Hey guys, I had the idea of making my tablet phone a steering wheel, since it has a gyroscope, leaning forward would accelerate, back would brake, left and right would steer.

However I'm not sure whether you have to actually make it a controller driver and go through windows for it to work in LFS or if there is a supplied way for me to directly access the steering wheel, accelerating and brakes out of a program I make?

Do you know if LFS supports this? Any words of advice? Cheers.

It's not really a case of whether LFS directly supports being controller by a table (or other device with gyroscopic/accelerometer hardware like a Wiimote or mobile phone). It's a case of getting the device to appear to LFS as a suitable input device. According to this post you can use some Nokia devices with LFS. You could investigate whether there's any similar software for your tablet.

Why do you want to do this? Is it for novelty or to actually use it as a superior control method to what you currently use? If you're doing it hoping to become a better/faster driver you'd probably be better off just buying a cheap wheel if you can't afford a good one. Any control method that relies on wifi and has to go through some conversion (which would be the case with this) is inherently going to be laggier and more prone to problems than a 'native', wired solution.

Hey, thanks for the help, the main reason I want to do this is for the epic lulz and for fun.

Perhaps the easiest way how to accomplish this is to use mouse steering in LFS and move the cursor accordingly to the phone's movement. If you have a way to access your phone's accelerometer data, it should be quite easy to do...
