This was a fun build. I got to utilize a old xbox 360 controller and a LED touch light.

Stay tuned ill have a build video soon.

      Sure. It’s just a button box I created for American truck simulator so that I can have things like a keyed ignition and various buttons to map for in game use. Utilizing a old Xbox 360 controller I was able to attach leads to the buttons pads and use the controller in place of a USB encoder. I run simhub with a custom dash from my phone and the lighting is for ambiance and function. My cab is kinda dark so there are times where having a light is very handy.

        Oh damn that’s cool. I love ATS. Haven’t played in a while though, the steering wheel is in the back of a closet lol.

        Ah now I realize the Peterbilt logo is right on the thing haha Maybe I shouldn’t drive after all.

        Dude. You set up head tracking, for the camera to turn? I’m jealous of all of it ( mostly the toothpicks though). Someday when I have loot to play with I’m going to finally learn how to wire and create a set up.

    Friggin’ sweet! One of these days I’m going to look into building a shifter and clutch pedal because I’m too cheap to buy a whole new set.
