Logitech steering wheel controlled stroker

[lackis]

Made a node.js script to control movement of a Logitech G29 steering wheel.

Requires node.js and the package logitech-g29.

Working surprisingly well. Moves less sporadic when in use and friction is higher.



Features
Change settings with keyboard

Drift left or right (a, q), helps it stay in place

Amplitude/length of move (left, right)

Interval of full move (up, down)

Presets (1-7) that sets both amplitude and interval

Sanity check on values

lmao what an absolute madman, hope it works well for you!

I take that as a compliment

I have been seeing FunScripts being mentioned on this site and decided to try to use that. With MultiFunPlayer sending commands over a local network connection I managed to filter them enough for my script to understood. Far from perfect as I can not control fixed positions, but at least intervals increasing and decreasing in length and stopping for sections.
