hi all, first post, no idea if this is the right place for it - I tried to post an albeit lengthy post in the Driving and racing section but got a message I wasn't allowed to post there - and my long post was gone
So I will cut to the chase, I want to build analogue pedals for use with Super Sprint and MAME, I have a Windows 10 PC and an A-Pac controller. does anyone know how to connect the POTs to the A-Pac please ? I have tried all sorts of things and at best I get it to work but intermittently.
My setup follows this:
Rudimentary foot pedal with 10K POT - cabled to a 3.5mm male audio jack (has 3 isolated connectors) - cabled to a 3.5mm female audio jack - connected to the A-Pac.
Car 1 is connected to GND/1Right/1Left
Car 2 is connected to GND/1UP/1Down
Car 3 is connected to GND/2Right/2Left
After getting in contact with Andy at Ultimarc he suggested a connection issue, so I removed my pedals and cabling from the equation and connected some spare POTs to a breadboard and then to the A-Pac. Calibrated in Windows and the POTs worked fine in Super Sprint. I did continuity tests end to end with all of my cables and connectors, everything is fine. So what am I missing ? Seems to me this is basic stuff and like I said, I have got everything working as it should, its just intermittent. Any help/advice greatly appreciated.
