(1/13) > >>

Brian74:
I got my hands on a happ wheel to hack. I know I need a brush type amp but which one? I havent found any that sharkfactor used. Therr ade a bunch of different models on Ebay but they have like 10 dip switches. Any help would be great!

BadMouth:
Pretty much any one that can handle more than 6 AMP will work.

Some info on mine in this thread:
Advanced Motion Controls 30A8T

Check out Brad808's build:

(I think he mentions the model he used somewhere in there)

Probably some useful info in mbasile's thread also:

There is an issue with centering feedback causing a constant wobble.
Some have worked it out by turning centering feedback way down in each game until it goes away.
Some have never been able to get it good enough for their liking.
I'm determined to find a solution, but am busy building a standard cab at the moment.

Just so you know what to expect ahead of time.

+1 on everything badmouth said. I also used the 30a8t. It's unfortunate that so many people are having problems with the "wobble". I believe another person  on these boards that has been able to get it working properly is Scottoking. I have a hard time searching on my cellphone but I believe that the two of us both used the original logitech driving force (no ex, no pro, etc). Not really sure if it makes a difference but if you haven't picked up a donor it might be a consideration. One day I might get ambitious and try to make up a guide with pics and videos showing the entire hack and setup of the amc to try and help the rest of the guys see where they might have done something different. Once you get it working properly it is a pretty sweet thing 8)

Thats for the info guys! One thing I love about this site is there is always someone you can turn to for help  :applaud: I bought a logitech wingman formula force gp way back when. So I am going to try to use that as a donor. It works with pc and ps3. One of the problems with it is that it only has 6 buttons. So to try to cover all the buttons I need I got a wired ps3 controller. One good thing about this wheel is that the button have common ground and are wired with small gauge wire, not ribbon. I bought 50k and 100k pot and tried them out already. They seem to work fine. I will have to mod them a bit to make them fit. But hey, if this was easy everyone would do it. I also bought a VGA to RGBS/CGA/AV/S video PC to arcade jamma game monitor adapter. My plan was to use the 29 inch monitor in there but the burn in is too bad. So I will be using a 26 led lcd.

Brian74:
Couple other questions. Power supply  :banghead: I have ready ppl using different voltage and different ps. So what is a person to use?  :dunno I just ordered my amc and I think i got it from the same guy on ebay as you 2 did.  :laugh2: My other question is the vr buttons. Is it possible to wire them up the way they are or am I going to have to replace the buttons? For the lights I have 2 pac-drives I plan on using for the vr buttons and a little under glow.
