Hi,
Im making a modified Xbox steering wheel controller, machining some nice parts, using real bearings and hopefully upgrading the force feedback motor.
Here's what im trying to accomplish
The xbox motor turns clockwise and counter clockwise depending on the force feedback from the game.
I want to use that signal to drive a bigger motor, without burning out the xbox motor driver...
essentially what I have is a +/- 24V (0.5A stall motor) signal, and I want to turn it into +/- some voltage (maybe 24v from a different supply) with more current (20 max Amps - stalled motor )
I'm assuming I need an op amp, a voltage divider and then its all black magic from there, but I'd love to see anyone's take at this.
Thanks ahead of time!
