Racing SimHub Box for Fans, Pedal Rumble, and high power 12 V distribution
thingiverse
I designed this box to house all the electronics for my VR racing simulator using SimHub to control the wind simulations fans, pedal rumble motors, and distribute all the 12V power to the 2 amplifiers that power the 4 channels of bass shakers (need high amp 12V input). The Monster Motor shield barely gets warm after 1hrs steady state run of the bgears b-Blaster 120x38 fans with the fan blowing directly over it. It uses a 5mm thick piece of acrylic to slide in from the top to cover the box (dimensions: 5.875" wide x 6.75" long x 5mm thick) . Below is a list of parts i purchased besides the 2X arduino unos and the normal motor shield (I had a very old adafruit motor shield laying around that i flipped the power input screw terminals around because they were too close to the inner wall). 5.5mm x 2.1mm Power Jacks (2 different sizes used to avoid connecting rumble motor ports to fan ports): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08KQ7PP21/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 5.5mm x 2.5mm Power Jacks: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08KQ8DLKC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Banana Jacks for power input: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RYL7885/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Terminal Strip: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CM1JQCR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Monster Moto Shield (for fans): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07V3KR6N6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 40mm 12V Fan ( SUNON KDE1204PFV1): https://www.amazon.com/KDE1204PFV1-SUNON-12V-40mm-Fan/dp/B08QFGBQQH/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=KDE1204PFV1&qid=1631326641&s=electronics&sr=1-4 Note I also attached a STEP file if anyone wants to modify.
