Application programming interface for Simucube Link devices
Simucube Link API
The Simucube Link API gives developers precise, programmable pipeline to Simucube and Simucube Link -compatible hardware. It’s the foundation for next-generation sim racing innovation.
Simucube Link API (SC api)
What is it?
The Simucube Link API takes force feedback and telemetry integration to a deeper level.
It communicates in exact SI-units instead of relative or abstract values—creating a transparent pipeline between Simucube hardware and sim racing software.
The result: more precise, higher-quality feedback with less delay. Drivers experience physics exactly as the developers intended. It also opens a space for technical creativity, enabling new applications and integrations that go beyond what exists today.
We have already gathered insights from engineers in automotive simulation, motorsport teams, and sim industry developers, but your input is also valuable.
Commit to the future of sim racing
Join the development
The Simucube Link API is still in its early stages, and now is your turn to shine. If you are a developers, in a team, or an enthusiast, you are invited to explore the alpha, share feedback, and propose new use cases.
If you want updates on releases, documentation, or testing opportunities, sign up below.
You’ll be among the first to try new builds and help shape the tools that drive the next generation of sim racing systems.
Simucube Link API (sc-api)
What it is today
Description
The Simucube Link API (sc-api) is an alpha-stage programmable interface for interacting with Simucube hardware and Tuner software.
Purpose: Generate force feedback effects and retrieve device and telemetry data.
Implementation: Written in C++17, available on Windows.
State: Alpha release (June 2025).
Roadmap: First stable release (v1.0) targeted for early 2026 with API/ABI compatibility.
Current state
Device information:
Access static data (IDs, mappings, hardware limits) via BSON and shared memory.
Telemetry:
Real-time variable data with sub-millisecond latency (signal differences under 2 ms).
Effect pipelines:
Custom force-feedback generation (up to 20 kHz) for ActivePedal, including offset types and aggregation with built-in effects.
Device support:
- ActivePedal: Full pipeline and effect support.
- Wireless wheels / Simucube Link Hubs: Basic info.
- Simucube 2: Limited (info only).
Dev context
Issues and feature requests are managed via GitHub.
Contributions are welcome; the core/ directory is protected as it’s imported from internal sources.
The first alpha release was confirmed in June 2025, with progress toward a Early 2026 stable build.
Foundation of the Simucube Link platform
The vision ahead
The Simucube Link API will evolve from a single-device SDK into the foundation of the Simucube Link platform—a unified, programmable environment for all Simucube devices.
Universal control
One stable API for telemetry, setup, and feedback.
Open design
A gateway for developers, sim teams, and hardware/software creators.
Innovation enabler
Opens possibilities for AI coaching, remote tuning, dashboards, and more. Things we can’t imagine yet, but you can.
Future-ready
Planned cross-platform expansion, multi-language bindings, and compatibility with future Simucube devices.
One-Click Race vision
Seamless starts where every device, profile, and setup syncs instantly.
