The SimuCUBE wireless wheel system enables users to connect sim wheels wirelessly to the SimuCUBE force feedback controller. The sim wheel buttons and incremental encoders are connected to a wireless button plate logic module, which communicates with SimuCUBE force feedback controller’s wireless adapter via Bluetooth. The SimuCUBE controller in turn communicates these button and encoder state changes via USB to the user’s PC.

Basic operating principle:

  • Button plate manufacturers integrate the button plate wireless module in their designs simply by plugging the module to their PCB connector board and configuring the module with provided button plate configuration tool. The button plate configuration tool is introduced later in this document.
  • Customers connect the wireless button plate to their SimuCUBE controller by simply pressing both paddle shifters simultaneously
  • The current SimuCUBE version needs an add-on receiver board (SimuCUBE Wireless Adapter, sold separately) to interface with these wireless button plate transmitter modules
  • The next generation SimuCUBE versions will have this receiver module embedded in their design

Button plate module features

  • Connect up to 28 input devices, or 5 encoders + 18 buttons wirelessly to Simucube force feedback controller
  • Incredibly low energy consumption. Single battery will last over 3 years on daily hard-core use.

Simucube wireless adapter

  • Wireless wheel support may be added to all existing Simucube boards by plugging in a wireless receiver on the SC board (receiver sold separately)
  • Plug an adapter to the SER-DISP header in Simucube force feedback controller board

Button plate usage

  • Turn on by inserting a battery and / or from switch
  • Button plate module goes into discovery mode, and it's status led starts to blink rapidly. The button plate can be found only when in discovery mode.
  • Find and connect to your button plate from Simucube configuration software
  • The status led blinks 3 times in
  • Wake up from paddles
  • Disconnect from paddles
  • Do not have paddles pressed for a long time

Simucube tuner wireless settings

  • Find button plate
  • Scan
  • Connect
  • Disconnect
  • Forget
