+The main function SimuCUBE is to aid implementing [[Force feedback system (FFB)]] such as simulator steering wheel or other motorized actuator. SimuCUBE main contributions in this area are:
-* Open Sim Wheel made easy
+* Modular design: SimuCUBE is a motherboard with force feedback controller where [[IONI Servo & Stepper Drive]] plugs in as a motor driver
-* Elegant acrylic enclosures ready for 320 W and 480/720 W power supplies
+* Drive motors up to 30 Nm torque
-** Silent 480 W and 720 W (peak) PSU options
+* High fidelity feedback achieved by real-time force effect generation on hardware
-* Connectors for buttons and analog-to-digital converters (for pedals and other analog controls)
+* Eased installation
-* Up to 25 A continuous current with IONI Pro HC
+** Single 20-56 V DC supply (switching and linear power supply compatible)
-* On-board [[regenerative resistor|regenerative braking resistor]]
+** Direct USB connectivity (USB HID game controller device with Microsoft DirectInput compatibility)
-* On board ARM processor will run the FFB firmware of user choice
+** Connect external pedals, buttons and levers to the four on-board RJ45 connectors
+* Modern acrylic enclosures for SimuCUBE are readily available
-==The Core - IONI==
+* Allow customer specific extensions due to open source hardware and firmware
-IONI is a digital motor drive designed for driving AC/BLDC and DC servo motors and steppers.
