I just finished building a wheel and pedal system. I'm using 100K
taper pots as per..http://www.racesimcentral.net/
The problem I have now is which the steering, When I calibrate the
steering in GPL, I can turn the wheel to the left and the triangle
thingy goes to the left, I turn the wheel to the right and that triangle
thingy goes to the right. Then I place the wheel at center and the
triangle thingy goes all the way to the left. If I turn the pot only,
so that the triangle is in the center, I can only turn the wheel 25*
before the pot is at full right lock. Turning the wheel left and the
pot goes all the way till the wheel is at lock. If you get what I'm
saying..
Now, While racing, I can turn the wheel from left wheel lock to right
pot lock. while I'm turning the wheel The Virtual wheel turns almost
twice as fast. And that's after changing the ratio to 20:1 and the
sensitivity set all the way to the right and/or left. Another wards,
the steering is very touchy with just the slightest movement. To make
things worse, turning the wheel to the right is almost twice as fast as
turning it to the left at the same speed. (I don't know how else to
explain it)
So, My question is.. Why do I have to use tapered pots? and.. why do
I have to use 100K pots?
