Using Makerbuino for throttle and brake pedals of the steering wheel

[MerkatIzRupe]

Greetings, I was wondering, if it is possible to use Makerbuino and potentiometers as throttle and brake pedals for a steering wheel on PC? I got this idea due to projects like one in the video with Arduino UNO.

Hey,

Thank you for joining the forum.

I really didn’t look into the UnoJoy project thoroughly, but I don’t think it would be possible as I said in this thread:

MAKERbuino gamepad for PC games

Hey, thank you for joining the topic! I don’t think this would work as the UNO is using a different USB-TTL chip compared to MAKERbuino. The reason behind that is that UNO’s USB-TTL converter can be reflashed with Unojoy’s custom firmware whilst MAKERbuino’s chip cannot be reflashed (it’s not a programmable microcontroller).
