I am hopeful I will present this question in a way that conveys as much information as necessary in as succinct a manner as possible. I know almost nothing about electronics and my attempts to research ideas to solve my issue using Arduino have met with my feeling that I can't even figure out where to start.
Summary: I have an issue with a steering wheel/pedal controller in PC based sim racing, specifically I am utilizing portions of ECCI 6000 Steering Wheel/Pedal combo with a Simucube2 Direct Drive Force Feedback Controller.
I have attached two jpgs designed to provide more detail as how tried to set up the equipment to work and exactly what occurred which led me to seek some advice; the short hand of is the cord attaching the four push buttons on the wheel to the circuit board were completely severed.
I am hoping to do more than simply repair the damaged cord, (although I am not sure even how to do that!!) but maybe use Arduino to set up something that would be a better and more efficient solution.
Note: The SimuCube2 has two very specific abilities that interest me. The first being the device includes an DA-15 accessory port for accessories. The other is it has the ability for a wireless connection to buttons attached to a steering wheel. I can't even begin to think how I would begin to best utilized those functions using what I have.
If someone with a real understanding could simply point me in the direction of an idea, such as a way to get a wireless connection between the paddle shifter buttons and PC, or even creating a new circuit board for the pedals and paddle shifters that would be smaller, and easier to manage I would appreciate any help..
Regards.
