This was a fun build. I got to utilize a old xbox 360 controller and a LED touch light.

Stay tuned ill have a build video soon.

Sure. It's just a button box I created for American truck simulator so that I can have things like a keyed ignition and various buttons to map for in game use. Utilizing a old Xbox 360 controller I was able to attach leads to the buttons pads and use the controller in place of a USB encoder. I run simhub with a custom dash from my phone and the lighting is for ambiance and function. My cab is kinda dark so there are times where having a light is very handy.

Oh damn that's cool. I love ATS. Haven't played in a while though, the steering wheel is in the back of a closet lol.

Ah now I realize the Peterbilt logo is right on the thing haha Maybe I shouldn't drive after all.
