I have to mount my new ERN 1080 on the small Mige so I have to create the adapter to fit it. One of the reason is to adapt the 8mm mige shaft with the 6mm hole of the encoder.
To do this I have to remove the 10000 encoder (to better see how the shafter is) and then mount it back till the adpter is ready (beacuse I do not want to stop racing this week).
The question is, when I will mount back the mige 10k encoder will I just need to recenter the wheel through software (because the encoder and mige shaft will match in different position)?
I want to esclude I will need to unmount the quickrelease/shaft adapter for phasing motor correctly (for example) or something related.
Yes, if the encoder will not install in the exactly the same orientation (which is very, very likely to happen), you will have to re-set index point (in MMOS) or just run the wizard again (in SimuCUBE firmware).
ok. I was asking because I remember (when first installing) that the wheel should be oriented in a way that the motor passed the index point on first oscillation when powered on.
I did not know if it was required by motor or encoder.
Yep, “wheel passes the index point during phasing” was the recommended way using MMOS, so the wheel would be immediately usable after phasing.
Using SimuCUBE firmware, this does not matter, as the index point is NOT being read by the firmware during phasing, and thus if index point -based indexing is used by the user, then wheel absolutely must be turned past that point anyway.
Has anyone installed and used one of these Simtronix SinCos Encoders yet with a small Mige? Just wondering if you’re loving it and if it’s worth the outlay, I guess new inventory is on the way
Only if I can find some free time from my 2 year old
I have much work to do with my rig. Installing the Simtronix encoder is one of them.
Where was all these wonders, when I was a single man, racing with a Fanatec Porsche wheel?
Thanks for the reply and oh yeah, understand that, where to find the time I’m currently running an Oillie system, mmos, 5k ppr at the moment. I have received the SimuCube board and a new power supply but have yet to assemble it…
But definitely loving the OSW for now! Really just wondering if the upgrade will help with the smoothness/notchiness on the small mige.
I have finaly installed the sin-cos encoder this weekend.
I don’t know how sometimes it’s said difference is small.
It has changed the small mige completely into something else.
I am soooo satisfied with the result.
Much more detail and refinement. It’s still a beast but feels like an educated beast now
The whole experience has now become how I have always wanted it to be.
And I have not even pushed the thing to it’s limits. I am using it with 1 mil. CPR. setting.
Great upgrade. I recommend it to anyone that thinks about it. I truly feel like I don’t need any more upgrades on the system.
Great news so far from your side, bad news are that SinCos are not longer available, I also tried to order a SinCos Encoder 11 minutes after I got email about a few encoders in stock, almost too late. All kits have been already sold lol.
Hey Tolga, thanks for the update! I do have a couple questions when you get a chance:
Which encoder did you upgrade from?
When you use a high TBW does the mige still get a grainy/sandy sound/feel or is that gone or reduced with the SinCos?
It is very good, on racing in the Highend steering wheel thread I created I ranked the Large and Small Mige servos with the 40K and SinCos in my mind … Yes I have run them all… though now I am on my 5000line SinCos on the Large Mige.
this was my determination of feel:
10 - Large Mige - 3600+ line SinCos full Interpolation (3.6 million points+)
9 - Large Mige - 3600+ line SinCos 64x or 1024 line full Interpolation (approx 1 million points)
8
7 - Small Mige - 3600+ line SinCos full Interpolation (3.6 million points+)
6 - Small Mige - 3600+ line SinCos 64x or 1024 line full Interpolation (approx 1 million points)
5 - Large Mige - 40K Incremental
4
3
2
1 - Small Mige - 40K Incremental
I have upgraded from a 10.000PPR (40.000 CPR) encoder.
If you go beyond 680TBW you get a bit sandy sound but that is an issue with the IONI as far as I know. But I must say that sandy feeling is better then the original encoder.
No issues with 680 and less.
I currently use it with 680TBW, but I can increase it no problem for me and the best thing is, I can bring down the overall filter to low values (even close it totaly). No issues.
Upgrade is very very easy. I did not even had to get out of my cocpit.
And yes there is no glue on Mige.
Once again I totaly recommend this upgrade to anyone that has the means to do it.
It’s the biggest change I felt in my system since the day I builded it.
Hello guys, I think my ERN 1080 could be a fault one and would like to check.
connected to the simucube but I have no signal in the configuration tool (no wheel rotation).
It is nearly impossible I made a wrong wiring so I think it is not working (I bought a used one).
I switched back to the 10000ppr to test if everything else was fine.
Is it normal that I see the rotation of this encoder even if is still selected the sincos encoder 256x in Granity??
ps only for info. the grinding/sand noise from small mige (when tbw higher then 680) still come when I rotate only the encoder with the motor shaft disconnected. I was surprised!
my friend!!
