Context
Our virtual environment (e.g. a game) isn’t user friendly to steer the vehicle around in the field. Only a stupid slider on a windows application is not very handy. A real steering wheel that is connected to the virtual simulation environment will bring this system to a next level in user experience. The easier to use this, the more people will make use of it.
Objectives
Create a device based on a real steering wheel that can provide steering inputs to the virtual environment:
- A reel steer can rotate multiple times
- A CAN device can be used to control the edges of rotation
- Overruling active guidance control should happen
- CAN communication to be used to connect to simulators
