Anybody tried to do a pedal set with this?

Hitman_M3 · 11 May 12, 16:26

Have found several of these with varied prices -some not that expensive-, and was thinking myself how come I have never seen anybody try to do a simracing pedal set with this ... have you seen one?

funny 3 days ago i have talked about modding a real pedal for sim racing.
for it to work, we do need something that can "translate" your driver input you to digital imput. Like "fanatec" does with magnets for a very precise measurements over the hole spectrum.
But the bottom line is, if you want to use one of those pedal that are use IRL you should look at a price range of about some of the expensive sets +- 10-20£ but then again the pleasure of doing it yourelf and geting to work outweight the prize of just buying a set.
But all i all not a bad idea

Attaching a pot (Magnetic or not) to each pedal directly or via a linkeage should be quite easy. Hell, in fact you probably could do a great set with the electronics of 2nd hand logitech pedals

As for the pedal, I have seen a guy construct a terrific set using a real brake pump lined to a brake piston that pushes the brake pads against the load cell (Now that's clever!).

Hitman_M3 · 31 May 12, 14:57

cheers

We've sold a number of sets in Europe and the Americas using these components:

Hitman_M3 · 14 June 12, 21:03

Ahhh haha I knew it ... those pedals are too good to be missed by any enterpreneuring hardware tinkerer

I guess price will however be quite expensive, even more than CST?

Any web one can check to see more info and details about them?
