Sim Racing Handbrake – Load Cell

This project is a remix of the mentioned potentiometer-based sim racing handbrake, upgraded to use a load cell for force-based measurement instead of position-based input.The result is a much more realistic handbrake feel, similar to real hydraulic handbrakes used in motorsport.Compatible with Arduino Uno using UnoJoyAdjustable stiffness depending on spring and preloadUses mostly 3D-printed partsHardware used:Load cell (typically 10–50 kg (https://www.sparkfun.com/load-cell-10kg-straight-bar-tal220.html#content-features))HX711 load cell amplifierSprings (user preference)2xM4x18 bolts6xM5x18 bolts + 4xM5 nut3xM5x70 bolts + 3xM5 nut3xM8x30 bolts + 3xM8 nutM8x70 bolt + M8 nutArduino with USB cableFirmware:Arduino Uno flashed with UnoJoy (see unojoy instructions: https://github.com/AlanChatham/UnoJoy)Calibration:Windows Game Controller settingsIn-game control settingsTested with Assetto CorsaDisclaimer:This is a DIY project.
