Simhub

Everthing is practically done! The github is set up, the demo is linked. I just have to recieve the files. Although I did encounter a big bummer… Apparently I don’t get stardust from this.

blendering and whatnot

Trying to see how to improve the example image. But I’m also building the github, along with drafting the silkscreen

I’m trying to follow the guide, but improve on eveyrthing, like a better and more extensive readme and whatnot. As per the blender render, I’m taking feedback from my family to see what is too much and what to improve.

Blendering and Rendering

I imported my model into blender for rendering a nice photo so that people have a good idea what I’m making. Probably will re-render with some adjustments, along with turning on denoise and then adding some artificial ISO noise. But hopefully the first ship is coming by soon!

just working on refining things not much up

FreeCAD Slop

Adjusting to FreeCAD is difficult after fusion doesn’t work anymore. After long coercion I am able to create a rough sketch that I can develop further.

fingers crossed, I can hopefully finish this project nice and tidy!

Fusion Failed…
Fusion CAD software is genuinely terrible. Doesn’t work on my RTX 4080 even after multiple reinstalls. So I switched to FreeCAD. It is pretty different, but I am getting the hang of it.

I have completed a lot of the CAD work for this project, so we are getting there, to the point where we are done I guess…

Trying to fix FUSION. I have ZERO IDEA why fusion isn’t working, just a blank screen. Tried all fixes on the web, but to no avail. Anyone here please help

Completed all the routing of the PCB

I realized that routing is a very sketchy task, especially for someone as inexperienced in this field as me. Fortunately, I found a plugin that does the routing for you!

It is called “Autorouting”

Please check it out, its really a life-saver.

Now onto the CAD portion of this project.

Finished wiring the schematics.

I want to use 12 keys so that in the sim-racing game, I can set views, change traction control, brake balance, and all of the intricates.

I am also including one rotary encoder for things like volume control, so I can turn down the volume when my parents come by :)

Setting things up initially.

I don’t really know how kicad works, but that’s fine. I’ll learn.

The struggle right now, is importing everything. I belive I imported the libraries required, but I can’t find the symbols, which is wierd. Cheers!
