    Hi there,

    i just ask myself, is it possible to use one arduino (leonardo, whatever) to control several things.

    for example: a clutch pedal, a handbreak lever, a shifter LED and a Wind simulator ?

    for pedal and handbreak it should work because its just like a pedal cluster for 2 or more potentiometers right ? its just a mapping thing in the game which potentiometer are used for clutch and brake.

    but can the same arduino handle the other things in parallel or do i need one per issue ?

    thnaks :)

    okay thanks for the links, so i see everything for input can combined in a single arduino. buttons and poti´s.

    but i dint see a combined input AND outpud device like buttons + wind simulator ... but maybe its a coding issue to run both things in parallel ?!
