My new project - 'Transformer' Standup/Sit down driver cab
BadMouth:
Good to know. I considered using an electromagnetic clutch off an AC compressor to switch between 270 degree and freewheeling 360 degree wheel types.
Never got much farther than determining it required more current than I wanted to bother with handling.
Cretster:
Well these claim to be 8 watts (or 6 maybe) at 12v so not hugely powerful but state 25kg lifting strength. Even with both attached its relatively easy to 'unclip' the wheel as it were, but they still hold it fairly steady. I think a system them momentarily moves a bolt into position, then back again if you can reverse it (or retract from the opposite side) would be much better as it'd avoid keeping them on for long periods. Not sure if the heat can cause a problem and I hadn't timed how long they were on but might test that a bit tonight.
Too hot to touch though, which generally isn't a great thing.
lolomc2:
Maybe you can try to supply those with 9 volts ?
Cretster:
They'd be weaker though. I think maybe add a timer to the circuit or something.
Cretster:
Just did a few races on Forza and it's tiring on the arms so something (the wheel I guess) is still not in the right position.
Bit difficult to do a lot about it at this stage so it might just be something I have to get used to.
Also, I'm not getting any force feedback through the logitech wheel I'm using via Cronusmax to play forza on the xbox 360. I'm sure it did work at some point so probably a setting but it's hard to use without it getting stiffer to turn as you drive faster.
Elite is awesome to play on this, although I just haven't learned all the controls by a long stretch so more messing about than actually playing it properly!
