Can the Happ/Atari Active Steering Wheel be interfaced to a PC?
mark shaker:
Hello All,
Has anybody figured out how to interface the Happ's Active Steering Wheel to a PC?
Happ Part Number 50-0102-00. Liscensed to Happ from Atari. "Not intended to connect to a PC".

If you look at the exploded view, the two wires are to a 5k POT (96-4916-00) and the force feedback motrr. If you don't need the feedback, any of the POT hack hookups will be great. If you want the feedback :-\ well, easier to remove the motor, buy a PC wheel w/ feedback, and hack that motor and board onto the happs wheel. Not easy.

Robin,
Thank you for the reply.
I don't have a problem hacking the pot to PC. I've already interfaced a Star Wars Yoke and a Happ Flight Stick using the info I learned years ago from "Judes Star Wars Controller Hack".
I was thinking of hacking a PC Force Feedback Wheel, but I was hoping to use the original Happ motor, just for the additional torque and durability. (And because it would be cool!)
