Firstly, you have to install the Fanatec driver, otherwise you cannot calibrate it. The thing is it is not a normal game adapter. But there’s no other way to convert your Fanatec shifter to USB without this adapter. Unfortunately, the adapter is expensive (and delivery is extremely pricey too). You can then use a 3D printer to make a better lever guide and various parts.If you’ve been dependent on your Fanatec wheelbase for game controller compatibility between your PC and Fanatec shifters, handbrake or pedals, it can come as quite a surprise to learn that upon migrating to a non-Fanatec wheelbase, the only way to maintain compatibility is to buy the Fanatec USB adapter.īasically, if you migrate to a non-Fanatec wheelbase you’ll be in need of a way to convert the RJ45 connector to USB. You can drive them along with the handbrake controller (they normally require a G29 wheel to be connected to), which I did. Electronically they are just 2 pots and a button. Not the greatest items but you can make them better by 3d printing some parts. You can find them for 30$ when they get on sale. If you want a cheap addon to a USB handbrake, you can adapt a G29 shifter. If you really want to do one yourself, find a handbrake assembly in a breakyard and go from there. You are not going to beat 5mm thick 6060 aluminium with 3d printing though. Their master cylinder always go bad so I guess they removed it and replaced it with electronics for sim racers. The ebay/aliexpress handbrakes are actually structures from real cars, but ricer items. A hall sensor already wired to filters, with an i2c interface is going to cost half of that. The arduino you need for control is going to be 5$ + a cable. that you can mount somewhere and adjust well. Pots are sub 1$ units and you dont really want to use that, as they will require precise alignment and a strong structure. The fact is it wont be rigid enough, and the main cost is the structure. I hear you, i wanted to do the same, for similar reasons.
