List of required items for wiring and usage of SimuCUBE as force feedback controller.
| Item | Quantity | Links / sources | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| SimuCUBE | 1 | https://granitedevices.com/store/applications/simulators.html | |
| IONI Pro or IONI Pro HC | 1 | https://granitedevices.com/store/applications/simulators.html | Decide drive model based on the required current to the motor. To compare IONI models, see IONI device model comparison. |
| 24 to 48 VDC power supply, recommended 300 W minimum | 1 | IONI drive has feature called "power consumption limit" which allows using also undersized power supplies without causing errors. However, if power consumption limit activates, then produced torque will be also reduced. | |
| Servo motor | 1 | Recommended at least 15 Nm peak torque for direct drive wheel applications. Check motor specifications the required current. IONI Pro HC can output 25 A (peak of sine) current, which equals 17.7 A RMS current (note that AC motor manufacturers typically give current rantings as RMS value). | |
| Mini USB cables (from USB A to USB Mini B) | 1-2 | SimuCUBE has two Mini USB ports, one for USB HID (force feedback interface) and one for Granity connection. One cable is sufficient but requires swapping cable between the ports during configuration step. Two cables are recommended. | |
| 15 pin (two row type) D-Sub male connector + connector hood (cover) | 1 | This is the mating connector for encoder port of SimuCUBE, get these unless your motor comes with SimuCUBE/IONI/Argon compatible pre-made encoder cable. | |
| Compatible firmware (software) | 1 |
|
Until SimuCUBE official open source firmware is ready, it's recommended to use MMos firmware available from various internet sites/forums. |
