New Board - shrinking all the way

Been a while since an update...well MW3 did come out!!

So the prototype was quite big, so we have worked on a smaller board to make things eaiser to mount and more compact.

We also believe because of the programmability of the board that it should work with any controller / wheel. We will test this on a ps2 controller. Below is an image of how small the board has got

Video of Prototype in action...

I forgot to mention in the video force feedback has been retained, a proper video will follow with a race where fuel and tyre options are used. Enjoy!!

wheel stickered up

Wheel all stickered up and ready to go!! Just need wire it all backup and put back together.

Wheel electronics Completed.......

The wheel is now completed, it has two ribbons coming out of it which goes to the board with the chip which will be mounted on the steering column. I will be setting up the wheel hopefully this weekend and have a video of it in action.

Xbox communicating with Wheel via chip

Below is the wheel now commmunicating with the xbox. Next will be fore the wheel to be tidied up and put back together for use with the game.

Chip board V1 complete

Version 1 of the controller chip is now complete and will be attached to the wheel and finally I will be able to produce a video of a working customised wheel. Using the rotarys for fuel selection and tyres.

Hopefully a video will be up by the end of friday night. With the weather being 27Degrees last weekend in the UK not much was done.

The wiring up starts....

So the buttons have been wired up now. Next will be the rotary, instead of resistors and transistors to make it work, we may be looking at a 2nd chip to do the job instead.
