I had a dream last night. I met Willy Messerschmitt and he told me, that I need to modify my pedals and upgrade them with load cells to make the brakes force sensitive:)
First I thought about buying some off the shelf solution which are widely available as racing pedal mods. But the only one which looks good enough for me is the one from TSS, but it is not available yet and the release date is very unclear.
Also If I buy one then where is the fun?
To make a load cell brake, I need the followings:
- Load cell (will try with a 200N)
- Load cell amplifier (from leo bodnar)
- Load transfer element (elastomer)
- Pedal returning spring (gas, steel, whatever)
- Housing, guiding, mounting hardware.
I searched a bit after load cells on the internet, but the only place where I found some below 100USD was the aliexpress.
Does anyone have a good source? 200N, button type, excitation voltage 5V or above.
