Last year I built a computer for the first time. This year, I built a button box from scratch - keys included!
Since having a computer that can run more than notepad, I really got into Euro Truck sim 2 and American Truck sim. I bought a Logitech G29, but it wasn't enough. I needed something else.
So I went looking around the web for truck sim peripherals, and NOPE. I'm not paying USD$250 for one!
I did some digging to find out how to make my own controller.
Found a method to try out on the XSimulator community and got to reading.
After thinking I may be able to pull it off, I bought some components, did a [terrible] trial build, and now I can play my truck games properly.
If you've always wanted to give it a go, go for it. It is waaaaay cheaper and a lot of fun - once you figure out wiring and soldering :/
Pics of the build process.
Everything finally arrived and is ready to go!
Getting a feel for a layout.
Yep, layout fits and - in my mind - makes sense.
Cutting time - massive scratch on this one so I bought another box and did it again.
Phew! It all fits properly.
Wiring started - didn't take a final shot because I have shameful soldering skills, and no-one needs to see that :p
All in all it works great, and I am a very happy virtual trucker!
Take care steemians
Hay, you're back! New tag for us to use - check out #teamnz
Cheers @kiwideb!

Hopefully i'll be able to be more consistent, and have better content, this year!
No time like the present, you could change one of the tags on this post. Maybe "blog"?
Good point. Done!
