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! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/1/1ac9fa587547a92aa5b7233adec6c669b141f791.jpeg) (Picture from etsy) If you have any suggestions or ideas how to make that possible please go ahead and tell me! Good to be somewhat back! **Cya!** ---

Good to have you back! I have no idea how you would do this but I’m pretty sure it should be somewhat possible
