Hi, Does anybody know of a good, "off the shelf" solution for a forced feedback steering wheel that will be used in a high volume situation? The usual Logitech, MS stuff isn't durable enough.
I actually have HAPP's Active Steering Wheel as well as their interface board. It's a bit tricky to use and I don't like having to cobble together my own transformer connection which isn't UL tested, but will use it if I can get it to work.
Is there an intereface to HAPP's feedback mechanism out there? I've tried to drive it off the parallel ports, but it makes this awful whining sound which goes up and down with my computers processor load. I'm assuming that it has to do with not latching the outputs properly. I'm going to try to put at simple latching curcuit together, but I wish there was something I could just buy to solve this for me.
I see that HAPP also has a USB solution for this, but this again has to be cobbled together and needs a custom USB driver. Is anybody familiar with this approach?
Thanks.
