Just installed Simhub and got a license. Hope it's the right forum to ask and not a stupid question:

Can Simhub trigger rumble effects on a standard Xbox style gamepad via usb?

Background:
I want to add rumble to my racing pedals. As I have 2 old rumble gamepads, I thought I could take 2 rumble motors of the gamepads and use one (or both) gamepads to control the motors:
Attach motors to the pedals, use a longer cable from gamepad circuit board to motors, plug gamepad via usb and control gamepad rumble via Simhub.

I could also go the arduino+motorshield way (already made arduino projects), but thought re-using the gamepads would be much easier.

Thanks!

Hi ! No it's not implemented, it's a request I get regularly, but sending vibrations requires the get exclusive access the the controller and it would mess up with some games.
