The dongle contains a Cypress micro controller and nRF24L01 transceiver, the circuit is similar to [http://download.ourdev.cn/bbs_upload482478/files_14/ourdev_435383.jpg this]. The switch on the rear of the dongle is used to trigger a re-bonding, although the wireless link is not active until configured. The LED flashes initially to indicate 'not bonded' and then goes out when the link is established, it flashes briefly as data is received from the wheel.
−The wheel hardware contains the nRF24L01, a ATMEGA micro, and a PWM/Full-bridge driver for controlling the motor. The micro scans the [[:File:Logitech_usb_buttons.pdf|buttons]] mounted on the wheel, digitises the wheel/accelerator/brake positions and sends the data to the PC/Dongle.
The Logitech Speed Force Wireless Wheel system uses a USB dongle to connect to the wheel using a propriatory 2.4GHz wireless link. The wheel is intended to sit on one's lap and is powered by a 'wall wart'. The wheel has a 270 degree 'swing', has D pad, 7 buttons and 2 analogue paddles on the rear of the wheel.

This wheel is currently (Sept 2010) on clearance for less than $10, an obvious attraction to the hard-core hacker. This page describes the protocol to assist in making this wheel work with other systems. This wheel is extremely similar to the PS2/PS3 Driving Force Wireless wheel, so the information is expected to apply to that too...
