PS3 wheel/pedals interfacing with LabVIEW

Hey guys,

 

I am having a tough time interfacing a PS3 gaming wheel/pedals with LabVIEW. The wheel uses a USB to connect, and is recognized by the computer just fine.

 

However, I am trying to find a way to take data from the wheel such as current wheel position, and how much the gas or brakes are being applied.

 

In the past, I've gotten a joystick to interface with LabVIEW through the use of a VI I believe was called "Initialize Joystick.vi, which I found somewhere on the NI website. However, when running the same old VI setup with the steering wheel plugged in, I recieve an error.

 

Any ideas of how I can get the wheel to interface with LabVIEW? Should I be using the same joystick VI's? (I'll try to post screenshots of the VI and where the error is coming from when I get the chance.) 

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi danross4,

you can use the "Query Input Devices.vi" to check if you see the connected device.

 

Hope it helps.

Mike

Search for the Wiimote thread and that code might give you some ideas.
