DIY H-shifter CSL Elite

Hi,

This is my first post here. I have made my own h-shifter compatible with my Fanatec CSL Elite PlayStation edition.

Here is a short YouTube video that show it in action.

Beautiful, compact design. Thanks for sharing

Very nice. Considering building one, just cant source these locally:

• 1x MCP6N11-010E/SN-ND MCP6N11-010E
• 1x 223-1562-1-ND G-MRCO-037
• 2x 31-AH3574-P-ACT-ND AH3574-P-A

Any possible replacements?

Would this one make sense?

In theory this one works, but then you have to make your own electrical circuit solution. The output is either I2C or analog. The analog signal is PWM where you need to add a filter to smooth out the output. You will need to look for an angle sensor that uses a wheatstone bridge output. Resistors in the bridge should be magnetoresistive.

The 6N11 is an instrumental amplifier. You need to look for something where you can add an offset to the differential signal in order to get an output signal that go from about 0V to about 3.3V. There are probably many replacements, but choosing components is tedious work. I have selected components that work and can not promise that it will work with something else.

A replacement to G-MRCO-037 (a.k.a. KMT37) would be a sensor that measures the magnetic orientation using a wheatstone bridge. There are many out there, and it seem like many of them are pin compatible. You only need one with one sensor, but there are other that include two sensors in one IC and that would be OK as well.

The AH1807 can replace the AH3574. You need to look for a hallsensor switch that preferably have a smith trigger output. I is also preferable to have it omnipolar so that you do not need to care about the magnet orientation. It must be an open collector or open drain output.

If you send me a message I might be able to help you with components since I have some leftovers.

Thanks a lot
But still hard to find KMT37 (at least not without absurd shipping)
Oh I forgot to mention that I dont need it to be compatible with Fanatec gear.
Probably that broadens my options?
I would be using it together with a diy wheel I'm building, that uses EMC firmware (stm32 firmware that was recomended on the forum)
It essentially expects just X and Y potentiometer/hall signals, thats why I thought of the AS5600.
Any particular reason it would not work? Looks like it would be relatively simple to adapt it to the mechanical structure you designed.

Oh, then you can choose whatever you'd like. Then I actually encourage you to use the AS5600. It has all you need in one capsule and you can just mount any module you find with that chip onto the X-block.
