I wouldnt say its a waste of time and money since there is no time and money spent. I have tons of them layng around that I have pulled out of various things for free. Both fino and open ffb support pwm and the h brdiges are dirt cheap on amazon.

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 6:45 PM

you can test and still have fun with them until you get bldc motors and drivers for them

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 6:47 PM

And you can replace when your tired of them or have the funds to get something better

You recommend OTHER people to build DC solution as first. For someone who plan to build his first device it is the worst option. Those people need alreacy checked prowen solution with all steps clear and verified by other. Otherwise them just waste their time and money.

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 6:48 PM

I mean they obviously didnt want to go with tried and tested

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 6:48 PM

They wanted the diy route

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 6:49 PM

And how much money and time could dc possibly cost them

SSwiftVengeance And how much money and time could dc possibly cost them

Propeler3D•12/31/22, 6:50 PM

Definitely more, then cheapest walmis kit

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 6:51 PM

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 6:54 PM

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 6:54 PM

And this is in Cad

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 6:59 PM

But the motor can be gotten for free

I pulled this behemoth out of a old tread mill

Propeler3D•12/31/22, 7:01 PM

So. It is already close to 100$ for 2axiss. And you do not account so valuable resource as lifetime?

How much time random person will spend to setup everything together, fix bugs only to realize later that it produces terrible non informative FFB full of terrible cogging effects. And that people already once come throu the same path and created good working solution that imediately gives excelent result - kit on BLDC motors. Smooth, powerfull and easy to use

SSwiftVengeance But the motor can be gotten for free

Propeler3D•12/31/22, 7:02 PM

You are happy if you can get motors for free. Not everybody have the source with them around

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 7:03 PM

Used market

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 7:03 PM

People list free items

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 7:08 PM

Idk I dont see it like that. Yes sure there is kits ready to use but I dont see whats wrong with diy

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 7:09 PM

I have fun playng around with different motors

Propeler3D•12/31/22, 7:13 PM

You will not convince me. I already come through tone of experiments. You can have fun from whatever you want. I just WARN PEOPLE not to start from DC motors if them want good and smooth working solution. Just start with BLDC. Be smart, and believe those who already throw away ton of money an experiments

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 7:15 PM

Not tryng to convince you, I know where your coming from

PPropeler3D And 1/100 of FFB quality. I come through so many options for power train in FFB ...

Bard_the_Bowman•12/31/22, 7:21 PM

Well, no ready made firmware or parts, other than the MSFFB2 board

but let me tell you that is a PROJECT

Bard_the_Bowman•12/31/22, 7:23 PM

Modded msffb2 board allowed me to use dc motors but it’s work to mod it and you have to have very very good motors

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 7:23 PM

Open ffb board and fino project are basically ready made

Bard_the_Bowman•12/31/22, 7:24 PM

Does open FFB work with 2 axis controllers tho? Last I checked into open FFB it wasn’t very useful for joysticks

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 7:24 PM

I have msffb2 also but I havent touched it other then doubling the torque

Bard_the_Bowman•12/31/22, 7:24 PM

Hence my ffb2 route

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 7:24 PM

Yeah it has a joystick 2 axis mode

Bard_the_Bowman•12/31/22, 7:24 PM

Huh. Well that’s new apparently

Bard_the_Bowman•12/31/22, 7:25 PM

Granted I did my frankenstick over a year ago

Bard_the_Bowman•12/31/22, 7:25 PM

Before Walmis kit available, and iirc open FFB had no joystick support

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 7:25 PM

Yeah

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 7:25 PM

It a good joystick

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 7:25 PM

I have two of them

Bard_the_Bowman•12/31/22, 7:31 PM

Ya I’m a little out of the loop honestly, when I did my FFB2 creation there were basically no ready made firmware solutions available

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 7:33 PM

What does it look like

Bard_the_Bowman•12/31/22, 7:36 PM

Bard_the_Bowman•12/31/22, 7:39 PM

Trouble with FFB2 is there is zero anti-cogging so you can only use high end servomotors basically

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 7:40 PM

How is the resolution

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 7:40 PM

1024 right?

Bard_the_Bowman•12/31/22, 7:40 PM

I got used Glentek servomotors on ebay and even then it was $300 in motors.

Bard_the_Bowman•12/31/22, 7:40 PM

Resolution 1024 ya

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 7:40 PM

Holly

Bard_the_Bowman•12/31/22, 7:41 PM

They are beautiful motors tho literally no cogging at all

Bard_the_Bowman•12/31/22, 7:41 PM

At least not noticeable

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 7:41 PM

And probably have good resale value too if you decide to switch them with something else

SwiftVengeanceOP•12/31/22, 7:42 PM

I was looking at electric power steering motors

Bard_the_Bowman•12/31/22, 7:42 PM

Also re: the resolution thing, eventually I’m gonna hook the pot outputs up in parallel to the Virpil DIY board in there and get axis output from that hopefully haven’t got around to it

I wouldnt say its a waste of time and money since there is no time and money spent. I have tons of t
