What will you first thinking about, if someone ask you, “What is your favorite online racing simulator?” Well, unbelievably, 8/10 racing fans will spontaneously speak out this “Live For Speed” game!

This also indicated that LFS is the most famous online racing simulator game amongst the others.

If there a simple method to double the fun here, would you want to give it a shoot?

Ok, here is the components/firmware you might need:

  • 32 button game device
  • 26 standard push buttons and 4 rotary encoders
  • The 7-segment display and with up to 40 LEDs
  • The RPM gauges
  • 4 analog axis for handbrake, clutch and pointer device
  • Graphic LCD support

First thing first, you must have a hardware programmer to write the bootloader to the Chip. Since many modern PC LPT’s have lower voltage, be sure to check your LPT port for precaution.

Then, connect the 12V and 5V to the PC power supply pins or other stable power supply with 12V and 5V respectively. Since the programmer doesn’t has any socket, you need a PCB which equipped with ICSP connector for attach the simple PCB layout. [link]
