    Greetings all!
    This is my first post and i would like to say hi to all of you
    and thank you for all the great information shared on this forum.
    I will introduce myself later on the proper thread.

    I have a logitech DFGT which has no clutch and a
    thrustmaster RGT with clutch.
    The thrustmaster wheel was broken beyond repair and
    when i moved i lost it and left only with the pedals.
    I would love to use the pedals on my DFGT cause i need the clutch
    but there is no combatibility.
    I also made an H-shifter using a wireless gamepad and it works great.
    I was thinking if there is a possible way to connect the pedals either to the gamepad H shifter (saitek p2900), or directly on the DFGT.
    Any ideas?

    need to test carefully on the signal needed for the pedal, if they are compatable , same sort of signal, most use a 5v signal passed through a pot. Then it would be a mater of making an adaptor cable, mmm idea might be feasiable.
    Most pedals are just pots feeding a signal back to the board, same as what is in a game pad analog stick or triggers.

    @Kangelos if you have analog sticks or another gamepad with analog stick, a friend of mine has made a interesting solution few years ago, he conected his additional clutch pedal with a string attached to one of the analog sticks on controller, so when he press a pedal the stick is moving simultaneously with it. It was funny but efficient and low cost solution for making a clutch :)
