Sim throttle pedal hanger Tabs & Brackets

Hello Mathew, I have not ordered the load cell yet, but I am working on a mounting bracket that will place the load cell vertically along the back of the mounting bracket. It would be just as easy to change the rear bracket that is on this hanger (with the roughly 5/8 hole for a bushing) to accommodate a load cell. There are plenty of channels on Youtube that describe the implementation of a load cell on a set up similar to this one. The cell can be purchased on Amazon or Ebay along with the amplifier and then you would need an arduino to connect that set up to the computer. As far as resistance I have not yet decided whether I will be going with bump stop rubbers or springs. That decision will be made when I get the load cell on. (please keep in mind that I am physically impaired to a degree and will be building mine much more stout that most. My set up may not work for you. Sim pedals are a "feel" thing for most racers.) All of the additional mounting holes in the hangers can be used for bracketry to put whatever forms of resistance or electronics in them as you would see fit. I will continue to upload the brackets and will include the finished pieces when I get the time to actually build them, but I thought that I would put these pieces up here for those who would like to get ahead of me and do their own thing. As for the throttle side you could put anything from a simple pot style potentiometer like a Logitech G-series pedal on up to another load cell or slide potentiometer or even a hall effect sensor. There are many options. This is why there are 2 pedal stops on this bracket. Add some bracketry at the rear for your electronics and a triangulated bracket in the center for a spring stop and you would have a working throttle. I added multiple holes in the center so that you can adjust bracketry forward and reverse for some spring load adjustment. Again you will need the electronics, ardiuno and what not to drive it to the computer, but the throttle side should be relatively easy to sort out. I am leaning towards a 100kg load cell for the brake and an automotive throttle position sensor (basically a simple potentiometer - but cheap, compact, and fairly readily available for little money) for the throttle side. I will have to drill a new hole in the brake arm to lower the pressure multiplier for that load cell, but that was a simple silly mistake on my part. Once I get all of the files finished I will upload the whole deal the way I built them and it should be completely ready to go if you use the same electronics that I do. They will be a separate file however because I am trying to make these fairly universal for whatever anyone wishes to use them for. These are ready to be "manipulated" to your desire. Thanks for the compliment and good luck with your set up should you decide to make them. I am hoping that these will help folks make their own stuff and get out there racing. I will continue to upload as I get the time to work on this thing. Time is at a premium at the moment unfortunately.

Hey Mathew, check out leobodnar.com for the electronic side of the controls. They sell everything that you might want to make it happen.
