Build your own Steering Wheel Joystick...

Anyone know of a website online to build your own Steering Wheel joysticks? I'm kind of a do-in-yourselfer and think this might be a fun project. Thanks. Ed

Try here it's been around a long time and is very informative http://www.simracing.com/wallys_world/wheel2.html I remember building my first wheel 8 years ago, alot of fun. I found that the project never ended it just kept getting improvments. Worked more on the wheel and pedals than I raced, but it was still alot of fun.

Sorry, I didn't check the links I've had it for along time, here's some newer ones though. Most Informative: http://www.gunpowder.freeserve.co.uk/wheels/main.htm Best Woodwork: http://www.student.oulu.fi/~heinanen/wheel.html Other Stuff for ideals: Cool, but not cheap: http://www.hyperstimulator.com/general/main.html Along the same lines: http://www.symasters.com/ (site doesn't work very good for me) Mike "Ian P" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9b7ir4$s9l$[email hidden]...

I used to visit Wally's when it was hosted elsewhere, didn't know it had resurfaced. Hopefully someone will update the links and pics. I'll take a look at the other sites later today.

Try these for starters Ed. http://www.theuspits.com/hardware/lew/index.html http://www.xs4all.nl/~pidi/huxworld/huxworld.htm http://www.simracing.com/wallys_world/ http://members.tripod.it/Tova/ Also a lot of the flight sim home builders sites have info that you will find relevant. I built a wheel and pedals acouple of years ago and still use it all the time. If you put time and thought into it the result is very satisfying. Better than the cheesy plastic things you buy in shops. The only disadvantage is no force feedback. That is rather difficult to implement for the home builder. Regards, Glenn motoed wrote:
