    I think one of the reasons it broke is because you have the pedal plate mounted off center creating a twisting motion. The way it broke kind of indicates that.

    Magnificent. I don't have an adapter on mine. They are fixed directly to the printed lever. I put a photo to make it look better.

    Here a video I have recorded printing the throttle base.

    Thank you very much @Lebois.

    I bought a printer 3 days ago and now it is full on printing your designs. I have never handled a 3d program. I have only used skechup 8 for almost 1 year but I have not used 3d design program again.

    I can edit the throttle lever at the top to make it narrower and not stick out the side of the footrest. Is that my footrest is narrower and part of the lever will be seen as it is wider.

    @7HUND3R That's a good idea, I will think about it for the Version 5.9. But now I am waiting for parts for the P1 throttle pedal. The P1 throttle pedal will be as wide as the P1 brake pedal.

    if the accelerator lever p1 is as narrow as the brake pedal, that means that the base of the 5.8 accelerator where the pedal is fixed is not valid for the 5.9 right? I would like to be able to edit the 5.8 model and narrow it only from the upper area so that it is the same width as the sparco accelerator footrest.

    You printed the GT accelerator 5.8, not the P1 accelerator. P1 accelerator will be as wide as P1 brake pedal. GT 5.9 accelerator base will be as wide as 5.8, and I can make the top of the lever narrower.

    Making the top of the lever narrower by yourself won't be easy... I would advice you to wait for P1 throttle or GT throttle 5.9.

    I would help you with the design but I have never touched a 3d program. Well yes, the skechup 8 but I haven't used it for a long time. It is not that I have a lot of free time either, but you can tell me with which program you do the design and I could look a little fast.

    I expose you a photo so that you can compare how narrow the sparco accelerator pedal is.

    every time it is getting better. I am missing the axes that come from China.

    I have had problems with the throttle. In the photo it is not appreciated but I will have to reprint the accelerator lever again because it has detached from the printer platform while it was printing.

    Just a tip : try to keep the room at the same temperature. If there is important changes (by example if you open the windows), the plastic will retract, so it will detached it self from the bed.

    finished setting the throttle and this is going awesome. @Lebois. thanks for the fantastic design. the accelerator works very well. despite the printing problem it works fine. to see if I dare to print the accelerator p1.

    Ok @Lebois, let me tell you.

    I'm already with the electronics of the pedals. I have opened the g27 pedals to check the VCC and GND cables.

    in the g27 pedals the black wire from the potentiometers gives me Pin number 1 and the red wires from the potentiometers give me Pin 6 and Pin 9 of the connector.

    Here I have been lost because the black wire should be the GND right? and the VCC the red wire.

    In a diagram it says that the GND would be Pin number 6 and 9 and the VCC would be Pin number 1.

    I just came from testing the pedals by connecting the pedals directly to the g27 with the 9 pin VGA cable and have had no luck. The pedal bars do nothing, they do not move in windows.

    [​IMG]

    Then when I saw that it did not work I decided to try connecting the pedals to an arduino leonardo. And I get an error when loading the joystick library.

    [​IMG]

    If I can get the pedals to work with the arduino, how do I know? I don't see any place on arduino to see the pedals as they are used. In the logitech if I can because it is seen in the logitech software but in arduino?

    Despite the errors that the arduino IDE gives me, I have decided to go into iracing and configure the pedals. Fortunately, the accelerator does detect it but in a bad way, the brake and clutch are not detected by the arduino leonardo.

    Hi ! Sorry I didn't get the notifications. Your wiring scheme is correct, mine isn't. Pin 1 is ground, and pin 6 is 5V.
    Throttle is working because the potentiometer can be inverted (that's why your signal is inverted), but the pressure sensor really needs to be wired correctly...

    Sorry about that... The website has been updated...
