    Did some more work on my rim. Added two en11 encoders with button. So the button count is two encoders 12 buttons and two paddles. I also upgraded the led status indicator. Red is charging, green is fully charged and blue is bluehid power on. I remove the onboard leds on the adafruit ADA1904 charger and replaced with wired low voltage leds. I also just added a blue to 5v and ground. Bluehid has built in resistors on some of the pins for leds.

    I was getting this issue where my osw would loose FFB for a second then kick back in. usually through turns or heavy steering. I tried switching usb ports, messing with granity etc. but nothing seemed to work. So after a little looking I noticed I was two releases from the current firmware I was using 1100, or version 1.5.4. They are now on code 1104 or version 1.5.6. So I loaded up the new firmware ... problem fixed. just an FYI in case anyone else is experiencing any hicups.

    New project showed in the mail today. Its obviously used but got a good deal. Its a mod 12c 250mm. So small. Formula and karts are what it is intended for.

    Just got done with a kart session in automobilista. Yeah it's tiny but so far it feels pretty good. Adding paddles later as I'm having fun with it for now.

    The mod 12c with new plate and new shifter design. Ty you know who for the shifter drawings.

    6 buttons
    2 rotary encoders with momentary switch
    2 shifters
    On this one because of the small size the shifter and button plate are separated. The shifter plate has the shifters mounted at an angle with offset paddles.

    It must have been something with my computer cause I downloaded the mmos tool with my laptop and moved it with thumb drive now it works perfectly
