Finished 2DOF 12V DC wiper arduino playseat

[RacingMat]

hello,

What was wrong with standard potentiometer? Maybe you should explain us this, it could be useful even for your multi-turn pots

About multi-turn pots, if you want to keep precision, you have to use gears.
what is the gear ratio you intend to have?

Great job racingMat!
I was inspired enough by your work to start a playseat project.
My page is here:
viewtopic.php?t=2194

I wrote an Arduino code compatible with your 'RxxLxx' protocol but based on PID.
You can find it in my thread.

Thanks again for your work and feel free to comment mine.

Your project is really the most inspiring!!!!

I have assembled it and worked fine at first try !

I´m having some troubles with Project Cars and XSIM setup, but I´m searching about it.

Thank you very much for share your knowledge with us !

Kind Regards !!!

Thanks very much Paulo for your feedback

I'm really glad to know that my tutorial helped you as far as Brazil!! I whish I could come and see your simulator!

PS: I'm not using PCars so I can't help you further

Congratulations for your work. He was inspired to make my own.

However I am having trouble with one of the engines.

I'm testing it with the rfactor.

To leave the game the engine is back to work, causing the potentiometer do not get to zero and thereby takes off immediately and manually the simulator.
At first I thought it was problem in potentiometer, changed him and continued the same way, but now I do not know what it is.

If you can help me I will be very grateful.

Hi!

Glad you found inspiration!

Can you share screenshots of your setup ans pictures of your wiring?

I managed to solve the problem.
It was the screw was loose.

little things can be really bothering...

Your build was extremely usefull and very nicely done!!!
I used it as a guideline to build mine over the past weeks. I am using the whiper motors mounted in front of the seat between 2 wooden boards (like the logo of x-sim)
When manually giving orders to the arduino everything goes ok (sometimes a bit of jitter) , however when using it when running gtr2 i sometimes get very unrealistic movements: eg: it starts hanging a bit to the front left, or all of the sudden it thinks its braking when just driving...
Any idea's how to solve these problems?
