[DIY][in progress] Adapter - converting almost any USB periphery into fanatec-compatible

In continuation for [https://www.reddit.com/r/simracing/comments/1tidla0/logitech\_hpattern\_hacked\_to\_work\_with\_ps5\_on/](https://www.reddit.com/r/simracing/comments/1tidla0/logitech_hpattern_hacked_to_work_with_ps5_on/)

In addition to previously wired Logitech H-Pattern I wired Logitech sequential shifter (trivial), and Logitech handbrake (there were couple of problems caused by not always reliable information in the internet)

Then I was like, okay, that works , what to do next... Though about it a little and decided to also wire pedals.

I have Simnet Pro set now and Simnet Pros already have fanatec-compatible interface, however I still wired Simnets through the same adapter hardware just because I felt like it. As a bonus we now have digital signal from pedals to the wheel base and that signal just pushes numbers from original device axis without unnecessarily converting those into analog signal and back.

What does that whole setup means?

Replacing source USB device is pretty trival action (map device ID and available buttons / axis reported by HID profile to certain adapter actions); And the biggest win for me is that you can now use PS-compatible Fanatec wheelbase on console with almost any combination of shifters, handbrakes and pedals.

P.S. Hopefully it all goes to github with all the juicy details once it's more or less done.
