|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. | |IONI drive has feature called "power consumption limit" which allows using also undersized power supplies without causing errors.

|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). | |Recommended at least 15 Nm peak torque for direct drive wheel applications.

|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. | |SimuCUBE has two Mini USB ports, one for USB HID (force feedback interface) and one for [[Granity]] connection.
