This is for people who want to use their shifter / pedals without the associated wheel. Usually that's those who have upgraded to a direct drive wheel but want to keep their shifter / pedals.
I assume you could download the Arduino thing onto a 'wee' Arduino thing, if you know what I'm talking about, is it a Atmega chip or something? EDIT Oh, just seen the end of video! lol NB how about the G27 shifter with the D-pad and buttons?
Brilliant Thanks, Upgraded to a T300 but wanted to keep my modified G27 pedals as a standalone set, I used a Pro Micro clone and the script uploaded flawlessly, pins were labelled the same except I used VCC instead of 5v it was giving out 4.5v (Raw was giving out 4.7v), Also I cut the pedal wires and soldered direct to the board as I didn't want the DB9 connector, for anyone interested in the pedals internal wire colours, Red:5v, Black:Ground, Green:Clutch:A0, White:Brake:A1, Orange:Throttle:A2.
Thats looks so cool. I want to do something like this. I just dont understand and dont read instructions very well. I am a plug and play type of person.
Thanks for this video, works perfectly. i also made your pedals usb one too. is there anyway of changing the Leonardo name in the PC as both shifter and pedals display as same name and its hard to tell which ones which when configuring them? i tried to follow tutorials about changing the boards.txt file but that file doesn''t seem to exist anywhere.
Yep! Check out the "Sim Racing Shields" repository, it contains board files for changing the name. You can use the Pro Micro board files on the Leonardo without issue.
@@dave.madison found the repository you mentioned and uploaded it to the board. got an error message about programmer not responding and now the leonardo isnt recognised by my PC or Arduino IDE. i double press reset button on leonardo to put it in bootloader mode and the board appears in the com list but PC pops up usb not recognised and board disappears from com list. clearly ive made a mistake somewhere and i cant figure out how to get board recognised anymore
@@paulharris8623 It sounds like you had the wrong settings in the boards menu when you programmed it. You can try to put it in bootloader mode when the upload starts, but if it's reporting a USB device error you may have had the 3.3V board selected which has a different clock frequency. In that case you may have to flash it with an external programmer (you can use the second Leonardo).
@@dave.madison All fixed thanks. i did indeed have it set to 3.3v. To fix it i had to change processor to 5v and double press reset button then quickly select board from coms list then press upload and double press reset button again as soon as it finished compiling and started uploading. Works perfect now with peddles and shifter having individual names when connected. Thank you for your assistance and fast response to my questions.
I want it !!! Thought about making it myself... but i could never make that work!! Im a rc driver and sim driver.. would love to combine it like that!! Great job!!
I did everything in the video but I can’t get it right when I shift in 1, 3 and 5th it connects to button 1 and 2, 4 and 6th connects to button 2 also reverse doses work please help me
Hey man! Great video and write up on this. I'm running into an issue where my shifter works for gears 1-4, but won't detect 5th, and 6th detects as R without the R Lock out (so you can use reverse with out without the lockout). I've used the examples provided. I ran the ShiftPrint example and it shows the same behavior as my windows game controller properties window does. Do you have a write up on how to calibrate the shifter by chance? The shifter works fine with my G920 wheel and pedals, but I'm upgrading to the Moza R5 and don't want to spend $150 on their shifter right now, or $90 on the amazon special. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Hi! If you can't get into 5th and 6th is showing as reverse, that's a sign that either the reverse connection (green wire, DB9 pin 2 / Arduino pin 2) or the power for the reverse connection transistor (red wire, DB9 jumper between pins 3/9) is bad. You can test that enabling the 'SendReverseRaw' option in the 'ShiftJoystick' example, and pressing down on the shifter shaft. The button (#8) should be "on" when the shifter is pressed down, and "off" otherwise. For calibration, upload the "ShiftPrint" example, open the serial monitor in the IDE, and send any character. Then follow the on-screen instructions. Once calibration is complete, copy the result and paste it into the indicated place in the "ShiftJoystick" example to apply it.
@@dave.madison I unplug the green wire on the Arduino and do calibration on Shiftprint , copy paste on ShifJoystick and I have 6 speed ! No reverse but I don't care, it's beter than have 4 speed! Thanks for you're work !
I'm looking for something unusual, a "backyard adaptador," something who adapts usb shifter to G29 steering wheel but i couldn't find... so... it is possible or not?
What are the consequences? Questions are felt because I have some products, I bought an adapter and when I press the pedals, I see that the reaction is delayed.
