SRT Gearbox: November update!

That's it, I moved! Well for the moment it's the construction site... I thought the workshop would be operational quickly, I realize that it's quite the opposite! So in the meantime I received permission from my wife to spread out a little everywhere in the house, developments are resuming. What a pleasure to bring together again under the same roof the simulator, the machines and the CAD workstation!!!

However, I "lost" a lot of time, and I propose for this November update half of what...

SRT Gearbox : October Update !

The first gearboxes are assembled, and the first feedback is very positive. However, you have reported some problems that this update fixes.

1. New slider

The biggest problem encountered concerns the tracks: they ultimately do not stay in place in the slider… the tolerances being too variable from one printer to another, the current solution cannot be retained.

Many of you have requested the return of a retaining screw. This solution does not really delight me for s...

UPDATE: The 3D files have been updated on the site:

- added files for the button plate mod
- body2 and servo support fix for the RHD mod
- added RHD logo on the parts for the RHD mod
- added a mount for the handbrake mod on body1
- added the mounting plate for the handbrake mod
- added the complete step files for creators

On the I&C side, the first kits have been shipped: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DF1o5VH
On our side, we start...

The V10 is alive !!!

I really hope that you will like the new improvements.

Just few of them :

• Auto-calibrating eclutch

• Single magnet design

• Integrated hall sensors

The V10: when?

Bad news: I'm off on vacation soon... yes, how awful... Well, we'll console ourselves by remembering that the V9 was designed while I was on vacation, proof that it's not a sandy beach that's likely to put the brakes on developments.

Here's where we stand:

1) All the principles have been validated for some time. The gearbox is reliable, and adjustments are made at the margins to optimize assembly and printing.

2) I've already started shooting the assembly videos. Compared...

SRT Gearbox V9 : it's OVER.

HSS mod canceled

Further to the previous survey, I hereby announce the cancellation of the HSS mod. The documentation will soon disappear from the site.

Please contact me on Etsy to request a refund for the V1 HSS PCB.

I'm taking this opportunity to destock the new PCBs that will no longer be used:

Should the HSS mod be cancelled?

As you're probably aware, the HSS mod was quickly found to have a fault when it was released over two months ago: the gears don't shift fast enough, if at all.

So for over two months now, I've been multiplying prototypes to remedy the problem. As my tests have progressed, I've gained a better understanding of the problem, and I've come to the following conclusions:

1) the magnet's detection zone is very large, even with a small magnet.

2) although the detection zone is la...

New firmware for the Smart Control Box on the P1 harness tensioner!

The new code is derived from the GForce:

•  Faster execution times for a more accurate experience

•  Improved communication with Simhub

• More complete status messages

• Stand-alone code: can be loaded with any Arduino IDE

    Please note that the code to be entered in “custom protocol” is different.

    As usual, the code is available on the website :

MOD HSS: news from the front line

Time passes at a frightening speed. One day, you launch a mod and a piece of shit appears. We tell ourselves it's just a question of adjustment.

And two months later, it's still not fixed. I received the latest version of the PCB two weeks ago. I must have tested a dozen sliders with various magnet configurations.

It's better, but still not perfect.

So here it is, for those who are wondering: I'm going to order a new PCB with hall sensors a bit further away, hoping it'll ...

RC 13 firmware for the SRT gearbox: the code of maturity

Maturity! A big word indeed!

The V9.1 gearbox is getting old. The community has grown, and so have I. I've been able to observe which mods were used, which were usable, which were unusable.

When I recently reworked the code to make it lighter, I became aware of a few things:

1) Some mods are too complex to be used, like the pedal mod with ADS1105...

2) Some parts of the code are no longer of interest, like the SmartSequential mod I developed for PCars2.

3) The ar...

SRT80 V2

V2 ? Let's calm down right away: it's mainly additional files:

• addition of two motor mounts with integrated fixed bearing

• addition of a linear bearing mount with "compact" easy mount

• addition of an updated slider for raw aluminum profiles delivered a few months ago.

End of HSS V1.0

Ok, so I've worked hard those last days trying to fix the issue mentioned earlier. At this point, it seems clear to me that the magnet should be as close as possible to the sensor, and as small as possible.

I took it as an opportunity to work again on the sequential behavior that deserves a better treatment, and those tests helped me to understand what we need to do to make it great.

It meant to upgrade the design of the carriage, the slider, and the sequential track. So please tr...

Mod HSS

I did many tests with 8mm and 6mm magnets but it wasn't conclusive.

I'll get 4mm magnets this week-end, I hope that it will fix things.

Houston we have a problem

It seems that I've sunned by overconfidence. As highlighted by FredyP on Discord (whom I thank), when shifting gears quickly, the HSS mod doesn't respond fast enough.

I've been looking into the problem since Saturday and hope to come up with a solution as quickly as possible. By modifying the code to gain speed, and adjusting the position of the magnet in relation to the PCB, we should be able to fix the problem.

I'll post a message here when the problem is solved. If the problem ...

Minor fix

The wiring solution was missing on body2. It's fixed now for both LHD and RHD versions :

https://lebois-racing.com/exclusive-files-for-pro-and-elite-patreons/

RHD mod now compatible with HSS

As requested, I added body 2 and slider with Hall Sensor Sequential and Right Hand Drive mods. Files are as usal located on the website :
https://lebois-racing.com/exclusive-files-for-pro-and-elite-patreons/

Please also note that the required PCB is out of stock. Second batch should land in 10-15 days, you can pre-order here :

The new mod: Hall Sensor Sequential

Here's the mod that corrects one of V9.1's biggest flaws: the sequential sensors. 

It replaces the switches that tended to break with non-contact Hall sensors. 

You'll need to reprint body2 and the slider. 

The PCB can be ordered here: https://www.etsy.com/fr/listing/1687146293

New mod for the V9.1

A new mod is on the way for the V9.1 gearbox! 

I'll let you know what it is shortly, but for those of you printing, the body2 and slider for this mod will be different.

The current shopping list remains unchanged. 

I hope to release the mod in less than two weeks.

See you soon!
