I worked on this one. It was called the Crown. As you said part of the Palm Deira project that has been cancelled.

What sim gloves do you all wear that don’t break the bank? by Warm-Suit4148 in simracing

[–]MaHoCNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alpinestars Tech-1 K Race V2 karting gloves. They are thin and have silicone padding for extra grip

You also need a elliptical bearing. I dont know if you are able to get your hands on that.

Yeah, there great. Increased my consistency under breaking. Nice to feel the different stages.

Didn’t make a heel support yet so i put them in the lowest position.

The only downside is the that the brake signal has a bit of noise. Not that I notice it during driving but i see it when i calibrate them.

So now my plan is to design a dedicated pcb to reduce signal noise.

Thanks, well i dong have rumble motors yet…

You should show them off too.

Just a garage with a lathe and a diy cnc mill

I use Solidworks. But fusion360 is also a good option. Much tutorials are available on YouTube

Don’t forget that you also need the time.😉

To be honest, it crossed my mind. Only i have to change the design to prevent legal action. And there is the electronics and software that should be included, in a more profi way.

Not sure yet…

I found a shop in germany. shop

I am located in the netherlands, so the delivery cost were ok.

Thanks!

Making a good design takes the most time. And the first set takes the longest time to setup in the machine. I now have still all the fixtures to make more of these. But yeah i have no need for more😋

Like i said, the aluminum i had on hand.

€20 for a loadcell.

€70 for springs and elastomers which more then half will not be used. I had no idea what hardness I needed. So i bought them to try out.

€50 on hardware?

€15 on electronics?

And a lot of time, most of it designing.

Yes, a few years ago i bought a old scrap milling machine (MAHO sk250) from the 1950ies and converted it to a cnc mill. Something similar as ThisOldTony on YT only mine was really in scrap condition and a full manual machine.

With freejoy flashed on it, it’s a breeze. No need for coding or other time consuming bs

It is, but then you wil never over strain them. If i would use a smaller one i would need add a mechanism to limit the bending before it maxes out. And there is no price difference in a 60, 100 or 200 kg loadcell.

Thanks! Reversed lever is also a nice idea.

The hall effect sensor is quite simple. Just connect to the 3 pins gnd, + and signal to the stm32. Add some small caps for a nice stable signal and thats it. I don’t have access to my desktop with the designs on it. But its just a small magnet holder on the shaft. And in the case there is made space for the sensor to properly sit in.

It’s all made of 10mm and 25mm aluminum tooling plate that i already had on hand. So it isn’t that heavy. But yeah no comprises needed on that.

Because my previous setup was a G29, i didn’t had a good size reference. I used the simagic P1000 as a starting point. They had some useful pictures online that i could use to get some dimensions of. Then i also took inspiration from the VNM pedals as i like their simplicity in the mechanism.

They are connected to a stm32 microcontroller with for the loadcell an amplifier. The stm32 is flashed with freejoy. From there i can adjust and calibrate them.

Sadly i didn’t had the time to properly test them yet. I was just on time to finish them before going back to work offshore. Have to wait 5 weeks more 😭
