Yes, but it requires some additional resistors. The [Sim Racing Shifter Shield](https://github.com/dmadison/Sim-Racing-Shields/) I designed supports all three shifters, as does its included firmware. Take a look at the schematic for reference.

### Why is the power LED off for my G25 / G27 adapter? How do I turn it on?
26+

The power LED is controlled separately, and isn't required for the adapter to function (which is why it's not included in the tutorial video).

The control pin for the power LED is DE-9 pin 5. If you connect that pin to ground (GND) on the Arduino, the LED will always be on. If you connect that pin to one of the Arduino's I/O pins and pass the pin number to the shifter object's constructor, you can control its state using the `SimRacing::LogitechShifterG27::setPowerLED(bool)` function.

On the G25, I would recommend adding a 100 Ohm resistor in series so that the power and sequential mode LEDs are similar in brightness. You can add a series resistor on either shifter to reduce the brightness of the LED.

### Can I make a USB adapter with both a shifter and pedals?

Yes! Although you'll need to get your hands a little dirty with the code.
