Cannon Simulation Technologies (CST) | Official Support Thread

[Bruce Saltzman]

RaceDepartment is proud to announce Cannon Simulation Technologies (CST) has found a new home in our forum. For any of you not aware, CST manufactures high-end pedal systems that are considered top-of-the-line in our industry. These pedals are used by many professional drivers as part of their sim racing systems, and also, because of their highly realistic feel, consider them an essential component of their simulation training and practice for real-world racing.

This forum will be moderated by CST's CEO and Chief Engineer, Todd Cannon.

Thanks Barry, that would be great

 

[Will Currington]

Sorry to burst your bubble Barry, but Todd hasn`t been on these forums in nearly a year.

I`m not even sure anybody can get hold of him through other means.

Your best bet is to aim your question at CST pedals users and hopefully you`ll get your answer

I've ordered a set for my Xmas present from the wife. He answered my emails almost immediately, I know he's getting a lot of interest in his F1 pedals and is getting swamped with emails but he does eventually answer them. Will post pics and my thoughts once I get them.

Dice.

 

[Evan Madore]

I really wanted to get my hands on a set of pedals from him. I was ready to dish out the cash for them, but I emailed him a few times with questions before I bought. He never once emailed me back. Needless to say he lost any business I was going to give him, or any recommendations I would have given out.

 

[Kris Vickers]

Understandable Evan.

I`m in the same boat in a way.

I want to purchase the DIY plans, but in the back of my mind i`m wondering if i`ll ever receive them after splashing the cash.

Shame really, as they are really great pedals (apparently)

i got the plans Kris sent to me after about 4 hours so no problems to getting them

Cst and Rfactor?

I have a set of diy cst and they work great with other games .
Is there a known issue with rfactor as the throttle is not recognised .
The brake is recognized though.
Thx for any suggestion about it.
Cheers Robert

 

[Brian Clancy]

What Input board are you using? Leo Bodnar Bu0836? or other and what type or potentiometer or hall effect on the throttle? rFactor should work fine if other games recognise it tbh!

 

[senneville]

Its the BU0836-LC

 

[Brian Clancy]

Thats what I have used in the past (not the LC version admitidly) with rFactor. Very strange. It works with simbin games?

 

[senneville]

I have the same issue with race 07,exact same as the brake works but no throttle.They do work with codemaster games .

 

[Brian Clancy]

Thats really, really strange! I'm looking into it for you, see what I can find out

 

[senneville]

Thanks Brian ,very kind of you.
I had a tough about changing the axis letters in di view but i dont know if possible and dont know if it would make any difference.

 

[Brian Clancy]

Its odd, I am still digging trying to find some info, will keep you posted, pretty sure we can fix this, but no promises lol

 

[Brian Clancy]

Hi, still no joy, am starting to think its the board, but it cant be as it works on other programs??????????????? Will keep looking into it for you, its bugging me now lol

 

[John Sydenstricker]

So it looks like Todd will respond to emails if you are sending money but not if you just have question!? Sounds like he's too busy.

 

[Todd Cannon]

Hello Brian, I am sorry it has taken me so long to get back with you. I have sent an email to you as well. My business is just growing so fast that it is becoming harder and harder to keep up with all aspects of it. I am receiving so many emails now that I sometimes have to just wait until the weekend and then spend hours answering them. And even then, I sometimes do not get to all of them. I am trying to get some help with this but most of the time, an email will require me to answer it directly.

To John: It is not a matter of me only responding to people who are sending me money. I have many people who I still owe a response to who are trying to place an order. I am now training someone to help me with the assembly part of my business. This should give me more time to try and keep up with emails.


To everyone: It is definitely hard for me to have the time to keep up with the forums. I am hoping that this changes soon. I am having issues with my website. It still takes orders but I am having problems updating it. It looks like I will have to start over with it so that will also take some time. Thanks to all for your patience. Being a one man business can be too much at times. Thanks, Todd - CST

:welcome: back Todd!

 

[Evan Madore]

Glad you got my email Todd.

 

[John Sydenstricker]

Awesome to see you here again Todd. I'm saving my money for your pedals to help keep you busy.

Hello Robert, make sure that you calibrate your pedals with DIView before assigning your pedals in rFactor. You should have no problem using your pedals in rFactor. Thanks, Todd
