MANX TT - Super bike - from Sega motorcyle Cab. force feedback PC/xbox Hack ?

<< < (3/5) > >>

rmwilson:
Does any one know what to look for or how to fix the motor in the base of the Manxtt DX - I have one and it started making a horrendous noise and now its not working at all .. I have not opened it up yet but trying to get a sense of what i am looking for....

rmwilson:
I am trying to find out what are all the voltages that come out of the power supply for a MANx Tt
Any one have any technical / service data not in the manual ?

MANX TT uses a standard Model 2 power supply... so +5V and +12V and that's it. it's pretty typical. it's listed in the manual and you can verify it with a multimeter if you like.

I'm not sure why you're asking but FWIW the motor doesn't use the power supply. Typically (no idea if MANX does this but this is how most arcade motor controllers work that I've seen) those have a transformer that connects to AC to drop down the voltage and then the motor control board does the AC/DC conversion.

twistedsymphony- thanks for your response... I have a full machine (manx dx) but i was looking to part out the cabinets - ( that have power supply and boards in them) as i was just going to keep the bike and try and interface that to a pc or a console. I was trying to figure out what the two motors were and what they operate of ( voltage wise) so I could keep that information handy - ideally i want to hand it over to a school as  a student project to find away to interface with the existing motors in the Manx tt base of the bike - I really dont have enough knowledge about the motors how they  operate and what controls them ... but the hope/ thinking is if i could take the single from game pad (console) rumble motors and pipe that signal into the motoes in the base I'd be rock'in !! :)

twistedsymphony:
Rumble motors are completely different than force feedback or positional motors... making a physical interface work isn't difficult but the type of data is unrelatable.

rumble motors have non-directional intensity
forcefeedback or positional motors like that on Manxx motors have a directional intensity

Trying to make rumble motor signals control a positional motor is like trying to figure out how old someone is by asking their mother's name. it can't really be done because the information you need simply isn't there.

based on what you were posting earlier I thought you were trying to interface it using data from a force feedback wheel, not rumble motors.... A FFB wheel and a properly supported game will have the data you need, but you wont get that with a normal controller's rumble feature.
