Mario kart 8 inspired racing wheel and pedals

Former Member

First of all huge fan of the show. I know mario kart 8 has been out for awhile, but I love the series and so does my family. I've had the idea for awhile to create a steering wheel that uses the wiimote, but had external buttons for the gas and brake pedal. Other buttons could be used such as item button and possibly sync and home and drifting. My skills are very beginner, but I'm getting better. I would appreciate some help on the schematics and for design component. Thank you

    What I was thinking was using a steering from an arcade or gaming setup and somehow mounting the wiimote to it. The wiimote would be moddEd to have the external buttons being wired to a molex connector or a cat 5 jack. The pedals would use microswitches that connect to the cat 5 jack, so that when the switch is pushed it sends signal to wiimote buttons as if you were pressing them on the controller. I'm still lost on how to mod the steering wheel and how to make the pedals. I've seen the ones Ben heck has made, they great, but I'm new and don't have the array of tools he has.
