Heusinkveld Sprint vibration motor mounts

thingiverse

Add Brake lock-up and Traction loss feedback to your Heusinkveld Sprint pedals! Requirements: Arduino Uno Board Motor Shield V2 5V N20 Vibration motors from AliExpress (5 Pack is $3USD) SimHub software Soldering and 3D printing abilities Gap in the Brake pedal arms is 30mm, Accelerator is 20mm. I drew up these 3D models of plastic inserts that would snuggly fit behind the pedal surface, and securely hold the motors. Plastic motor holders were made wider than the gap, and the bars loosened for install, so clamping them back tight holds the motors very secure, I also used double sided tape so they will never slide out. The motors are a snug fit in the printed plastic, but I hot glued them in place to be sure. Steps: 1- Print both the Brake and Accelerator plastic inserts. 2- Solder a 50cm length of wire to each motor 3- Insert motors into the plastic holders, secure with hot glue 4- Loosen the allen bolts on the pedal arms to 'spread' them a tiny amount, add thin double sided tape to the plastic inserts and slide them behind the pedal face. Clamping the arms back tight will securely hold the plastic in place. 5- Run motor wires to the motorshield v2 on top of the Arduino Uno board. See AMSTUDIO video on youtube about WindSim for how to confgure motors and Arduino in SimHub software. - Note use 'Wheels lock' for brakes and 'Wheels slip' for Thottle motor. (the AMSTUDIO video will tell you to use speed for their fans). You do not need an external power supply to run this, just the USB is fine. 6- Test and enjoy!
