AMPLIAÇÃO DO FEEDBACK SENSORIAL EM SIMULADORES DE CORRIDA

Abstract

This technical report presents the development and validation of a physical telemetry dashboard based on an ESP32 embedded system, designed to convert racing simulator data into physical and visual responses. The system receives telemetry via the UDP protocol (Data Out format of Forza Motorsport 7) and displays the processed information on analog instruments and an integrated display. The prototype physically indicates speed, engine rotation, fuel level, and tire temperature, in addition to displaying gear, position, lap, and operational status on the screen. In its construction, the project adapted a real automotive dashboard, integrating actuation motors for the pointers, a visual interface, and internal electronics. The firmware was structured in lay- ers, influenced by the Ports and Adapters architecture, which reduces coupling and facilitates the solution’s evolution. Highlights include the asynchronous Wi-Fi configuration portal, the telemetry service (with timeout management), and the organization by catalogs. The incremen- tal validation encompassed unit tests, host-side integration, component testing, smoke testing, and real UDP integration. This method verified the firmware core prior to embedded execution, achieving full approval in all 68 cases of the test_native suite, out of a total of 73 docu- mented cases. The results prove that the developed system successfully receives, processes, and represents data, combining visual display and mechanical response.
