No, it isn’t.
These pedals works only with SimCube V2..... so it’s related.

Well, that's stupid.

So the SC2 has an accessory port for 3rd party products. Interesting in that it opens up a new standard vs. being closed to 3rd parties.

A whole new ecosystem. Cool.

What I'm curious about it whether this opens up additional integration. For example Heusinkveld has very flexible software for the Sprint Pedals that allows you to map different curves for different cars or conditions. I'm not sure how many people take advantage of this.

However if you are already setting your SC2 preferences for a specific title or specific car and title and pedal mapping came along for the ride, I think more people might take advantage of that feature.

So there's an Adapter for said Accessory port ?

Well, that's stupid.

Well, that's stupid.

?!

Yeah. Had a go at tracking down a 10k at the start of the year. . But wasn't sure if it would be better just to upgrade to simucube 1 and a sincos instead ...

Sincos really makes a difference. Going from 5, 10 or even 20k to a whopping 2 million makes difference.

MMos is limited to 10k. You need to be on SimuCube board and SW for SinCos.

What is the SC2's encoder by comparison?

What is the SC2's encoder by comparison?

Encoder Resolution 22Bit (4,194.304 CPR)

What is the SC2's encoder by comparison?

If I interpret angle sensor spec right, it's 22bit for Sport and Pro and 24 ultimate.
4,194,304‬ and 16,777,216‬.

Well, I won't complain about overkill, but doesn't this seem a bit past bragging rights.

One of the guys I encouraged to create a 3D printed SimuCube 2 wheel mount did and shared it here.

Here is how his solution looks. So any of you with 3D printers can download this and make your own

I did print 3 of them yesterday and they are awsome

DId not know that, luckely i'm on a simucube.

Granite Designs sells their wireless PCBs (for steering wheels) to qualified 3rd parties, and allows those to sell them on to DIYers too (after inquiries from the community) - but offers no additional support for private constructions.
I don't think they have yet publicly given out info and data on that accessory port yet.

I was curious where you guys were mounting your emergency stop buttons. I'm not sure if this will be my finally mount point, but it appears I can easily press the button with my leg, but not so easily that I would do so accidentally.
(My wheel ships tomorrow!!!)

 

[EsxPaul]

I've mounted my e-stop on the pedal deck upright so it's pretty close to the clutch pedal. Luckily, I've not had a reason to kick it in anger yet

 

[RobertR1]

Mine is somewhere on the ground out of reach.

 

[RCHeliguy]

There are obviously many ways to skin this cat. I've seen some that are mounted horizontally where someone could smack it with their hand. So we have leg, foot, hand triggering and just keep it away from me don't ever want to trigger it.

@RobertR1 I don't think keeping it out of reach with the SC2 is going to work for me given the beeping. Are you running another dd wheel or do you have an SC2 series right now?

 

[RobertR1]

I got an OSW/SC1. No such beeping to deal with. I hope they allow people to disable that.

 

[EsxPaul]

I must be a rare case in that the SC2 beep doesn't bother me in the slightest. Its a short, quiet (to my old ears) beep every 4 minutes and barely noticeable for me.

It also serves to remind me to disable high torque mode and power the base off before shutting down the pc. At present this is good practice as if the SC2 is powered up before starting the pc, the servo isn't recognised and causes True Drive to hang.
