STEERING
WHEEL INTERFACE.
A custom PCB steering wheel that brings essential vehicle controls directly to the driver and integrates with the wider electrical system.

/ 01 — HARDWARE
A driver interface,
built from the board up.
The steering wheel was designed as custom hardware for OWL’s Racing, combining the physical driver interface and its underlying electronics into one vehicle-ready subsystem.
The PCB form factor organizes the controls and circuitry around the constraints of a compact steering assembly while remaining serviceable and straightforward to integrate.
/ 02 — SYSTEM INTEGRATION
Designed for
the whole car.
The steering wheel did not remain an isolated electronics project. It became one of the custom subsystems incorporated into OR27’s vehicle-wide electrical architecture and fully CAD-designed harness.
That progression—from the GCU, to the steering interface, to the complete harness—shows an expanding scope from individual controller design to system-level vehicle integration.
