Yoke USB Hack Question

Pages: (1/2) > >>

gobuchul74:

I picked up a Hydra Yoke off ebay and hooked it up to a Sidewinder Dual Strike as per 1up's website.  I have a few problems though and need some help.

I've got it setup as a joystick and it works, but it will not center correctly and the throws are very short.  Appearently the Dual Strike does not provide options for calibrating the joystick.  I tried adjusting VR1,VR2,VR3&VR4 on the Dual Strike board, but that had no affect that I could see.

It seems like alot of people have used this setup.  Does anyone know how to calbrate this thing manually?  Thanks.

Minwah:

Did you calibrate in Control Panel > Game Controllers?

Beware that some people have experienced problems with centering in some games, eg Star Wars (NOT the Dual Strike's fault)...make sure it is OK in Game Controllers...

gobuchul74:

Thats what I'm doing, but the after selecting the dual strike controller and bringing up the properties, there is no option to calibrate.

rdagger:

Make sure you change the mode from FX to Joystick.  Then you should be able to set up x and y axis zones.

gobuchul74:

Yeah, I've tried using the zone setting to calibrate it, but that is'nt cutting it very well.  The Y-Axis cannot be adjusted for a full throw and neither axis can be centered.  It may be the best I can do.

Does anyone know of another good controller to hack?
