It called as cheapest whell set by Arduino

[EngineeroftheHumanity]

I am studying mechanical engineering in Turkey and  I'm very interested in simulation games. I decided to do my own steering because the steering was expensive and I started to investigate.I decided to do the steering with Arduino and I found a video on YouTube, and Other videos are available on  his youtube channels.

He has helped me a lot.I finished the software part because the simplest part was the software but I have not been very interested in exterior architecture because it is very difficult to do. I plan to do it first with AutoCAD, and then I to do it. I will try to do the project on next summer.You can do it in a cheap way.  If I do this project on summer, I will share the photos here.

Awesome! Wouldn't it be possible to make it like 1800°? (I think that's how much a truck steering wheel IRL turns, correct me if I'm wrong)

Good luck and have fun with this project

[Aestrial]

This is awesome! Great to see people getting hands on with these sorts of things, very exciting.

 

Best of luck with your project sir!

[EngineeroftheHumanity]

truck sterring wheel IRL is 900° also you can give as many degrees of rotation as you like.Related to software @Spieker  Thank you.

I would like such projects to be thrown under this topic.Working on it is fun  but a bit hard.  @Attach Thank you.

@EngineerMsty I'd love to learn to do something like this. Maybe I should watch some videos too.

[EngineeroftheHumanity]

You can start with Arduino. What is Arduino?  There are many sources available about this you can find if you search. @Attach.

[Spieker]

I asked a just asked a trucker IRL I'm actually pretty sure that Trucks IRL have 1800° steering - 900° to the left and 900° to the right.

[EngineeroftheHumanity]

Yes, its possible you can make 1800°. That's what I know truck IRL have 900° steering 450° to left and 450° to right .

Nice  Does the wheel also have force feedback or?

[EnLight]

It is impressive to see people creating this themselves, rather than buying an expensive branded wheel + pedal set and not only will you save money, it looks as if it is working  perfectly. 

 

Is there force feedback integrated in to the wheel / do you plan to add it if it is not? 

 

 

Either way, this is very impressive! Good luck with your project in the future.

You can, but you have to find the Arduino codification. I have in my mind, but there is no idea how it is done. @H_pro1

After the steering, I think I will add.I need to find the software codes. I do not code myself, I download it from the library.   @EnLight

[Hpro1]

Nice @EngineerMsty! If you'll get the FFB to work, tell us how does it feel

[EngineeroftheHumanity]

I will search FFB on summer. It will be difficult . @H_pro1

Yep, good luck for the project, so far it's looking very good!

[EngineeroftheHumanity]

Thanks @H_pro1

Awesome man, like to see looks weird but at the end of the day still works than paying for a £250 one

Arduino is great. I worked with it and by far, the best one to use when you're at the beggining of programming.

[MushroomLTU]

There's a similar app for Android called 900steeringwheel. Works well, needs program for PC, but it doesn't cost and is free. You can steer using phone, can change how many degrees you can turn to left and right, has many buttons on screen plus sliders (for acceleration, viewing) and also has H-shifter, but I couldn't make it work on ETS2. Overall, program works well with ETS2. You need router for it and both PC and phone must be connected to same Wi-Fi. You can make little steering wheel out of cardboard if you're creative enough and you can make perfect steering wheel.
