Yeah I knew about leo bodnar, but that price of kit is exactly what I need!
Will have a look at more of his stuff. Been a while since the first time I saw it.

This is fantastic! Well done.

I reckon with some arduino-ing the dash gauges could work too. Assetto Corsa (and many others) can pass parameters to an arduino to drive physical gauges. Just need to packetise them as ALDL frames sending to the dash.

That's the goal mate! LFS and Rfactor have an outgauge system where it's possible to intercept the live data and convert it to what ever you want it to be.
It's definitely going to make me brush up my arduino programming :)

Not a huge update as I have been super busy with work ATM
But I have braces up the floor pan, hard mounted the colomn and also set my me pedal angle/height

Also taken the indicator stalk and wiper stalk apart to trace the pcb

I can now hook up my downshift paddle to pull back on the wiper stalk
And upshift pulling back on indicator stalk.

Aswell as have left and right indicators

The cruise function and wiper delay modes are all resistance based so if I want to use that I'll need to get the arduino in there to turn the values into key presses.

Looking good.
Not sure if an empty pack of starburst is the reference the guys on here are familiar with though. :)

start here:
http://www.x-sim.de/forum/portal.php

this thing can connect to most simluators, and extract the data, package it into OBD2 and then you can plug into it and read pid's as if it were a cars obd. you can also drive all sorts of phyiscal things through serial port control or serial to arduino commands etc.

a lot of people use it to drive a motion sim. I was playing a few weeks ago, getting the concept down pat and arduino code written before making my own life size version :D
