I forgot to post the review on the Racewerks pedals Will from boosted media explains how the SC2 accessory port is used and how the software integration works.
and runs through a lot of the benefits explained above.
He also compares the Heuskenveld Ultimates to the Racewerk hydraulic pedals.
Very good review Will Knows his stuff and he is an Aussie
Such thing would need a not so small software project. Easier would be to make a generic load cell amplifier for the load cells of third-party pedals such as Heusinkveld, but even then the specs on the load cells vary a lot between Heusinkveld Pro/Ultimate and Sprint, not to mention any other pedal brands.
One more advantage could be that some older games only support 2 controllers maximum (I found that out for GP3 and GP4). Having pedals, an SC2 and a USB wheel doesn’t work
I have hopes that connecting the pedals to the SC2 base the whole thing will be recognized as 1 controller?
BJ Steel GT pedals (2 hall sensors + 200kg loadcell) directly to SC2 accesory Port is working as It should.
LC sensor has 4 wires so LeoBodnar LC Amp is needed.
Hall sensors without problems.
Full Simucube 2 Ecosystem:
Edit:
I Saw some Heusinkveld Sprint photos on its webstore and looks like the LC sensor is a 4 wires one like the BJ Steel ones, so you need to follow those cables and look at where It connects on the integrated PCB. Try to disconnect or desolder to not damage/devaluate your pedals. Or cut at a reasonable lenght:
Sure!
Just like the BJ pedal.
I was able to maintain the OG PCB box doing some jumps and a middle connections board. It is a mesh but I will take care of It soon
Not necessary but if no breadboard, you need a cable with 9 wires, and then you will have to solder 3 wires to the same pin (GND and +5v)
My method lets you use a Cat6 lan cable (8 wires) to Connect the breadboard to D15 and use all 8 cables to feed the complete Simucube2 Ecosystem: 4 wires for Axes data pins, 2 wires for Seq, one for +5v and the last is GND
Sorry Alfye for noob question: if I make mistakes connecting the cables (invert ground and +5 or others) may I damage the pedals electronic or the SC2?
Be careful with LeoBodnar LC Amp, dont make mistakes with that because you can fry It.
Hall sensors are more forgiving but Data cable must be in place. If you mishmash GND with +5v you will have the signal inverted
Thanks, I have read this from Leo Bodnar site:
“Warning: make sure +5V and GND pins on the potentiometer side are connected correctly!
Load cell is a passive device and wiring mistakes on that side will not damage the amplifier.” maybe this can help me?
Dear Alfye I have bought a d15 cable and tried to use the buttons only using pin 2 5 and 11, but it does not work. Even if I connect ground and a button there are no results. I have an R2 version, Do I have to do anything to get it to work?
