- How I built an insanely powerful sim wheel from a salavaged treadmill motor!
It's roughcut from vids I took along the process, I didn't have enough of a defined plan to take as many clips as I should have.
I know the video was long and the tech info brief, but feel free to ask away if you want to know more about this or have a suggestion to try!
I'm starting to add more deatils at www.xsimulator... so please check it out
actually this motor is powerfull that you can directly attach it to a wheel and direct drive it without pulley, it's gonna lower latency response and give you the best torque the motor can provide.
I set it up in the way you described and it overheated and damaged the brushes. Brushed DC motors are not meant to run at almost 0 RPM.
@@TurnerTVOfficial you sure isnt a power thing like an undervoltage or something, because it doesn't matter if it is a DC or AC or stepper it should accomplish what a motor does as long as the power and the driver and encoder are suitable to it
Hanging out for your next video mate, keep up the good work
Love the style mate, very entertaining video. Subbed.
If we both survive the Apocalypse, I'm going with you!
Hey man. I was inspired by your project when I watched it a few years ago and I have been thinking to make a treadmill ffb motor myself. I finally gathered the required hardware recently including motor driver and a 2.25hp treadmill motor out of a treadmill someone was giving away for free on marketplace. The electronics I use including the firmware and pcb design files is all open source. I run the motor at a maximum of 23amps and can get 9nm out of it when hitting endstops but have it limited to 8nm for the ingame effect. And did I mention I use it in DD configuration?! I love it! It works soo well because it feels smoother and more detailed than my csl dd which is now sitting on the shelf! Can you believe that? I posted two videos so far of me racing with the motor in assetto corsa, you can check them out if you want and maybe give some suggestions what else you would like to see or what you think.
Can you please post the tutorial
@@FUNTIME-jf7rvits called openffboard + tmc.
Hey mate, I really hope you're coming back with more videos
There's a fair bit recorded, quality is hit and miss , but I've struggled with motivation. Thanks for the encouragement.
I have a spare washing machine motor sitting around, how much would you have to spend on the other stuff minus the steering wheel of course? Would this be just as good as the "MiGE" motor?
Pretty likely the washing machine motor is a three phase/bldc motor so it will be more trouble to get working in this fashion. If it's DC then check out the build thread on xsimulator forums to decide if it's worth it. It's not going to be as good as the mige motor.
Washing machine motors seem to generally be induction or brushed AC motors, which won't work. A direct drive motor is likely a 3 phase synchronous ("BLDC") motor and may be tricky to get working.
Unless your motor is a brushed DC motor, you will have a hard time using it.
Lmaoo this is great! Absolute luck i stumbled on that.
Seems a bit flimsy at points tho. But really great "ghetto" diy wheel
Cheers! I had to redesign the bearing mounts as they both cracked after a couple of dozen hours but its holding up fine now.
U should upload more
LMAO! That thing is dangerous!!!! Good f*ing job!
