Evolution of my GT/Rally universal plate tailored more for GT cars. Now it has LEDs, toggle switches, more buttons and D-Pads.
It is relatively easy project to print and assemble. REV lights are cut out from aRGB 144 LED per meter strip.
This particular design was made to work with my Fanatec emulator, so features only buttons + REV lights, controlled directly from wheelbase.
I am working on extension of the project that will feature rotaries and Funky switches, quite possibly dual clutch as well.
Horn delete plate you can find in the original project. Most of the buttons have trim for better look.
