A high school student builds the steering wheel of his dreams

High school student built her dream races wheel

Arduino Team — March 19th, 2024

Races "video Games" can be incredibly realistic these days, with each facet of THE cars physics And their interaction with THE asphalt program In. Those races Sims could provide A completely immersive experience — if THE player was not session on A motionless couch using A controller that doesn't look like A cars piloting wheel In THE the least. HAS rectify that issue, high school student Prashū Agnihotri built her dream races wheel.

Agnihotri addressed This project For A senior project In her Principles of Engineering class has Irvington High School. It is aim East has provide A more realistic interface For races Games And sims. He doesn't to have any of them force back abilities, but he will work with any of them PC game THANKS has THE Arduino that let's allow THE user easily relate controls. Those can even imitate keyboard And mouse contributions For Games that were not designed For to use with piloting wheels.

THE brain East A Arduino Leonard, which Agnihotri selected For It is Microchip ATmega32U4 microcontroller. That East configurable as A standard USB HIDDEN, SO any of them computer will recognize It is contributions without any of them special Drivers Or software. THE piloting wheel And electronic pregnant were 3D printed In Exactly THE shape Agnihotri research. A M8 threaded TREE actions as THE piloting column. A potentiometer provides piloting corner to input, while limit switches detect When THE player presses THE paddle gear levers. THE Arduino bed those contributions, SO send out THE corresponding joystick, keyboard, Or mouse orders via USB.

We to have has assume that Agnihotri successful This assignment, And NOW he has A awesome piloting wheel has race with.
