    I would like to know if anyone can give me information of how to make a steering wheel with car steering wheel as ones that you normally buy is not strong enough and I would like to use a "old" car in my garage to build a simulator in it.

    Thank You in advance.

    Thank You Historiker

    I will translate it and try to follow it completely I saw he is using encoder to get signals from steering and then looks like sending signals to arduino and then to pc! hope he can complete this and share to us as it will help to build simulators for aggressive drivers as well.

    Thank You

    Hey Mat, even with Chrome translate I cannot see the pictures. Would you be interested in transfering the entire How To to English and reprinting it here? I am very interested in the process myself.
