Gaming steering wheel setup
-
Hi @vipin-i-v . Are you planning to build your own with Arduino?
-
@salmanfaris yes..istarted building the setup first for a mobile phone and it was a 900° setup,i set it up using different eatio gears as to get the 900°angle...and now I've setup one for pc games as most of the games have mouse steering,so i set it up with that but the position or the centering of the steering wheel is not perfect and the experience is being affected..and by the way your session today with IEDC was great as you shared a possibility for me..
️ -
@salmanfaris And yes I've seen people build it with arduinoes but i never got the idea and I'm a noob at coding and all that..
-
@vipin-i-v Yeah, better to follow any of the open projects and build one, then you got a basic idea about how things are working together to achieve the goals, then we can start building our own.
If you have any favourite "Gaming steering wheel setup" project, please share.

@salmanfaris there is readymade stuff to buy,like the logitech g29 and the thrustmaster and also people have built it...I'll try to share a good one below here
This one given here is a part 2 video and it has the setup and all that stuff..
-
@vipin-i-v Thanks for sharing, project you shared looks nice, since it's have full instructions are you planning to build one?
-
@salmanfaris well im planning to start after i get almost all of the supplies but i do not have full list ...I'll be doing it as soon as possible..
-
@vipin-i-v Great, Please let us know the updates, excited to see in action.
-
@salmanfaris well i don't know where to start...
-
@vipin-i-v What about following the tutorial you mentioned?

@zainmuhammed Can try capturing the GPS when the device is starting the loop instead after joining the LoRaWAN and see?
You can put the GPS value on top of the loop or setup function.
Also, what kind of gateway are you using? Is it configured okay, OTA is done?

@salmanfaris Today I tried after connecting a 18650 cell,
Data getting in console after integration of both lora and gps.
here you can see that GPS value is 0,0. also in my previous post you can see that GPS value is not reading.
Also the status LED is active after it is connected to the satellite. -
Hi @zainmuhammed ,
Can you share the GPS and LoRa output when it’s working?
Also can try capturing the GPS when the device is starting the loop instead after joining the LoRaWAN and see?
Also make sure the device provides have enough to modules. The GPS need more power when you cold start.
