Hi,
I built this controller for my proyect of steering wheel, pedals and buttons box / h shifter, but it can be used for any kind of control.
It´s based on a PIC 18F2455 and it´s very simple to buid.

Here is a link to the original web in XtremeRacers Forum in spanish.
http://www.xtremeracers.info/forums/vie ... =45&t=5696

In some time, no too much far away, I´m doing a translate to english.
English Version by Andy: Download Controller Manual Ver 0.1.pdf for free on uploading.com Released 28/03/2010

Here are the files you need to build this controller.
It´s seems to be too big, but i´m trying to compress it.

Feel free to do any coment or improve.

Regards
Willy

Thank you for the project Willynovi!


Why don't you try uploading it at RAPIDSHARE?

[willynovi]

NuMcA, its ok.
You can follow the link to XtremeRacers and there are the files to download. You dont need to be a register member to do this.
Any way, I´ll try to upload the files in this forum.

Hi willynovi,

I am also interested in your WN_Controller 6 axis 10 bits + 36 buttons with PIC18F2455.
please post the english version, if you have translated it.

Also, I have tried downloaded this:
http://www.xtremeracers.info/web/index. ... 8&cid=3058
But I can not find the download button.
Since I do not understand spanish, I can only guess that you have to be a member to download it.

With warmest regards,

Tirta

You must be registered at XR to download, but it easy, only 2 minutes. If you have any problem you can contact at info[]xtremeracers[]net

Willy has made 3 versions of firmware to the same PCB :
6 axis 32 buttons
4 axis 64 buttons
0 axis 81 buttons.

You don't need to understand Spanish to make the PCB or program de PIC...
Come on, Try it....

Hi Willy,
I've just downloaded your stuff and started the translation . Once it is done I'll PM you, so we can get in touch with the forum Moderators and see if they like to host the stuff. I know that is a very good project and should be published here also in order to close the gap between ATMega and the Wonderful and faster PIC.
Keep your good work up, you are a good guy to share such infos.
Regards
Andy

Ok Andy, thank you for beginign the translation, when it´s done please let me know so I can see it.

Talking about ATMega vs PIC, I think the two are very good microcontrollers, I choice PIC because it´s a long time since I manage it.

Any info you want to share with us about PIC and the HID controller feel free to share it.

regards,

Hi Willy,
I've just finished the translation for your tutorial , it is in a PDF format. I have the file, PM me with your email, so I can mail it to you.
Also I need to know which JDM are u using, the one mentioned in your documentation will not handle the 28 pin MCU's. Please let me know and if u have a PCB layout and/or a circuit diagram I'll appreciate it if you post them at this thread or PM them to me.
There too many version on the net, but If I am going to build your board I have to use a similar programmer to the one you are using. that makes things much easier when it comes to debugging.
Regards
Andy
