Hey RandyT, How about a steering wheel?!

Pages: (1/3) > >>

GadgetGeek:

Just as a thought, how about offering a steering wheel that could be attached to your new spinner?  It could either attach directly to the shaft or more conveniently, somehow, to the spinner knob.
Thanks for listening.

Timoe:

It would have to be a fairly small and light wheel due to the thin 1/4" shaft of the spinner.

1/4" is more than sturdy for a spinner with its short stubby knob, but a wheel could be used to bend the shaft.

I'll have to look at that possibility.  The shaft is hardened and there's not much sticking up.  It might be ok, but as you said, probably not for a full sized wheel.

Is this a request thread?   ;)

I'd like to see someone create a mod for my xenophobe joystick that will allow me to play Tron (light cycles) with it.  A few years ago someone was looking into this to manufacture something and it doesn't seem that it every happened.

Sorry for crashing this thread...

I love the steering wheel idea.  The gotcha is the angle of the spinner.  A horizontal sinner is great but a horizontal wheel is not.  Now if you could rig up a spinner housing that would tilt 70 degrees or so you would have a winner...
