Simplified chart of a SimuCUBE FFB simulator setup.
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.

How SimuCUBE helps simulator builds[edit | edit source]

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 SimuCUBE product page.
