TrevorMcNeill Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) Realized I never posted here about this but a few months back I spent about 5 days designing my FFB pedals I'll be building at some point. They are based off the UH-60s pedals and will use the FFBeast firmware to run it. This is the first model I've actually put time into learning F360 for. What do yall think?(need validation in my life lmao) Will use gas struts and linear transducers for brake force and readings and the trim hold will be released when both pedal switches(the shiny plates on the front of the pedals) are depressed. Other than that it's just the hoverboard motor driving the FFB. Edited April 5 by TrevorMcNeill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxer Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 That is a crazy amount of work to get done in only 5 days! Did you sleep? One design comment, the choice of rail driven pedals is likely to result in relatively high friction / stiction. High grade bearings would alleviate this but in my experience flight sim kit gets covered in dust and grime over months of use and I'd imagine the rails to get some of this. Hopefully constructive. This looks amazing. I am looking forwards to a FF stick and once I've experienced that I'll probably be looking for FF pedals too. I'd love a way to convert my Slaw pedals.

I have pedals that use rails with linear bearing skates and have been using them for several years. No problems whatever with sticktion due to dust, etc - linear bearing skates have wipers built in. If I disengage the springs I can make them run end to end with a tap of a finger. If this was a problem they wouldn't be ubiquitous in machine tools.
