I came up with this control box design to connect up to 4 rumble motors and 2 fans with SimHub. I opted to use 4-pin fan cable extensions to connect rumble motors and fans.
The hardware bill of materials:
- 1x Arduino UNO R3 (preferably original one to avoid driver issues with Windows 11+)
- 1x Adafruit Motorshield v2
- A bunch of 4-pin fan extension cables
- 1x DC Power Jack 5.5 X 2.1mm
- 1x Power supply depending on your rumble motor or fan selection - I chose this 9V2A to connect 4 XBOX 360 controller rumble motors (no fan). Remember to unplug the jumper from the motor shield. If you also want to connect fans, make sure to match the rumble motor and fan motor voltages and get a big enough power supply.
Pedal Rumble Motor Mounts
Depending on your pedals and rumble motor selection, you need different mounts.
Here are some directions - but make sure they fit the rumble motors you got. I went with the XBOX 360 controller rumble motors.

Wind Simulators
There are a bunch of wind simulator designs available. Find my design here. I can recommend the Noctua NF-A14 - but be aware that the voltage is incompatible with most rumble motors.
