@msater: Yes, all the buttons work in GP4 via Joy2Key software. The RPM LED's, the Gear Indicator and the 20x4 LCD don't work as I need a plugin for that to work and there's no such thing for GP4.

Unless someonw wants to write one? Lo2k??? Perhaps an adaption of your G15 plugin?????

The brake balance rotary you see at the bottom of the wheel works great with in-car setups enabled, but, I HAVE to race at ace level for this to work. Does anyone know how to enable in-car setup changes at semi-pro level (my preferred level). Maybe that's the subject of another thread... I guess I can always alter the performance levels so I can compete at Ace level. It's funny how the older the get, the faster I was...

There's a lot of circuitry and wiring involved in this wheel, it was a big effort to make and a huge learning curve. I didn't even know how to solder before I began making this, much less learning all about pcb's, resistors, transistors etc.

A couple of pics of its guts, and my dodgy soldering:

Is that one of Leo´s boards or beta inovations or something else? I´m planning (and have been for years) to do something pretty similar to you. I spoke to Zaz and Lo2K ages ago about making the pluggins. I think it was Zaz that told me you can do it with the export data from GpxPatch. If I ever actually get around to doing it then I will sure need the pluggin too, so I´ll get whichever board you have and either write the pluggin (although i´d have to learn how) or there could be one available by then.
