USB force feedback device

Hi all

I have build a steering wheel for use with simulators on windows :

the controller is an Arduino Leonardo and i have written a usb hid descriptor so the controller
is recognized as a multi axes joypad in windows.
The force feedback datas are sent via virtual serial port to arduino with a python plugin that runs within the simulator because it's very difficult to have Arduino Leonardo recognized as force feedback device and use standard usb interface for force feedback.

It's possibile to build a USB force feedback device with an Olimex product ?
Which one ?
Someone had success with this kind of solution ?
I have had a request for 10 steering wheels from other users on a sim forum so i can pay for a working solution. :-)

Thank you

Theoretically, yes, every device with a supported USB OTG port can be turned into USB HID class device via Linux HID Gadget device driver.
