Active Pedal Control: adjusting pedals from a touchscreen
Active Pedal Control is a SimHub touchscreen dashboard for DIY force-feedback pedals. It brings clutch, brake and throttle settings and presets together on one display.
Two layouts, the same controls
The repository provides Basic V1.0 and GT1 V1.0 layouts designed at 1920 × 1080. Basic uses a simple presentation; GT1 uses a motorsport-inspired layout. Both expose the same controls and functions.
Available adjustments
Each pedal has its own page for minimum and maximum travel, preload, maximum force and effects such as ABS, RPM, acceleration, wheel slip and road impact. A gauge shows pedal input. The Configs page applies up to five presets to the selected pedal.
The ActivePedalBridge plugin
The dashboards communicate through ActivePedalBridge and the pedal plugin already loaded in SimHub, either DiyFfbPedal.dll or DiyActivePedal.dll. They do not bypass that plugin to control hardware directly, so the existing pedal plugin remains necessary.
Installation
GitHub Releases provides a Windows installer and separate dashboards and plugin files for manual installation. The README explains both methods and the relevant SimHub folders. The images below show the two interfaces available in the repository.
