# Force Feedback Joystick

A DIY low-cost Force Feedback Joystick for an immersive gaming experience

## Overview

This project aims to build a Force Feedback Joystick that provides realistic haptic feedback to enhance the gaming experience. The joystick uses a combination of a magnet encoder, two BLDC motors, and an ESP32 to simulate physical forces encountered in virtual environments.

## Features

### Hardware:

- **Microcontroller**: ESP32 for control and communication.

- **Force Feedback**: Dual motor system with FOC control for haptic feedback.

- **Sensors**: AS5600 magnet sensor for 12-bit precise position tracking.

- **Communication**: Utilizes the onboard Bluetooth of ESP32.

- **Power Supply**: External 12V10A power supply for motors.

- **Enclosure**: Custom 3D-printed housing for all components.

- **Stick Connection**: Quick-switching electrical connection plug for HOTAS Stick.

  **HOTAS Stick**: The joystick I'm using is a remix version of [Open Viper HOTAS v0.2](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4924037) by [Bacon8tor](https://www.thingiverse.com/bacon8tor/designs) on www.thingiverse.com, I have modified the connector of the stick in order to fit my joystick base.(PS: There is a small mistake on the original PCB design on the pickle button, you need to do a little jump wire and isolation to be able to use the pickle button).

### Software:

- **Programming**: PlatformIO with the Arduino framework.

- **Haptic Effects**: Pre-programmed haptic effects for various games.

- **Configurable Settings**: Adjustable force feedback intensity and button mapping.

## Roadmap

### Main Objectives

- [x] Design and print the joystick enclosure.

- [x] Implement basic joystick functionality (position tracking, button inputs).

- [x] Integrate dual motor force feedback system.

- [x] Develop haptic feedback effects.

- [x] Implement Bluetooth communication.

- [x] Quick-switch plug for HOTAS stick.

### Extended Objectives

- [ ] Develop different haptic feedback effects for different situations.
