    Hi Everybody.

    I have created some designs for 3d printed f1 Steering Wheels and I am trying to figure out the best way to incorporate the electronics.

    Up until now I have used a Leo Bodnar SLI-F1 unit in combination with a Z1 LCDinfo display.

    Ideally I would like to have only one cable connecting the pc to the wheel and i was wondering if i could do this by incorporating the USB hub board below into the wheel:

    My first design is now available for download if anyone is interested

    Very nice designs and 3D work you have made.

    I think this 4-port USB hub should work fine.
    It's pretty cheap too, so you will not have a great loss if it doesn't work.

    How much ports do you need? Maybe there are even smaller boards with 2 ports.
