The stoppers have be physical, not software. I've designed a stopper that's
retractable and based on 'night safety locks' on house windows. (They allow
the window to open a couple inches at night, but no further.) From the side
view they look like triangles with a slightly rounded bottom. From the dash,
pushing them in limits the wheel arc to 180, and retracting them allows the
standard movement. They'd add about 5 cents to the cost of the wheel. I've
mentioned it to Act Labs, but it may have been lost in the shuffle. 'New
Force RS with ASS - Adjustable Steering Sweep for Race and Cruise mode'.
Hmmmm. Maybe better call it ASR for Adjustable Steering Rotation ;-)
