PIC USB gamepad that I have built in a STEERING WHEEL shell. The code for the firmware was written in PicBasic Pro and it implements a HID USB device with 2 axes and 4 buttons (only 2 buttons connected in the prototype). The device is detected by Windows XP/Vista as a standard USB gamepad and can be used with many games and applications.

I’m a bad gamer but I certainly started to score better results with this gamepad, especially on acrobatic tracks that would otherwise be very hard to pass.
Let the racing start !
Second prototype “The Air Wheel”

It is detected in Windows as a standard 2 axis HID USB gamepad , so it’s compatible with many games:
