Steering Wheel Control Panel Q
Minwah:
I just remembered (I think HC suggested this to me a long time ago):
Setting the 'Gear Change' key in type 3) games like PolePos to 2 different keys eg 'Space OR Z' makes the game react like the type 2) games.
So I think I will use 1 microswitch with the NO and NC contacts mapped to 2 separate inputs - this should work well with all driving games. The only thing now is how to have a neutral zone so it is not constantly scrolling in the FE...

Here is my basic theory of conversion to hi/lo neutral. And yes the springs would keep it in the neutral position.

The circuit idea would work like this , when you shift into high the circuit would "tap" the high button and when you shift onto low it would tap the low button. Therefore you would never be holding down one of the buttons. the circuit is called a "one shot" and if fairly simple to build .
however this wont work to control the FE , even though with this circuit the computer thinks it has a neutral position the it is mechanically imposable to repeatedly push the high or low gear button.
However again: you could add to buttons to the CP wired into the shifter to control the FE, i edited the schematic to show that.
