    if thats the case then I have it all. I was going to add some power switches for the motor and for the servo driver. I dont see any of the fuse info on there or the resistor either....Thats the issue is there are a few different versions floating around. The wiring, the damn wiring and the schematic wtih 3 options on it has me a bit confused. There are a few places where the wire is in a T, meaning it looks like it connects to 3 locations. Not sure how I will handle this or if I am reading it correctly.

    I will take a look there again. I also emailed that guy earlier about the stm breakout board. Not sure if he still sells them or not and how long that whole process takes.

    Just looked, thats the schematic I have been using. I dont understand the best way to approach the wires with intersections that go to multiple places.

    Lol, I'm a very simply guy with no experience in electric wiring whatsoever. I just began and followed the wires one by one and three days later I was finished hahahaha

    The break outboard for Argon is sold by granite. Klik

    Sorry I'm new, and this may be a bit off the main topic, but if someone here has ordered a kit from D Reimer, is there anything I need to do with the local import / tax office when the wheel is in transit? fees? websites? I don't want it getting stuck somewhere, y'know? Anyone have a detailed account of this? Just making the final preps on my end here in Milwaukee, WI. I just paid up, including shipping, and got the invoice from Reimer last night. SO STOKED.

    Have a question regarding what rim to use.
    I have a Thrustmaster F1 rim, full carbon with sli-pro lying around. Can this 1 be used or mounted on the OSW?
    If yes where do i need to look for an adatper, or what do i need.

    Fanatec formula rim also, so same questions as for the thrustmaster.

    Hi everyone and specially @bberger,

    I am trying to develope a little system with FFB just for the wheel.

    I have developed a little HID device, the device descriptor is really hard to write.

    Everything works (butons, pedals and wheel encoder) but now I want to add the FFB to the Device Descriptor to make windows recognize it and I am really lost.

    @bberger I can not find the device descriptor in your project, can you give some advice or indication?
