Wiring Arcade Steering Wheel
(1/1)
jerschwab:
I finally bought a steering wheel for my cab.  I went with a 360 degree with a wheel encoder.

Does anyone know where this wheel comes from?  I bought it from a pinball shop in Vancouver, they didn't seem to know. 

Anyhow, is this the type of board I could just wire up like my spinner?  I have an Oscar controls vortex spinner that came with a PCB and wires to USB.  Can I get a USB cable and solder it to this board, or do I need a PCB from a mouse?

I'll be installing this on an Ultimate Arcade II cabinet as a switchable control panel.  Perhaps I can share the PCB from the spinner with this???

I had trouble finding posts of people using an arcade wheel, most seem to be using the Logitech, or Thrustmaster, etc.

Thanks a lot!

That should be fairly easy to interface.  You will need to use either an optipac, an optiwiz , or a mouse hack to interface.   The pcb on the wheel shows you which wires are which, just match those up with the corresponding connections on the optiwiz or optipac.
