Reduce torque #22

Great project! I built a steering wheel using a cordless drill. It seems to have worked out of the box which is great. This is my first project with FFB and am a bit lost so apologies for the N00B questions. Being a cordless drill it has finger amputating torque. Which would be the best setting to tone down the power?

Hi man, very nice build, tnx for sharing. Master control for overall ffb strenght is general gain slider, about 0.5 should be good starting point.Play with it first to find a good feel, then you can add a little bit of min torque slider to compensate for the ffb deadzone in low forces, about 4-5% should be enough. Once you set you encoder CPR and degrees of rotation you are good to go.

Great I found it. Here is a video of my project. Not an issue technically: https://youtu.be/vo7tVuBD-hI

Hackaday picked it up as well so that is cool.
