  • Have you ever wanted a driving sim setup but are as broke as a chipmunk's balls? Are you also a hoarder? then watch this video. you won't get a driving sim setup but you'll learn how to make your own out of the landfill materials from Toy Story 3.
    Oh boy building this sure was difficult and took a long time. the good news is that if you subscribe i will release the puppies in my basement from being used as fossil fuels for my eco-friendly puppyMobile 9000

    Aa a fellow bootlegger, I approve. I have actual equipment lol. But, I use my wheel as a throttle in flightsim, and I bought a 5$ broken stick back in 2019 and cut the spring, replaced the sensor with an idential one I found in another broken flightsim thing I had (it literally just plugged in), and to this day, I just use rubber bands for the return to center action.
    For the longest time too, I had been using a bottlecap and a hair tie to keep the wire in my PS4 controller.
    Over the years I can remember tinkering around with all sorts of crap for gaming, but I can't even remember half of what I did.
    Being poor, actually gives you a surprising amount to do, as it turns out.

  • @Vlad69422
    @Vlad69422 Місяць тому +10

    i’ve done this before, i have a theoretical solution for the misalignment of the wheel, instead of using an optical mouse you could use a trackball mouse because it makes physical contact with the pipe. Or you could go a more expensive and complicated route and get a rotary encoder or potentiometer and connect it to an arduino board. For the Caster return u can connect a spring to the pipe. so when u turn it either way it’s gonna recenter, the stiffer the spring the faster it returns. keep it up

      @Tako_Balls if you want to use a arduino, use a leonardo or pro micro because they have native hid support (hid is the way mouses keyboards and controllers)
      but if youre going to use a arduino you can also make it use analog controls (like a wheel)

  • @MrAdamDMC

    Back when I started sim racing, I used to try and build my own steering wheel and it worked for a while until I got fed up with the wheel not recalibrating to the centre. What you did with the programming honestly would've made me happy back then. The pedals were quite cool to see since you added springs while I just placed my keyboard on the floor and just the keys with my bare foot. I tried making a shifter but I couldn't find a way to implement it smoothly and abandoned the idea. After a while, I finally got myself a T300RS and the quality is definitely better and it was definitely worth it. Low budget sim racing builds will always have a place in my heart

    Great video! A while back I made my own handbrake from a micro switch from an old microwave and a pcb board from an old keyboard. I soldered it together and mapped the button to a key on the keyboard and assembled it on a handbrake i bought from online for 15. It worked great for a few months but proved un reliable as i had to re-solder it multiple times. I recently bought a used usb handbrake. Im planning on making a sequential shifter with the same switches and my old handbrake. Im using an arcade usb encoder this time instead of a pcb board and its proving to be much better. If you plan on making a 3rd DIY sim setup I would highly recommend doing this way.
    If anyone wants to get into sim racing I would really recommend used. I bought my sim setup which included a Thrusmaster T300RS, T8HA shifter, T3PA pedals and a sim cockpit for 350. Also I got a triple monitor setup for free just because someone was going to throw it out anyways. So you can get some good deals if you look. Loved the video Asian Micheal Reeves. I would post the links i used to build the handbrake and shifter but youtube isn't letting me post the link or title.

      When your part moves, use plugs on PCBs instead of soldering wires to them. Wire wears out VERY quickly at solder joints. Also flux paste. Lots of flux.
