Radder Pedal


With the joystick, the rudder was controlled by twisting the Z-axis, but since the joystick was changed to a yoke, it became necessary to operate the rudder. I made this rudder pedal by wood.
radder link I used a crank mechanism to convert the movement of the pedal back and forth into the rotation of the volume.
At first, I thought that the center and fulcrum of the rudder pedal rotation would need to be fixed. However, I found that it was possible to use it on the floor without fixing it by making the center of the crossbar slightly bulging and attaching a non-slip corduroy fabric to the fulcrum position.
The wiring from the variable resistor is connected to the analog input of the Arduino.
Controlling the direction of travel with your feet is a new experience for me, as it is not something I experience in everyday life such as driving a car, so I am a little confused.
I was thinking of tackling the brakes at some point. (Made in February 2021)
After that, I got a ready-made product, so I disassembled this wooden rudder pedal without using it any more. I will leave it here as a production record.
