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
24 to 48 VDC power supply, recommended 300 W minimum 1
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
  • MMos firmware (community sourced)
  • SimuCUBE open source firmware (work in progress, not usable yet)
Until SimuCUBE official open source firmware is ready, it's recommended to use MMos firmware available from various internet sites/forums.
