I have made a 3D printed wheel with the following items:

  • 10 momentary push buttons
  • 3 rotary encoders
  • 16 leds for RPM (from a WS2812 Strip)
  • 1 LED matrix for gear indication (MAX7219 LED Matrix)
  • 1 LCD display for lap-times (I2C LCD 20x4

I using an Arduino Nano V3 and am trying to connect to iRacing using Simhub.

The led’s, Led-matrix and LCD are working perfectly.

The buttons, both pushbutton and rotaries, however don’t. The buttons are connected in a matrix. I checked the wiring a couple of time, and also had a mate have look at it. The wiring is how it’s suppose to be.

My question is what am I doing wrong.

Thanks in advance!

Hi !

 

You are using the wrong Arduino model : https://github.com/SHWotever/SimHub/wiki/Arduino--Setup#recommended-arduinos, only the Leonardo or the pro micro have native usb gamepad capabilities.

Thanks, I was already afraid of that. Bummer that the Leonardo hasn’t got enough connections for al my items. Think I’ll have to lose a couple of buttons.
