Of course, we're all in the same boat of trying to figure it out. Our only
help is that Engineers are lazy and often reuse stuff they've done before.

Yes the Wii Wheel only does 0-7 and then loops too...

I actually meant to quantify the force produced and purchased a torque
meter, but its range wasn't low enough to be useful so I took it back. I
think I can do something with a 'luggage scale' pulling at a tangent to
the wheel so will give that a try.

My reverse engineer technique had a python-hid script so that I could
throw packets directly at the wheel to produce specific force setups. I
need to port this to python-libusb (as python-hid is dead), but that
should be relatively simple and can forward off list to anyone who wants a
copy.

If you figure codes out, I'd love to try them against my Wheel. I did have
a PS3 Driving Force Wireless, but fried it's micro whilst I was hooking
the BusPirate up to it.

This would work under Windows and playback various effects in test mode as
you pushed buttons - if anybody can grab some USB logs of this I can
attempt to parse them for the codes....
