Analog Paddle for Sim Racing Wheel

thingiverse

Analog paddle for sim racing wheel (i.e. clutches or hand control throttle/brakes). Including STEP files for modification/derivatives. Unique design using 3 magnets rather than springs. Arm magnet and top magnet attract each other and bottom fixed magnet should repel the arm, creating increasing resistance as you pull toward the stop. This feels great and gives you very fine control over the input. I have mapped these to throttle/brakes for my kids (can't reach the hard mounted pedals) and they can drive great with them. Analog input tested with Leo Bodnar board and only has a very small amount of jitter, which isn't at all noticeable in game. The challenge is that the pot is only rotated 20 degrees, so finding a smaller angle pot could help here. I don't know how an arduino or other input device would work - if you try please let me know!
