Project BruteForce2 - IONI-based DIY DD FFB Wheel

No issue at all with the PSU and no issue with IONI.
In practical terms, Bus voltage impacts only max rotational speed, maybe you'll have just few rpm less, you won't notice it.

Thanks for your answer. But I see there are PSUs with 44V and 52V. I would like to know why there is such big difference in the voltage.

In the product description, it is said that "They will work on both standard 115V and 230V at 50Hz or 60Hz. And the output is 50V/12A ad 24V/2A.".
I have less knowledge about electric part. But I guess it should be around 47VDC from [230:50=218:47.3].
My expectation is wrong? :confused: It woudl be very thankful to explain it clearly for noob.

Thanks.

I'd like to share the answer from the PSU company. It might be helpful to whom has a mind to buy the linear PSU. The PSU is wired to 120VAC or 240VAC. Hence the output voltage is expected value and it is confirmed there is no issue in terms of functionality.
 
Softslider are you having problems getting your wheel working? or is it underperforming, the lower voltage shouldn't make a lot of difference, Beano said the IONI could run as low as 24volts.
From memory my 50 volt rail on the Antek runs around 51 volts @ 250 VAC @ 50Hz and my 24 VDC rail runs between 27-28 VDC which is a bit high so I fitted a regulated 24v psu, my mains power should be 240 VAC but I see as high as 260 VAC not good!
I haven't got Granity installed on this pc yet so I can't check the voltage inside Granity for you.

Thanks, cookie.
Now I can run my OSW. I was told from Granite that maybe I can set full current lowering phase current(from hidden menu) and FUV. But the phasing current setting doesn't work and I'm checking it with Granite. The reason I ask to measure the voltage is to clarify if the lower voltage is from the factory or any defect. Now I got to know it is from the factory as it is wired to 120/240VAC.

BTW have you ever experienced high frequency noise in fast steering wheel action? In my case, I hear the noise in the case. In below video, I did the action to make the noise on purpose. In the game, this happens in fast oversteer case and fast recovery. I'm investigating what the issue is. The noise seems coming from PSU(not coiling part) or IONI board. But not for sure between them.
 
Is there someone who used a Kollmorgen AKM52/53 with IONI and wants to post the Granity machine settings here ?

I know Beano has, but he's not frequently in this forum you could try and contact him at http://forum.virtualracing.org/showthread.php/95803-Project-BruteForce2-IONI-based-DIY-DD-FFB-Wheel-(Extensive-worklog) Beano doesn't want people to copy his work to other sites or forums but i hope posting this link is okay.

That's all i could think of to help you :rolleyes:
 
Wouldn't you be better of with the SimuCUBE kit from Granite Devices.

SimuCUBE OpenSimWheel system is now real
https://igg.me/at/simucube

It looks like Ollie added a motor package that would be a good compliment to the SimuCUBE KIT.
https://sim-pli.city/collections/all...l-motor-bundle

$610 usd including shipping a good deal for:

MiGE 130ST-M15015 (with 5000ppr encoder)
Adjustable Motor Mount
Motor Shaft to Steering Wheel Adapter
Pre-assembled 3 metre Motor power cable
Pre-assembled 3 metre Motor encoder cable
Pre-wired Emergency Stop with 3 metre cable
DB15 connector and ferrite cores
Also is $50 upgrade worth it for the DB15 connector and ferrite cores

SimuCUBE Kit $399 usd.
 
I wouldn't know to be honest!

The page you are linking to is offline.

The advantage is that I am buying locally, saves lots on shipping and taxes :)
 
Seems very interesting, also some prototype pictures look very clean and tidy and with a small footprint in mind. It might
be worth the wait and see if this becomes a standard of sorts :)

One concern, does the SimuCUBE support an emergency stop? I don't see it mentioned anywhere and would like to have the option.
 
Yes it is supported wgeuze. But one simucube on the way to my home so i will keep you posted
 
Thanks :)
I'm really anxious to get everything going, patience is a virtue sometimes..

Did you get your board? I have mine up and running

[emoji15] no i didn't get or hear nothing. Did they notify you it was sent your way or did it just arrive? When did you get it? How is it, easy to set up? How is the feeling in rf2. What servo do you use.

Sorry for the lots of questions but i can't wait any longer. [emoji6]
 
No Problem

1. It just arrived no notice
2. It arrived Friday
3. Really easy to setup I have the motor.drc if you need it
4. RF2 feels ok now a little more work to do, check this thread Progidy pointed me in the right direction
5. I use a Mige 10010

I had some issues with overvolt errors you need to set the Over Voltage Fault Threshold to 49v for a 48v supply (advice from granite)

By the way it feels fantastic

Thnx for your response, yup some great people here in this thread and on this forum. I've seen Prodigy on VR forums (German) too, at least i think it's the same Prodigy because his avatar is the same over there ;)
Have fun setting it up to your liking and if your done i wouldn't mind if you shared your settings, i will do the same so other people following the build with simucube have a starting point in settings for OSW/rF2.

edit: Pictures looking great :cool:

Yup, that would be me ;)

Although I am not german, I do speak and understand that language so I am hanging often on VR forum to learn more and gather information :)
 
i also bought a kit to tomo meglic and he was very professional and send the packaged 100% in the batch he told me (1 month aprox from ordering it).
I haven't mounted it yet and thus i haven't tried it cause i have no display to play any game, i am waiting for cv1.
