I like that overhead design though. I'm going to do my pedals like a car (note I didn't say race car) so I want to mount the brake and clutch overhead. I think I've got most of that stuff lying around in my junk pile believe it or not. I always seem to have mountains of scrap metal and old car parts.... must be a hillbilly thing. ;)
You might want to pull out a multi-meter and see what kind of data the load cell is sending back to the pcb.... you'd be surprised, sometimes it just acts like a pot. Almost any kind of computer sensor just sends variable resistance by the time it plugs into the pc... it just makes programming easier.

Thanks Howard. Yeah these pedals are from CST and go for top dollar used(ie around $1000) at the iracing forums. The maker of them, Todd Cannon, has gone missing and he still owes pedals to over 50 paid customers!! You wouldn't BELIEVE the drama going on over there dude. They say if they see Todd anywhere they're gonna beat the living ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- out of him. I wouldn't blame them, I'm just glad I got them at the time when he was doing honest business and was still fullfilling orders.
Anyway, good luck with your pedals. Do keep us posted on how they turn out. If you get too lazy and decide you don't wanna build them yourself, there's a few other promising pedals coming out on the market soon. MPP is one to watch out for.

The reason I love arcade racers over these new realistic racer is because I think brakes are overrated. Gas pedal to the floor! So no, I didnt use the brakes. I did downshift tho. the desert track has like two turns to worry about and that's it.
Howard_Casto:
I agree.... the only thing the brake is good for is for doing a sweet slide across the finish line..... brakes.... bah!
