Hey Everyone,
I have a plan for a new project and I need the help of the community.
I have an old Playstation Racing Steering wheel that I want to change to work with perfectly with PC using the arduino.
I know I can use Playstation to USB adapters but the one I have doesn't allow full functionality of the wheel and leaves horrible deadzones in the steering.
Here is a quick rundown of what is on the wheel
2 Potentiometers - one controls gas, another controls brake
another pot - this is the main pot that controls steering
14 pushbuttons - these are straight forward... just momentary pushbuttons.
I have been experimenting with using keyboard firmware to make the arduino connect to the pc as a regular USB keyboard.
This allows me to use the 14 pushbuttons but not the 3 pots, without these its basically a very odd shaped keyboard...
I need someones help on how to make the pc recognize my arduino as a gaming controller or joystick and also help me code in arduino.
I can code basic stuff like the pushbuttons but I have never been great with analog stuff like pots.
Throughout this project I also want to create a Instructables page to showcase my project and help the online community create similar devices.
ANY AND ALL HELP AND SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOMED!
I don't care how basic, everyones 2 cents will help me finish this soon.
If I can get this running smoothly I also plant to build a manual shifter and maybe real gas/brake pedals.
Thank You to all who respond!
