@Amstudio what was the length of that spring? BTW great work..

@DDM0815

The length of the spring would be awesome. And maybe also (some pics with) measurements of the holes you have to drill to install the poti and the other 3d printed parts (i don't have a 3d printer). I'm sure i'll figure it out myself when i have the handbrake in my hands, but it would be a bit more easy if you could provide the data (as far as it is not to much work). Thanks =)

You are wrong cause it aint shit

Great tutorial, and I made one for myself using your video as my main guide. Can't thank you enough! But because I had a slightly longer potentiometer, and because I found that the value would wrap-around at the tiniest misalignment. So for example pulling the brake lever hard down to the bottom, sometimes resulted in actually applying 0-2% brake instead. So I made a small change to your code, added a "constrain" operation before the map operation, like this: pot = constrain(pot, *min pot value here*, *max pot value here*); Gave me more consistency and effectively dead zones at min and maximum, so the break is never slightly on or off when it shouldn't be. Thanks again for putting this video up here, you are a legend!

I just bought these parts. Noticed that the potentiometer I got didn't look exactly like the one in the video. The pins had different locations. For those of you that can't calibrate yours after building it. Make sure that "analog read" is connected to pin 2. If you switch the other two, 1 and 3. That will just make the pot work backwards. It's no 2 that reads the movement. Good luck.

To anyone who might be getting the "not declared in this scope" error, add "Joystick_ Joystick;" (without the quotes) just below the "#include " line.

THIS THING RIPS! I just finished mine off and let me tell you, it is amazing. I took me a little while to upload the Arduino files due to the fact my Library was in DOCUMENTS. If anyone else intends on making this, would highly recommend on plugging in the micro USB into the board and never touching it again. Fix the cable to the frame of the hand brake like in the video (zip tie or whatever) because I neglected to do this and ripped off the micro USB female jack on the board. Has anyone figured out a way to run this in multiple games other the Assetto Corsa and Dirt Rally? I tried to run it in Forza 7 and I am unable to invert the input from the HB and it is always on.

For people struggling with needing a "deadzone" this is how I got around that issue. void setup() {pinMode(A0, INPUT); Joystick.begin();} const int pinToButtonMap = A0; void loop() {int pot = analogRead(A0); pot = constrain(pot,117,1017); int mapped = map(pot,117,1017,0,255); // pot = constrain(pot,500,1023); {Joystick.setThrottle(mapped);}} The "pot= constrain(pot,117,1017) came from the minimum and maximum limits of my build. you'll need to find these by uploading a sketch that creates an output of these values in serial monitor. Once you find your minimum and maximum just change replace 117 and 1017. good luck!

you should sell them as a kit and option of pre-built ones. nice job

Works great, thanks
