@fk_tech shoved my nose on Monocoque today, which appears to become an alternative to Simhub: Cross Platform device manager for driving and flight simulators, for use with common simulator software titles. It supports e.g. bass shakers, tachometers, simlights, simwind through USB and Arduino serial.
And it works on Linux PC: https://github.com/Spacefreak18/monocoque
See a demo on https://www.youtube.com/live/GVghB4aMEmY by @fk_tech
I also jumped into their Matrix room (#simracer:matrix.org) and they seem like a friendly bunch too.
Mebbe worth to keep on the radar.
Edith says: Shorter videos to get the gist:
I tried to get it setup and running and was able to get it’s test functions to work sort of, but could never data from AMS2 to monocoque. Hopefully the project grows, an easy to use native option would be very nice.
In the end I was able to setup SimHub to run easily enough. Ended up installing dotnet48 with winetricks and SimHub into my AMS2 prefix, and with SteamTinkerLaunch, I have it run and inject SimHubWPF.exe. In order for things to work right I had to use Proton 9 and SimHub 9.4.1, newer versions ran but nothing would output to my bass shaker. Here’s a nice guide someone put up https://lemmy.world/post/18288064
Mono = 1
