Boards in hand. Just threw on heat sinks. I really hope to test this weekend.

So I went to go look at wiring it up.. and realized it’d be easier to use existing wiring. I’ve got a bunch of wiring harnesses from my Tekken 3/SmashTV that will work for most connections and I bought a JAMMA breakout board to wire up everything else to the JAMMA harness.

I spent a good 3 hours looking at the wiring diagram for the cabinet to map what is going to where. I also realized I’m gonna need a new 24V power supply for the motor, so I ordered that. i
It’s in Tuesday, and I hope to be able to test out steering, the shifter, pedals, audio (via the 2 audio amps I bought) and FFB on Tue evening after work. Stay tuned.

I just finished testing the L2Happ board:

It works!! Kinda. -- When running the force feedback tests the wheel moves but not the way I would expect. I didn't hook up the steering pot yet, and I think some of these (Spring, etc) need the pot hooked up so the software knows where the wheel is. I'm going to be working on that over the next few days. But it works. Getting there...

Got the steering pot hooked up. Now all of the effects in FFBPluginGui work properly.

nipsmg:
Still working some of the kinks out of the system, and waiting for my jamma breakout to start wiring up the buttons. But I did get a chance to secure everything down to a board and route some wires cleanly. This is going to make it much easier to work on without everything sliding all over the table. I have another 24v power supply coming in sat, that goes just to the right of the other one for the audio amps.. beyond that, I'm waiting for some couplers, and I really just need to get things wired up.
