Hello there. This is NISMOylan's brother (Stephen). Might know me as SiR_ITR on other forums. Im a big drifting and Nissan fan but currently drive a DC2 Teg R so said I there is no point in me joining up.
Would just like to share this video. Its a rough prototype of a project I may be doing for college. Only had a few hours to shoot and edit. But I would just like to get as much feedback on the idea and get as many new and crazy ideas as possible!
Thanks and enjoy.
University of Drift - YouTube
thats fuckin class :L
what exactly is the project?
and by any chance is that the ucd engineering building?
The idea is that you would pilot the RC car with a Playstation wheel and pedals while being fed the first person view of a camera mounted on the car. Potentially with synthetic engine sounds and SFX. Car would be made robotic and controlled via Wi-Fi instead of Radio controlled.
And no its the CSIS building in UL.
That seems a pretty cool project.
Wifi will limit the range a bit 50-100 meters? But suppose there isn't much of an alternative, 868MHz would give range but the data rate would probably be too low for the video feed and 3G would probably have too much latency.
A flying version I m sure you would have seen

em...... are you sure thats done with that g25 wheel? i've been into rc drifting for god knows how many years and i only ever seen one guy do what your trying to do,and it certainly wasnt with a 200 euro wheel. (unless you have money to burn)
but i'd love to see how you managed to do it. (genuine interest)
To me it looks like its been faked but prove me wrong.
heres the guy from Singapore Rc drift car steering wheel and pedal - YouTube
It has been faked man the wheel isnt connnected to anything its just edited to look like he's in control.Quote:

haha seen this on your page. haha its very good . has your bro done anything with the s15 yet?
Looks like a very interesting project to do!Best of luck with it!
@Rob-Long: I seriously doubt il be using a g25 or g27 unless I am given one. But in theory it wouldn't make it more difficult to use a g25, just not needed. I have hacked a ps1, ps2 and ps3 controller in a program call "pure data" and although they become more complex they could all be programmed for basic functions.
But as said this is just a prototype video to gauge the interest in the idea and see is there any scope for improvement before I commit myself to doing it. Thanks for input.
@Grange: Not much since you seen it last man, he hasn't had much time. So doubt it will be out this season.
moylan you and your nerd talk haha love ya
im subscribed to this, im big into rc drifting and id love to see this work...:)
Had to laugh at this , i know he's already said its a fake , but i looked at the video and was expecting a good fake like it might/might not be realQuote:

Made some progress over the week. A couple a days work has be up to this point. Logitech Wheel, steering RC car. - YouTubeQuote:

So about a week ago Logitech donated a wheel, changed to an old chassis with simple on/off motors, pulled out all the electronics and replaced them with my own. Wrote a program to control the steering and linked that to the program that hacked the wheel.
Joey: Is there any good forums out there to get advice on parts and chassis and stuff? Was on RCGroups and it didn't really interest me.
