This project is a DIY hardware project and it's a replica of the FANATEC™ PODIUM KILL-SWITCH.
The purpose of this project is to create a perfect replica of the FANATEC™ product, with the exact same features but a much cheaper price.
Thanks to this box, It's possible to turn ON and OFF the DD1 / DD2 base comfortably.
Furthermore, with the emergency button, the power supply can be switched off immediately in case of danger.
This DIY project is way cheaper than the official one.
Also, no line of code or an arduino is needed, because the DD1 / DD2 (ECU) manages everything automatically.
- Comfortably and remotely turn ON / OFF your Fanatec™ DD1 / DD2, without having to reach the button at the rear of the wheelbase.
- Instantly turn OFF the power using the emergency button in case of problems with the Wheel Base.
- Thoose are the same Features of the Official "Podium Kill Switch" by Fanatec™.
