hello , can anyone suggest me what parts i should use for making axis?
not all parts, but just that axis mechanizm like in the picture http://wiedras.jino-net.ru/kaka/ruddback.jpg

You can use a potentiometer or a variable resistor. But the question is how would you get Windows to recognize these pedals?

Buy a cheap USB joypad with an analogue stick. Pull the pad apart, keeping everything connected and attach your pedal mechanism so when it moves, the stick moves. Once its all together, windows will still see it all as a pad, just leaving you to calibrate it and assign the 'analogue stick' to whatever you want in-game.

I made my own pedals with this controller

I've been thinking about this all day now and think I'm going to break out the lego when I get home and make one

Here we go - the pad is a PS2 pad through a USB adapter and I've just used an elastic band to hold it in place rather than pulling it apart. The mechanism works perfectly, although the whole thing needs strengthening a bit, and also fixing to the ground a bit better. other than that it's great

Takes a bit of getting used to in LFS though.

Lol, thats amazing! you just need to make the pedal a little thicker, the bit where you feet touch it

I made a clutch pedal from LEGO a few months ago, it's surprisingly strong and it works without any serious problems. I used a cheap USB joystick's circuit and one of the pots. Sorry about picture quality.

deja pirkau is savo pinigu.

HAhahahahah!!! I thought this was a myth! I am laughing my ass off here xD

I made a shifter out of lego and knex. The inside mechanics are knex and the shell and gates are lego, the shell is a monster, but the shifter has a surprisingly steady throw.

I don't have the electronics to put in it yet, but I plan on getting a BU0836X and using the first 3 axis' for a 3 pedal set and the first 7 buttons for the shifter. I'm going to build a custom shifter though.

can you show me some pics of the shifter? as i might make one for my g25 too out of a joystick

Unfortunately I can't, my camera died. When I get a new one, at which point I'll probably have the whole shifter complete. I'll make a new thread and post pics of both the knex/lego and the custom made shifters. So just watch out for that. It might not be for a while though since I'm on a tight budget right now.

I'd still be interested in seeing photos for an all metal alloy design, It could attach to the seat,

Was it hard to get games to detect 2 controllers at once doing 2 seperate things?
Nothing like a bit of innovation!

Does anyone let me use their photos to upload to my site?
