Hi! Been some time!
Anyway I have a quite complicated question!
Is it possible to use Makecode Hardware (Microbit, Meowbit,…) as an input device for PC and to display data from games?
Basically I want to use this to use a micro/meowbit for simracing! I want it to display things like current gear, track condition (flags), speed and more! Also I want to use it for a small buttonbox to do things like start the car, parking brake,…
I have seen some things that let you use the microbit as a keyboard and a way to send messages from the pc to the microbit via microbit python!
Problem is: I havent actively coded for 2 years and I am not smart enough for that!
I know that some games give out such data and software like Simhub makes it possible to use your phone as a dashboard to do basically just what I want!
But doing that with a meowbit would revolutionize dashboards as dashboards made for simracing cost 150$+ which is a lot for “just” a screen and some lights! If the same could be done with a 35$ meowbit!
(also a potential business idea “MicroDash”) Theres also gear displays which remind me a lot of the microbit!

If you have any suggestions or ideas how to make that possible please go ahead and tell me!
Good to be somewhat back!
Cya!
