Single Axis pots & A-PAC

<< < (2/3) > >>

jkl:
By comparing my diagram with single axis example it seems to me that I have pin 1 of the second pot going to electronics.
All other wiring seems the same to me.
Those 4 wires go through a DB9 port into the main wheel unit.
On that pcb I identified the two separate wipers, that I connected with my interface.
On of that is GND, other is VCC.
Could it be a dual axis setup with inverted axis for accel and brake maybe?

What I can't get is why on the SEGA I/O JVS interface the wipers are seen as single "ADx" potentiometer (wheel is AD0, accel AD1, brake AD2).

Even more confused...  :dunno ???

PL1:
The two pots are wired in parallel. (dual-axis)

Since they are mounted with the shafts facing opposite directions, the wires for tabs 1 and 3 on one potentiometer are swapped on the other to reverse the axis.

Pot 1 turns clockwise from 1 (gnd) to 3. (5v)

Pot 2 turns counter-clockwise from 3 (gnd) to 1. (5v)

Pot 1
Tab 1 - Black (goes to Pot 2, Tab 3)  * Probably ground
Tab 2 - Green (Wiper)
Tab 3 - Red (goes to Pot 2, Tab 1) and Brown  ** Probably 5v

Pot 2
Tab 1 - Red (goes to Pot 1, Tab 3) ** Probably 5v
Tab 2 - Yellow (Wiper)
Tab 3 - Black (goes to Pot 1, Tab 1) and White  * Probably ground

Ok thanks,
I got it running.
Using a software utility that combines physical devices into one virtual device through vJoy I was able to have it working correctly with Model2 and Supermodel emulators, even adjusting sensitivity and dead zone.  :cheers:

Have to sort out how can I have my setup working with PC games...
Outrun2006 recognize the virtual joystick but - very strangely - it disables completely the "esc" key, so I can setup the controls but cannot come back to main menu...  :banghead:
Sega All star racing transformed doesn't recognize virtual joystick at all and so it's impossible configure it since APAC is shown as 2 different devices...  :hissy:

Search this forum for Outrun2006 setup issues.  The problem is probably that the button the game wants you to press for "select" after mapping the controls is different than the button you use for select in every other screen.

Sega All Star Racing Transformed only accepts x-input (xbox360) controllers.
You can use x360ce for it.  It requires some special "hook" settings.  See the x360ce site for those.

Thanks Badmouth!
Could I ask you if you point me in the right direction here about Outrun issues?
Strange thing is that if I connect A-PAC the "esc" key seems to be disabled even if I choose keyboard as controller.
Without A-PAC it works, even with 360 pad connected and working...

Many thanks,
JKL
