The Dashboard Part 1

A project log for Real Scania Truck Home Simulator

The Scrapyard and Arduino make a great combination!

Today I fixed the steering part. This is one of the harder parts since I need to find a way to put all this stuff together, remember; I’m not a truck mechanic.

I`m still facing a big challenge ahead; how do I connect the original heavy weight steering wheel to a simple gaming USB racing wheel, and how to I add enough drag to the steering column so it won’t destroy my cheap USB racing wheel?? I can shorten the original heavy weight Scania axle and put a U-joint on it and build an adapter to fit the axle to the wheel underneath the dashboard. I`m hoping this way I don’t need to modify the USB racing wheel and it will be easy to replace the USB wheel later, I might even feel little force feedback in the Scania wheel…?

Ok guys, If you have any ideals for my challenges, please let me know and keep those Skulls coming if you like what I`m doing!
