| u-hid and pedals, having issues |
| (1/1) |

hey guys, loving my u-hid, i did a complete rewiring of my panel and think this board is brilliant. i am having some issues with some pedals i'm trying to add and i am 100% confident that i'm not smart enough to figure this out. i have two sets of identical pedals, for P1 and P2. i have them wired up as such: P1 gas (red, black, white) P1 brake (red, black, green) P1 pedals share the red and black which i have wired to the u-hid on a 5v and ground pin respectively. white and green are each wired to two different pins on the u-hid, set up as axis 5 (slider) and axis 7 (slider). when i check the game device properties to test, gas is the Y rotation and brake is the slider. P1 pedals behaving perfectly, great! P2 gas (red, black, white) P2 brake (red, black, green) P1 pedals share the red and black which i have wired to the u-hid on the same 5v and ground pin that P1 pedals are wired to. white and green are each wired to two different pins on the u-hid, set up as axis 4 (slider) and axis 6 (slider). now here is the issue, when i check the game control properties. the brake pedal is fine, controlling only the X rotation. but the gas pedal is affecting the X and Y rotations, the slider and also the Z rotation slightly. i'm thinking it's because i am sharing the 5v/ground between both pedal sets but am not sure why that would cause this issue. pedals make my head hurt |

Pretty much certain that sharing the 5v/ground isn't the problem. Just to verify, you do have the 5v + ground on tabs 1 + 3 (or 3 + 1 to move the opposite direction) and the wiper (green or white) on tab 2, right? If you hook the multimeter to pins 1 and 3, you should see 5v at all times, even while pressing and releasing the pedal(s). Connect an analog multimeter* between pin 2 and ground to see if you have a smooth change in voltage as you press the pedal. * Due to the lag in sampling and displaying readings, digital multimeters will miss spikes and dropouts that an analog meter will catch.

Something which might cause this behaviour is having pins defined as analog axes which are not connected to anything. Can you check for this. Andy |
