PC Steering Wheel and Gas Pedals
Welcome today this is instructable to make usb steering with pedals..so lets start.....first...assemble all material needed.......All things u need .....
For steering:
2 paper plates(same )
tape
box (like shoe box)
rod like structure (any pipe like structure will also work but it should not be much broad)
cylindrical structure ( can make by rolling paper but paper should be heavy like structure of a book u can use that paper on which mouse works in good way..)
a working mouse
software ppjoy...(advice to have latest version)
glue
For gas pedals:
working keyboard (with at least 2 keys working)
cardboard

Making Steering Body
Take two paper plates and place opposite each other and fix with tape all around ....like in figure.....
Working Procedure....
Now....install ppjoy (latest version as some versions don't contain necessary joystick.) ....after installing open configure joysticks than add port of virtual joystick I had already added two so don't concentrate on those as shown in fig.....than select controller and add....than ...open mouse joystick....(my advice to pin this to taskbar as whenever u want to play game u first need to open this than open game...) than ..open game...and go to controls and slide type to ppjoy virtual joystick and add controls by moving mouse leftwards in left control and moving rightwards on right control ....leave all other controls u need these two only in this.....for details see fig.. . and follow next step...
Making Steering Function....
Now....afterwards ....take steering body and pass a rod through it... .. and fix it....than...pass that rod through box....also.....than stick cylindrical structure. to that rod..(this was main function as through this when we will tilt steering than this structure will also tilt and as its been placed just above mouse so its like...mouse is moving on it leftwards or rightwards..).....than place... mouse...upside down....on surface of box u have taken and make a hole for USB of mouse to come out....for more details see figure...... and read concept.....surely......
HEAD Towards Pedals
Now...ur done with steering just connect USB of mouse ....open mouse joystick and open game....and play....now....for keyboard...its very simple...just ....cut two shapes like of pedals of brake and accelerate (one broad and one lesser broad) from cardboard and also cut two bases for them....both....than join them in such a way ...like ...L structure ....in such way in which pedals can be pushed......see fig....than take keyboard and remove all keys leaving two of controls of brake and accelerate than stick that keyboard on a cardboard...than ...stick one straw infront of each pedal facing downwards towards keyboard keys..........so that when we will push pedal than it will push key...but remember to cut straw ...don't take whole size...than ..stick both pedals on that cardboard with keyboard infront of their controls like brake pedal infront of brake key and accelerate...pedal infront of accelerate key.......for details see fig...and head towards next and last step. ....
Finish.....
Your done...just connect both usbs in computer of mouse and keyboard.....and also don't forget to first open mouse joystick before than opening game .......than open game....and enjoy...playing.......
