Building DIY Shifter - Kagan Yazlak - 03-06-2021
Hello to all.
Does someone know a good DIY manual to build a Shifter?
I have a Thrustmaster TMX with just 2 Pedals, but I want to upgrade my Kit to 3 Pedals ( t3pa / pro ).
I also wanted to buy a Thrustmaster Shifter ( th8a ) but in my opinion, its waaay to expensive.
I red also, that the Logitech Shifter doesnt work on Assetto Corsa with the TMX Wheel.
So I choose, to build myself one
Btw. I am working as a Systemadmin and I can handle with programming a rasperry pi.
I saw a lot of DIY Shifter to build, but all the "Tutorials" are made from a 3d-printer or made out of industrial metal.
I just want to build a good solide Shifter with common handtools and common materials
(for example: wood pieces from IKEA)
I am thankful for any answer

Hi
You can easily make the Logitech Shifter work with any wheel building an USB adapter with an Arduino Mini, that's the system that I'm using (Logitech Shifter + TS-PC) and it works like a charm.
There are a lot of tutorials out there (search for Amstudio on YouTube, for ex.) or take a look on eBay or any other shop because you will probably find people selling it.
Cheers.
