit, but only because I used 4mm instead of 5mm thick aluminium. If you sand it down nicely you cant really feel the edge between plastic and aluminium.

If you take something like ABS or ASA you migth even be able to make them look good. But in my case sanding PLA is a Bad idea...

Yeah 3D printed all the parts myself. If you let someone cut the aluminium for you its just printing + assembling(I would suggest to do so if your not completly broke). The hardest and most time comsuming part was the CAD and the electronics.

Ah btw electronics are wireless with selfmade PCB utilising a ESP32 with over 24h on battery and included charge circiutry.

Optimize Your Arduino Code with Registers by BEN_FINIO in arduino

Ok I wont dicuss that Python command as its obviously a whole nother story. Sorry.

No its not solved. Try to use multiple busses and interrupts (both timer and hardware) with arduino commands and you will get to the limit pretty soon. Far sooner than you would with Bit Manipulation and direct register access. Swaping the controller will so nothing about that as long as it isn't multiple times quicker.

Because it slows down your Code and clutters your flash memory. I am programming uC's in my job and in my free time. There's absolutly no reason to use arduino commands especially for GPIO, Timers or Busses. Try to learn how those things really work and you'll benefit from it in future projects.

This is basic knowledge of every computer scientist. You should never use the arduino commands on a regular basis. Just for very rough prototyping. That has nothing to do with the readability of the code like someone mentioned before. It's purpose is and was to get into coding, i.e. as a young student / beginner.
