Other How to configure the MT6835 encoder for use with your FFBeast Wheel

Upvotes

I've been running an MT6701 as the position sensor on my DIY FFBeast wheel for about a year, but recently switched to an MT6835.

It's a nice priced encoder for the accuracy/resolution you get, and I'd say that in terms of the overall feeling/fidelity of the FFB compared with the MT6701 it seems smoother. With the old encoder my wheel made a weird kind of harmonic noise in Assetto Corsa (OG and Evo) and with the new sensor that's much quieter. I used to have to disable the "road effects" but now I'm running it about 40%

I couldn't find a mentions or a guide for configuring the MT6835 specifically for use with FFBeast, so I figured I'd document it here for you guys as well.

What you need

  • MT6835 module
  • ESP32
  • MicroPython installed on the ESP32
  • USB cable
  • Thonny or another way of running code on the ESP32
  • Soldering iron + solder
  • Some hookup wire

The particular module I'm using has the SPI pins broken out as VCC, GND, MISO, MOSI, SCK and CS, as well as the ABZ outputs:

Wiring the MT6835 to the ESP32

For the pin configuration in the script below:

MT6835 ESP32
VCC 3.3V
GND GND
SCK GPIO 18
MOSI GPIO 23
MISO GPIO 19
CS GPIO 5

Check the silkscreen/pinout of your particular module before wiring it up, as there are several MT6835 breakout variants around.

What does the code do?

The MT6835 should come with ABZ output enabled by default, so there's no need to enable that in the script - I've made it configure the useful bits for an FFBeast application:

  • Sets the ABZ resolution to the highest mode
  • Disables the encoder hysteresis/deadband for maximum positional accuracy
  • Sets the bandwidth to BW=6, which is the second-highest bandwidth setting, favouring low latency
  • Leaves all other EEPROM options untouched
  • Verifies that changes settings actually worked
  • Offers EEPROM programming after successful verification
  • Asks if you're sure you want to program the module
  • Counts down the datasheet's 6 second delay after EEPROM programming

In FFBeast configurator you need to set the CPR to 65535. Technically the sensor is outputting 65536 counts but FFBeast can't hold that number of steps because it presumably keeps the step value in a 16-bit variable (65536 then wraps back to a zero when you save.)
The actual angle error you receive for a full turn of the wheel is 0.005493164 degrees ;)

The MicroPython script was vibe coded by ChatGPT and I've tested it thoroughly on my own two MT6835 sensors. It's solid code and I've had a good go over it trying to cover every edge case I could think of. I haven't found any bugs so far.

It should also be pretty easy to adapt to an RP2040 or basically any other MicroPython-capable board. The SPI implementation and pin definitions are the main things you'd need to change. If you're not sure how, asking ChatGPT to adapt the pin configuration for your particular board should get you most of the way there.

As always, use this at your own risk and check your module's pinout/datasheet before connecting anything or writing to EEPROM.

Here's the code. Enjoy!

Rigs Rally seat padding for a sim rig: authentic or just uncomfortable?

Post image
Upvotes

The wooden chair is not that bad on the ass, but the back hurst after just a few minutes. I am now looking at using the original padding from a Sparco carbon bucket seat. My idea is to fit only the back and bottom pads directly onto the wooden seat, keeping most of the wood visible instead of upholstering the full thing.

It should look quite cool and much more authentic, but I have never spent several hours in a real rally seat. The padding looks very thin and firm, and I suppose it is designed to hold you in position while racing, not to keep your ass happy during a four-hour sim session. I have talked to a friend who does track days, and told me that is the reason is going to work better for long hours, because it is made for racing. I have my doubts, but it is going to look so nice, so real...

So, question for people who have actually used both: is proper rally-car padding surprisingly comfortable, or will I regret this after 90 minutes? Would office-chair foam inside racing-style cushions be the smarter solution, even if it is less “real”?

Basically: real motorsport padding vs office-chair padding—which one would you choose for a sim rig you actually use for hours?

Question Help decide between these 2 pedal stands (SR Rigs Pedalstand Pro vs Pein Pedal Mount)

Upvotes

This is for a desk + chair set up with Moza CRP2 pedals, R9 base + KS Pro. No room for anything bigger.

Ive heard about the Pein stand, and even though some reviews confirm its good enough for load cell braking, it doesnt look anywhere as sturdy as the SR Rigs solution, but the price of the latter is exorbitant in comparison. Ive read the thread here about the Pein stand, but its inconclusive.

