Problem Can't assign arduino controller?

Does Raceroom support arduino controllers? I have built a custom steering wheel using an arduino board, but Raceroom does not seem to recognize it. I don't have this issue with any other racing sim.

Thanks

 

What happens if you try to bind controls?

 

Yes. I've had several Arduino based wheels on the past. All shown up as normal controllers and been bindable in game.

 

When I click on the bind button and then move the wheel back and forth or move the pedals, they don't seem to be recognized at all.

 

Wheel needs to be full inputs , click bind left turn max left repeat

That's not it, I've been turning to the max. Also, none of the buttons or shifters will bind either, and those are all just momentary on/off switches. Is there a controller file that I could try to manually edit to see if that would work? Again, the controller works in IRacing, RFactor 2, ACC, Assetto Corsa, Automobilista 2, and F1 2020. Doesn't make any sense why RaceRoom won't recognize it.

 

Do you have anything else connected that's also registered in Windows as a FFB device? It was recently found that Raceroom only allows one FFB device to be detected/bound.

Your current control sets are stored here as .rcs files: Documents\My games\SimBin\RaceRoom Racing Experience\UserData\ControlSet
Default control sets are stored here: Steam\SteamApps\common\raceroom racing experience\Game\GameData\ControlSet
Every control set (except for keyboard and kb/mouse) has a device ID in them somewhere in the middle, or several IDs if several devices are bound (like a wheel base, a wheel and pedals).

 

My wheel is not FFB. It's just a basic wheel with a potentiometer and 8 buttons. Never used a FFB wheel in the past either.

 

I guess there's something wrong or unconventional with how your wheel identifies in Windows, or maybe Raceroom is picky...

I have a custom button box built on a board often called "Zero Delay Arcade USB Encoder", in Windows it identifies as "Generic USB Joystick" and the game detects it and you can bind it (funnily enough it's detected as "Raceroom wired controller"). The board itself (without all the wires) costs like 2 dollars, maybe you can buy it to do some experimenting with it. You can also mod it to enable analog inputs (by default it's all digital, on/off): https://www.instructables.com/Zero-Delay-USB-Encoder-True-Analog-Joystick-Modifi/

 

Thanks for that link. I have a couple of those boards knocking about unused. Didn't know they could do analogue. I generally use Leo bodnar boards in my projects. Not the cheapest but very small and reliable.
