Is that your bldc-ffb-wheel firmware? A hoverboard motor could be a nice drive for pedals.

PIt is further development of it for joystick purposes(two axis + DCS telemetry).
CI´m targeting the Condor 2 Soaring Simulator. In its Input Section it shows FFB for Stick and Rudder
C
CI assume that pedals mean rudder ...
CI agree that the easiest way is to scale a spring curve with the plane velocity. Zero velocity will mean spring rate zero or very low, higher slope if velocity increases.
CWould it make sense to contact the Condor developer team?
CBtw. FFB wit side winder 2 is really good
CJust a little low forcese
WI wonder if Condor/DirectInput supports three axis FFB devices. Or one two axis device and a second one axis device for the rudders. It could be possible to connect three motors to the VPforce FFB system, just hadn't had the chance to test this yet.
CThey adress the MS Sidwinder 2 correctly, no additional drivers needed
CIm using it with a Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog in parallel, no issues or conflicts.
WYeah, VPforce will also work the same as msffb2, just with more force. What is curious for me is the ffb rudder pedals support :)
CThey should hand over the needed data somewhere.
CI will ask them if they can give us a hint.
CRudder will challenge the motor as you have a lot of force in your legs, especially when things do not run well
CSo this has to be strong and needs to handle overload conditions
WThe 86BLF motor should do the job fine for rudders
CI had the idea to have an output connector on the FFB joystick that delivers the airspeed to the rudder pedals.
CThat would be enough to have a scaleable feedback force at the rudder.
CCan you pick this information from the game interface?
WYeah, I have this in my future roadmap
C
CIn the meantime I will contact the Condor Team.
CCan I drive a FFB Kit parallel to the joystick?
WHow do you mean?
CI use your FFB/Kit to power up the rudder and use a Joystick that uses the same kit for height and aileron
Cso two have to work simultaneously / in parallel
WYeah, that's possible, but I will need to make some software improvements for this usage scenario
CYes, some kind of syncronisation or coupling, master and slave
WThat too, as in syncing two joysticks bidirectionally
COne step at a time 
WYup. But good to have a clear roadmap :)
CIn the CONDOR 2 forum I found this http://www.simprojects.nl/rudder_pedals_with_force_feedback.htm
It uses airspeed and other information to generate rudder forces

CHere you have a interface reading data from Condor 2 and making it available for the arduino board
CThere is as well a arduino FFB Joystick library at https://github.com/YukMingLaw/ArduinoJoystickWithFFBLibrary

PHi there, I love the product you have made here & congratulations on making such a product for the flight sim community. I have a few questions, is the VKB adapter in stock yet? is there a solution provided or one that is regularly used to attach the VKB grip externally to the black box?
WHey, thanks! I'm finalizing the adapter project and it will be available soon as I will need to ship it with a few Rhinos in the upcoming batch. It will twist on the TM/Virpil threads and will have a extension cable with a GX12 4pin connector to attach to the VKB black box.
PSo will it work fully with a VKB MCGU + 200m curved extension? & the KG12 ww2 grip?
WIt's a simple passthrough, so if the the mounting is the same as in the pic, should work 
Pyes that looks to be the same as my gunfighter 3 base connection
WI'll post a pic once I fully finish one
Pare you thinking of making any other FFB flight sim products mainly a yoke & rudder pedals?
WIn due time, currently fully swamped with Rhino stuff
WBut the underlying drive system can fully support both, just a matter of mechanics and additional software improvements
POk good to know I'll keep an eye out. I'm legit in the market for a FFB joystick base first, I just made a big (for me) purchase of flight sim gear so it will be almost christmas by the time I will be looking at making the purchase of one but I very much like the look of yours
Pout of curiosity what would the pre order deposit be for a unit to be ready by november/december?
