Hi! I used 900sterringwheel to make a DYI steering wheel with throttles and shifter. The problem with that app is if I move the wheel to fast (eg.: in drifting games) it doesnt register a full rotation. if Im at +360 and I want to go fast at 0, when I reach 0 it still shows +360. the app will not see any update and I can`t find a source code so I searched for something similar. I found this app and it works great. I suggest you to add more degrees (a button to change the degrees in android or windows), custom sliders for any axis in vjoy and custom number of buttons. I would do it if I knew how to do it XD. This is the video of the Steering wheel I made: https://youtu.be/1qAqadeEioU

Hey, thanks for trying the app! For the new features:

• 360 degrees
  If I remember correctly, current app only has left+90, right+90. The app was meant to have phone held in hand, so I didn't consider 360 degrees when I was developing. But for using on actual steering wheel, it would be a nice feature. I'll try to implement it if I have time.
• slider controls
  This is a feature that other people mentioned as well. Now it may be a good time to implement it for next release.
• custom buttons/axis
  This sounds very challenging. The worry I have is how to fit those buttons in a phone screen? Maybe a text area to select button id and a button to hit press? Also I would need to refactor my code and add a socket channel for buttons and one for "adding button/axis" events. It is beyond the capability of xbox controller.

Anyway, I may have to wait until August to continue the development. At that time, I should have access to my personal Windows PC. Also, your handmade steering wheel is very cool! 😃

Thank you! I'll wait. And I will be available anytime to test it on my setup. I'm happy you liked my handmade steering wheel 😄.

Hey, sorry it's been quite a while now. I've added support of 360 degrees steering and slider controls in the latest release!

For customizable buttons/axes, unfortunately it won't be implemented.\ Reason being that to make it customizable, an user will need to configure vjoy, Windows app and Android app at the same time. And I wasn't able to figure out a reasonable UI design of this feature. I believe it is beyond the scope of this application.

For your case of a DIY steering wheel where you need potentially more buttons/axis, screen-based solutions may not be the best.\ Assuming you need remote control, consider to develop/find a networking server-client solution that doesn't have UI. e.g. Server is running on pc, able to configure vjoy driver and all button/axis mappings. Client will read signals from physical buttons/controllers and send them to server.
