    Hi I'm making a diy simulator for playstation 4 using the joystick plugin to control the motors based on the wheel. I'm not sure how I would connect the parts to the wheel. I don't have the arduino or wheel yet, but I'm getting the HORI Racing Wheel and Arduino Uno Rev 3

    The Joystick plugin allows an existing peripheral to be used for input, it does not need an arduino.

    Thank you for letting me know that, but how do I connect my wheel to sim tools for it?

    See the plugin page: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/joystick-plugin.127/

    How to use:
    Run GameManager in Admin mode.
    Select the "game" Joypad.
    Patch by selecting the installation directory of SimTools.
    The patch installs a program "SimTools_Joystick.exe" and "SimTools_Joystick_Recorder.exe". These programs do nothing than trigger SimTools to read the Joystick values.
    Run GameEngine & GameEngine.
    Run SimTools_Joystick.exe or – if you watn to record the data – run SimTools_Joystick_Recorder.exe.
    Play with your joystick and observe the values in TuningCenter.

    You can also run a simulation/game in parallel. However certain games (like Codemasters and LFS) must be unpatched first.
