Add Steering Wheel Movement to the Vehicle in CARLA

[alejandroav96]

I am working on adding a functional steering wheel to a vehicle in CARLA. So far, I have completed the following steps:

• Designed a steering wheel in Blender and integrated it into the vehicle using Unreal.
• Adjusted physics and resolved conflicts to avoid collisions.
• Created a blueprint to manage the steering wheel.

However, I haven’t been able to make the steering wheel move. Using Python, I can correctly obtain the required steering angle for the wheel, but I am unable to send these values effectively to apply them to the model.

I would appreciate any guidance on how to connect the values calculated in Python with the blueprint or any other recommended method to generate movement in the steering wheel within CARLA.

Hi,
if you are working in Unreal Editor and made a blueprint for the steering wheel, wouldn't it be better to use the VehicleWheelLocation to calculate the steering wheel movement?

I don't know how to add a new python API function, but using the wheel Location sounds reasonable.
