hello VSteve and Dave

to start sorry for my bad english i'm french and i use google translation

I am very interested in your work I would like to know if it is possible to have the arduino code that you use waiting for your answer thank you in advance

I wrote sample sketch based on @VSteve's researching.

You can add you keypress processing and it's must work.

TH8A_FX.ino

Hello everyone, I registered in this forum precisely because of this project, I want to adapt the g27 shifter in Thrustmaster TX, I have an arduino leonardo. I edited the TH8A_FX.ino code to work with the g27, but when I plug the adapter in wheel to xbox one nothing happens. I tested with forza 7, horizon 2, horizon 4 demo, project cars 2 demo. Any idea where the problem is? Excuse my bad english I'm Brazilian.

Good to see my projekt is not in the garbage yet. 

Where is your problem? Implementing g27 's analog position to the code or connecting the hardware? 

Somewhere i have a code wich emulating shifting automatically. I mean that was used to shifting automatic in specific order in specified time. So I could tested connection between arduino and base. 

Then you can try arduino with two (gear one, and gear N) pushbutton connect to the base. 

Is this work?

Hello Steve, thank you very much for replying, I believe there may be some incompatibility between the code and the steering wheel. It is as if the steering wheel did not receive the commands. I'll leave my code attached. Soldered the wires in the wrong order?

(What type arduino do you use?) leonardo i see. Leonardo A4, A5 is not i2c port. Leonardo has two i2c port, do you take notice wich port do you use? 

First, try much more less complicated program.

Use serial debug. 

Do you understand th8a communication? 

Are you familiary g27 shifter hardware? 

 

I think don't you need g27 butons handle in your sketch. TM TX can't use them. 

In your sketch Where do you send i2c data to the base?

Hi again Steve, I have good news. I managed to make the G27 Shifter work on xbox one. It was thanks to your suggestion.

In arduino Leonardo the pins ic2 are in 2 (SDA), 3 (SCL). Worked perfectly.

I'm still working on my sketch so it's a bit polluted. It is a hybrid adapter for Xbox One and Pc, PS4 (for gimx), so I need the G27 buttons.

I also made a setup so that it works as sequential as the Th8a.

Again thank you very much for the help.

Wonderfull! I'm glad to see, it's working you. 

Could you send me your code?

Of course Steve. This is my current sketch, I made some notes for better understanding.

I have a hydraulic E-Brake converted already to a seq shifter, but, would like to connect it to the shifter port on the t300 via arduino nano

 

Does anyone have the wiring diagram for the sequential shifter connections ?  I have the INO file, and wiring diagram for the 6 pin DIN plug, but, I have no idea where I am supposed to be connecting the switches !

You can connect to anyone pin except for din plug. Just you need to correct ino file. 

Did you read this topic? if not do it....

Hi VSteve,

 

Yes, I have read through this post several times, but, I have not seen anything which answers my question. I am not good with code or programming, however, I am able to load a "ready to use" sketch, and have enough technical knowledge to wire up correctly, if I know what I am connecting to !  What I am looking for is an ino file that is ready to go and a wiring diagram showing me where I need to connect the switch wires.

 

 

 

 

[VSteve 13]

Hi manxracer! 

Great thing you could use a ready sketch file to program. Soldering the next thing. I'm sure you can do it. 

Now, you will read a lot about i2c communicating. Because base communicating whit th8a on i2c port by shifter din port. 

Then read about arduino input, output pins. Also learn where is i2c port on your arduino. 

Next time you will download test.ino and do a test with your base and your arduino. (when you will fried your base, i'm sorry it's not my fault) 

Some smart boy did it, and he could use various shifter on xbox one. 

I got you all the communication what I sniffed from din port. Also a gave you a basic ino file. Connecting your hardware is your turn.

MakenyGT got you a very good sample, use it. 

 Have a great day

Hello VSteve

I want to adapt my g27 shifter to emulate th8a as usb device

Can you dump usb descriptors from th8a, please?

Hello

I'm sorry alexxisr. I never used my shifter on usb port, I don't know where my usb cable. I only use it on my xbox.

Hello,

I did some tests using Arduino Leonardo and it was working very well. 

For next step, i tried to use the Arduino Leonardo (simulating TH8A) conected in Thustmaster SIM HUB, to use that simultaneously with TH8A Shifter.

However, after of the update of Thrustmaster TX and TH8A for the last version of firmware, i believe that someting was changed in the protocol communication to support Thustmaster SIM HUB connections.

So, Arduino Leonardo (simulating TH8A) doesn't works anymore. I was testing with TH8A_FX.ino dowloaded from this topic.

Someone could help me about that subjetc?

I dont have a sniffer to check the modifications in the TH8A protocol.

Thanks a lot.

Sebastião.

[VSteve 13]

Hi Sebastião

Are you sure your board working well? 

Can anybody else accept that new firmware has new protocoll? 

I'm moving to another haus, so I don't have much time, to sniff the new firmware protocoll. Maybe on the end of febr. 

I hope it's only a loosing contact. 

But it's the time to sniff the TM hub and the handbrake protocoll.

[VSteve 13]

Hi Sebastião! 

You are right. In a several hour earlyer I have been upgraded my TX base. (Was the v51, Now is the v54) Now my TH8A can't communicate with the base. 

And when I update TH8A's FW to the v27. It is working good. A made some analyse on the PS2 port here is the trick.

There is a sended similar 14 Byte on every 250 ms.

And one more, I made some analysis TSS Sparco handbrake. There is a similar i2c data.  Try send out

02 0C 02 00 FF 80 81 80 81 00 00 00 00 00

02 0C 02 00 8A 80 4D 80 4D 00 00 00 00 00

02 0C 02 00 82 80 4A 80 4A 00 00 00 00 00

02 0C 02 01 17 7F 20 7F 20 00 00 00 00 00

Hi to all. I apologize for my English right away. I'm from Poland. I came across this topic and would like to do so. I can't find the codes for the arduino bones
Can anybody help?
I already have a handbrake box done, everything is connected as in this post

[Soldera21 0]

Hi everyone. I'm building a custom shifter and handbrake for Thrustmaster TMX. I've based the shifter on the code you shared in this topic and it's really good working. Now I want to add also the handbrake via the same arduino and cable connected to the PS2 connector on the back of the wheel. I've seen that @VSteve made some analysis on the TSS Handbrake and I'm very interested in it. Could you give me some more details to send also the handbrake data via i2c to the wheel in addition to the shifter data? If you want more details just ask me.

Hi soldera21 

How is your code? Are your code send out on every 250ms the shifters code? Is it working?

It was a long Time ago when I analysed my TH8A. I don't know it's working yet or not.

Above TSS handbrake's i2c data mean about 0-100% brake force. Of corse you need to send out every row Maybe 100 times. Because of 250ms. Elsewere you won't See anything. 

Now you ready for analog read a potmeter, and put it on 5.-6. and 7-.8. byte

When it's working you Will be the Man who tray send out TSS 14byte data and TH8A 14 byte  data together.

I newer had TM SIM hub, so I couldn't test it.

Back on topic again. Is it possible to make a shifter and handbrake combined in a single entry? Do you have an example? I would love to build mine.
