Simtezilo

by @vwhitteron

For a while now I've been working on an open source haptics engine for Gran Turismo 7 that also does some pit radio feedback as well. It currently outputs a bass shaker audio signal for chassis bump, engine vibration (loosely based on engine geometry) and gear change events. I also have wind simulation in the works as well. I didn't want to run a Windows host for any of the existing solutions so have targeted the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 however the app does compile to Linux, MacOS and Windows so it can run on anything. For the wind simulation I'm playing with an ESP32 based PWM controller which connects over Bluetooth using a custom GATT profile. I've mentioned it here and there online but have yet to see anyone actually use it other than myself. https://www.simtezilo.com