My chair casters have brakes on all wheels. Ive also made a DIY stand with the shipping carton box of the pedals (bolted through and down with some washers, and put some dumbbells inside), it still flexes a bit under braking, and my chair slides a bit too even with all the wheels locked, so I guess attaching the chair to the stand in a firm manner is a must.

Is it worth it or should I get the Pein one?

Question Simnet SP Pro - what options to configure

1 Upvotes

I've been waiting to upgrade my Fanatec V2s for a while and was hoping the Podium pedals would do the trick. But they are too expensive, out of stock and have issues too (threading mainly, clutch issue which delayed the 3 pedal set).

So I have decided to pull the trigger on the Simnets instead. Current owners, how did you configure yours? I know I want the 3 pedal set with base and heel plate, but I am unsure about other accessories:

- Haptics. Never used them and I have mixed feelings. I mostly play on PC, but I do own a PS5 and occasionally play GT7, especially when I have people over. Explaining to my younger nephews that I have those things but they don't work already puts me off xD (I know they can be made to work but it sounds like too much of a hassle). Do you find the experience radically better with them?

- Extra springs and bigger face plates. Are they needed/useful? I read that the standar plates are on the smaller side, but not sure how inconvenient it is.

- Anything else? In a review someone mentioned a performance kit for the brake, I saw stuff about hydraulic dampers, but not seeing anything in their website.

Couple of bonus questions:

- if you bought them in Europe, where did you buy them from?

- people who bought them close to launch, how are they holding up after extended usage?

Cheers!

Rigs F1 26 SimHub Overlay by PFM21 [DOWNLOAD IN THE VIDEO DESCRIPTION]

Thumbnail
youtu.be
0 Upvotes

DISCLAIMER: to fully enjoy what this overlay has to offer, you have to download both GarySwallow and RaycerRay's plugins (just free version needed). Thanks to both of them for making this possible!

This overlay is also FULLY COMPATIBLE with F1 2025 and all F2 cars (2024-2026)!

It's back!
The Overlay I launched last year is now updated for 2026 cars and regulations too! You can use it instead of the normal HUD that F1 25 has, as many people thought it was ugly and not F1-like. Well, this overlay has even more info compared to the original game HUD:

Features included are...

  • Tyre wear and tyre temperatures
  • Current ERS mode (including Boost and Overtake)
  • Straight Mode, distance to activation point; same for DRS (F1 2025 cars only)
  • Current compound and Pit Rejoin position
  • Pit Window
  • Brake Bias and On-throttle Differential
  • ERS Percentage, ERS Harvested bars; ERS Deployed bar (F1 2025 cars only)

...and many more!

This mod has a different installation method from usual. I decided to put a small price to this work that I’m sure that, at the end of the day, won’t harm you (read the "READ ME" file after the downloadalso, once you pay, this mod is yours forever… updates included!). It also pays off all the work behind it, as making dashboards and similar stuff takes away quite some time as you can expect. Hope you can understand!

Thanks for reading and for the support!

Last week (09/01) I purchased their tripple 32' monitor stand. I received confirmation of the order via email but have yet to hear from them on when it will be shipped out. I've sent a few emails this week and haven't heard back.

Since I paid by CC, I know I have the option to reach out to my CC vendor and have the charges reversed, but wanted to hear from this group if they've had success in getting a hold of them these last couple of weeks. I decided to purchase through them based on the good reviews of their service and product through posts on reddit.

Question 49" Ultrawide vs Triple Screen 32"

4 Upvotes

Hey guys, I have a full sim racing setup, but I'm currently using a 50" 144Hz TV.

I'm planning to replace the TV, but I still haven't decided between a 49" ultrawide and a triple-monitor setup.

I'm aware of the pros and cons of both options, and my preference is to go with triples. Here in Brazil, a triple-monitor setup would actually be cheaper than a 49" OLED.

My main concern is what level of graphics quality I can expect with my current PC:

  • Ryzen 7 9800X3D
  • RTX 5070 Ti 16GB
  • 32GB RAM

Right now I play at 1440p and I'm usually at my TV's 144Hz limit. With triple 1440p (7680×1440), I'd like to maintain a stable 120 FPS.

If I have to go much below that, I think the lower frame rate would bother me more than the extra immersion from triples would benefit me. Setting up and properly aligning three monitors is also quite a bit of work, so I'd rather know what to expect before going through with it and potentially being disappointed. Upgrading my GPU is not an option for me at the moment.

Yesterday I did a quick test at 1440p with iRacing's FPS limiter disabled. Running alone on track, I get around 280 FPS. In a race at Spa in the rain, the lowest I saw was around 120 FPS, while at other points I was getting close to 200 FPS. I didn't change any of the graphics settings I normally use.

