oh and would the paddles follow the steering a la F1 or be stationary ?

i'm pretty sure the PLC is up to the task, we'll see though! the paddles at this point will most likely move with the steering wheel :)

I can't wait to see this thing in action, but i don't know why anyone wouldnt have it F1 style, what if you need to upshift or downshift when turning who wants to have to move their hand back to a center position? lol I'm sure Tamago is smarter than that

That video is pretty sweet, but that's a lot of hardware...

Have any of you considered the MR2 spyder (sequential gearbox) steering wheel instead of adding paddles? Or for that matter, just shoehorning in the whole MR2 shift system?

I have to say the video is pretty cool.

thats all the hardware because i will put two wires to the stick at the same position with the two wires that the stick have now so i will move the stick and the stick will move the gearbox. The hardware is small and i can put it at the trunk in the room for the spare wheel so you cant see anything on the car.
and this is a screenshot from the program

Great, thank you for the perspective shots...I didn't realize everything was the size of a lighter!

that system is total garbage, and should have never been built.

No, i never did finish it. i sold the car it was supposed to go in, and moved on. I also sold the Siemens PLC.. many many years ago ;)

Anyone else try this?!

Just ordered a PLC and some actuators!
Keen to give it a try!
Seems to be very limited info around!

Seems this is the only working system I can find!
