Overall current status

Developing the UML diagram of the whole system

PCBs

status_pedals

status_shifter

status_steering_wheel

Firmware

Working on the development of the UML diagram for the pedals firmware

Software

Needed the improvement of compilation and flags for the user interface

The stages include:

  • PCB Design
  • Firmware
  • Driver (Kernel module if necessary)
  • Configuration and calibration through a graphical user interface (GTK-3)
  • Design of mechanisms for pedals, gear lever, and wheel
  • Power PCB design for feedback motor control (FFB)

4

The PCB quality is excellent, the contact with the support service is good, they responded very quickly in the case of any issue, and it has a good PCB finish using the STM assembly service, all the IC pads are correctly soldered. Overall, the total cost of 5 PCBs and 2 PCBs with the assembly service is a very accessible, so I will keep using PCBWAY to build the next PCB iterations

Programming Frameworks and Tools

  • Espressif (ESP-IDF)
  • STM32CubeIDE
  • STM32CubeProgrammer

User Interface

The interface is developed with the GTK 3 framework, which will allow configurations such as:

  • Visualization of data graphically and textually (console)
  • Transmission type (Manual, Automatic, Sequential, custom) Natively
  • Pedal limits, sensitivity
  • Pedal type
    • Analog input (Potentiometer, Hall effect, and load cell)
    • SPI, I2C input (Custom sensor)
  • Firmware update

How to compile the project

  1. Install all the dependencies
sudo apt install cmake make gcc pkgconf libevdev-dev libgtk-3-dev libgtk-3-0 libgtest-dev g++
  1. Run the script to check if all the dependencies was successfully installed
./Source_code/checking_dependency.sh
  1. Execute the Makefile to build the graphic interface and the unit tests
make -C Source_code/