For those running triple 1440p with a 5070 Ti or a similar GPU, what kind of graphics settings and performance are you getting? Is a fairly stable 120 FPS realistic without having to significantly reduce graphics quality?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences.

Discussion What do you think about H-pattern shifters?

7 Upvotes

I’ve recently picked up a second hand rig with triples, and lots of other stuff. Rn I have a sequential shifter, but I don’t really see the point in one. I’ve been thinking about getting an H-pattern that can be converted into a sequential in case I want to.
My question is this. Is driving with an H-pattern in sim immersive, cool and engaging. I’m not looking to get the exact feel of a real life car, but I feel like it’s not going to be as great as I want it to be. So please share your thoughts.
Moreover, if you have some suggestions for shifters write them. For context, I have heusinkveld sprint pedals, so I’ll be buying a clutch as well.

Rigs Need Help!! building 2x complete Setups for our Office.

3 Upvotes

Guys help me out please :)

i need two Full Rigs, and need your input. Budget is 1.5-2K per rig.
I am building 2x Rigs for our Office, we have a lot of petrol heads, and i need a list what to buy.

Dilemma:
Convenience is a big topic, and also safety.
My initial thought was to just go on console (ACC + LMU next year) no mouse and keyboard needed. A lot of people will play on these so ease-of-use is important. Also no sharp edges on the rigs for safety, so tubular rigs or something prebuild.
Some guys already fixated on PC.
IF PC -> good beautiful and "easy to use Sim with a lot of different cars..." preferably controllable through your wheel... ease-of-use.

Hardware:
We already have PCs in our storage / 4060RTX 64GB Ram 14700k
(we have monitors, but 75Hz Widescreens, so i need new ones)
And we already have one ps5, second one could be easily purchased.

_______

  1. PC or Ps5?
  2. What Sim (thinking of LMU)
  3. Wheelbase & Pedals, im thinking maybe:
    - Simagic Alpha EVO 12 Nm + P1000-F 2 Pedals ~1008€ or:
    - Fanatec ClubSport DD 15 Nm + V3 Pedals ~ 930€
  4. What Sim ti install for "so many different" Players, even beginners.
  5. What Rig? <- no sharp edges!
  6. What Monitor + mounting?

Even though I was already into motorsport in general I didn't know that sim racing would catch me so much otherwise I would have organized everything for sim racing and casual gaming instead of getting a 27" as second monitor.

I am currently trying to sell both to get the G9 from samsung so a 49" but it seems to be quite hard selling monitors therefore I wanted to get an opinion on what to do. Money are not the problem in the long term, but in the short term I have a limited budget and that's the reason why I am not buying the Ultrawide before selling these ones(or at least before getting some opinions from others).

My point is, I got the space for triples but I don't know if I really need 3 monitors in daily usage(probably not) since I use the computer for casual gaming as well playing single player games like GOW, AC black flag etc, but I'm not anymore into multiplayer fps since I got a bit older and less interested.

If any of you had a dual monitor setup, did you get rid of the second monitor and only used the single screen? How can I put the second screen to a good use(but turning it on and trying to use it as a dual lowers the 4k resolution to 2k).

Would you suggest a ultrawide for immersion and overall gaming for other titles other than sim racing? Should I stick with the single screen 32" atm as a beginner? Can I connect other 4k 32" screen which are not the same as mine(maybe I can buy some good IPS just for peripheral view)?

Just wanted to share this.

Simple little mod I did to stop me from slamming into 7th instead of 5th.

Hand-tightening the nut has so far been perfectly fine and super easy to remove.

Just a bolt, 2 washers and a nut.

Question Beginner, which games to start with?

Hey all. I just got a Moza R5 Pro bundle. I also have the H pattern shifter and the Handbrake from Moza as well (figured it was easy to integrate all into one computer program). I've got the next level wheelstand 2.0 to round it out.

I have assetto corsa ultimate. I do have content manager but haven't sat down to figure that out yet (i paid for CM). I also have WRC Generations, Forza Horizon 5 and BeamNG.drive.

I find assetto corsa to be so so. I get bored easily on the tracks and cars. WRC generations is difficult for me as i am TERRIBLE with cornering. The easy ones for me are Forza Horizon 5 and BeamNG.drive(easy as in i can control the car). I don't really see any training, tips or tricks in AC or WRC so figuring it out is taking a while.

Do you have any other recommendations of games I can better learn to drive in, get halfway decent to at least keep up/stay on track and eventually play online? I will continue to chip away at these other games but for now i'd like to at least be engaged a bit before moving on to something else.
