Jaleco F-1 Super Battle physical Steering wheel connection
« on: January 03, 2014, 12:45:29 pm »
I started working on this rebuild a couple of years ago, stopped, and am trying to pick it up again.

I replaced the monitor in the cabinet.  So I had to remove the steering wheel.  The steering worked fine, I thought before I took it apart.

There is a large molex plug that connects the steering to the PCB, there are also 2 wires - a blue and a red - that are not connected now.  When I plug it up with the blue and red not connected - the steering now doesn't work.

What do you mean with "the steering doesn't work"? You refer to the FFB or to the steering?

Those two wires go to the feedback motor and are used to juice it. Is the wheel working (i mean, when you turn the wheel, the car turns)?

You should definitely test the inputs via the PCB/game menu

The physical wheel turns, but the car doesn't turn in the game.  When you go to the menu screen it does not move the selection.

Does the power have to be plugged in - those two wires for the motor feedback - for the input from the physical wheel to work in the game?

I know it was working at one point under my care, so I wouldn't imagine the reason for the inoperable nature to be significantly difficult to resolve.

What is an FFB?  (I've got an Offroad that I'm gonna work on next, I've got to get the driving game knowledge flowing.)

ok, you have a connection problem then: maybe your connector is upsidedown, or you connected the wheel to the wrong connector (assuming that it was working as you said) or something has come loose. Double check the hardware you touched

no. If you don't connect the motor you loose the FFb effect (force feedback) but not the car in-game should steer, if everithing is connected ok
