}}{{SimucubeManualNav|width=22em|notoc=1}}[[File:Simucube chart.png|thumb|Simplified chart of a SimuCUBE FFB simulator setup.|400px]]SimuCUBE is a complete simulator force feedback controller for single motorized actuator such as a steering wheel or a force feedback lever. Typical SimuCUBE applications include vehicle and equipment simulators.
+
  
SimuCUBE is is a modular device where motor is being controlled by an [[IONI Servo & Stepper Drive]] (sold separately) and torque [[Setpoint]] generation is being done by on-board dedicated 32 bit ARM microcontroller.
+
SimuCUBE is a state-of-the-art direct drive force feedback controller. Essentially a motherboard for an [[IONI]] servo drive, the SimuCUBE offers easiest solution and the best price-quality ratio for simulator professionals and enthusiasts.

==How SimuCUBE helps simulator builds==
+
{{warning|This section is unfinished. Don't use until this notice is removed.}}
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:
+
* Modular design: SimuCUBE is a motherboard with force feedback controller where [[IONI Servo & Stepper Drive]] plugs in as a motor driver
+
* Drive motors up to 30 Nm torque
+
* High fidelity feedback achieved by real-time force effect generation on hardware
+
* Eased installation
+
** Single 20 - 49 V DC supply (switching and linear power supply compatible)
+
** Direct USB connectivity (USB HID game controller device with Microsoft DirectInput compatibility)
+
** Connect external pedals, buttons and levers to the four on-board RJ45 connectors
+
* Modern acrylic enclosures for SimuCUBE are readily available
+
* Allow customer specific extensions due to open source hardware and firmware
+
For further introduction, see [https://granitedevices.com/simucube-simulator-force-feedback-controller/ SimuCUBE product page].

==Features==
See [https://granitedevices.com/store/applications/simulators/simucube-force-feedback-controller-board.html SimuCUBE web store page] for the current stock status, pricing and ordering.
+
SimuCUBE has been designed around the [[IONI]] servo drive, and the features include:
 +
* Open Sim Wheel made easy
 +
* Elegant acrylic enclosures ready for 320 W and 480/720 W power supplies
 +
** Silent 480 W and 720 W (peak) PSU options
 +
* Connectors for buttons and analog-to-digital converters (for pedals and other analog controls)
 +
* Up to 25 A continuous current with IONI Pro HC
 +
* On-board [[regenerative resistor|regenerative braking resistor]]
 +
* On board ARM processor will run the FFB firmware of user choice

 +
==The Core - IONI==
 +
IONI is a digital motor drive designed for driving AC/BLDC and DC servo motors and steppers.
 +
 
 +
For detailed information, plese refer to following pages:
 +
:* [[IONI Servo & Stepper Drive]]
 +
:* [[IONI specifications]]
 +
:* [[IONI device model comparison]]
 +
 
 +
==Links and miscellaneous notes==
 +
If you are not using a ready configuration file for Granity, then please read servo tuning basics and torque tuning very carefully to get the idea how it's done. Every servo type requires specific parameters.
