Hi Ben.
I too like to hack and mod everything, and I need to take my latest idea to the next level. I would really love and appreciate your input on my project.
Firstly a little info on the project so far;
I modded my SteelSeries SRW-S1 motion sensor wheel to fit on a Sidewinder PC steering wheel base so I could get force feedback F1 wheel on the cheap. That was the easy part though. I now plan on building a full on sim racing seat but I want some sort of motion and there is no way I can afford D-box motion actuators.
Since the Sidewinder base tells the racing sim the wheel position etc, I wondered if I could use the motion sensor input from the SRW-S1 to control a motor that would make the seat or the whole rig move inline with the steering wheel.
I have at my disposal 2 power wheelchair motors with 32:1 gearbox (images below) along with motor controller and joystick etc.
I guess what I would like to ask you, Ben, is; how would you go about it and what extra hardware do you think I might need etc?
Any input is very welcome.
Thanks in advance, Steve.
