Zero Delay Board and UHID. M2 cant do both? *Solved*

(1/2) > >>

mrcram:
Still working on my Daytona Twin cab. Spent a good couple of hours today wiring up my shifter and VR buttons to the Zero Delay Encoder Board from Vigo only to find out that M2 emulator cant run both my UHID for the the pots and encoder board for the shifter and buttons.  That is because both of these come up as gamepads.  Zero delay joypad #1 and UHID joypad #2.  Is there any way to get M2 emulator to use both or am I screwed and just going to have to get a keyboard encoder that does not come up as a gaming controller?  Please help me.

Vigo:
Have you tried running joy2key to convert the joypad interface on the ZD encoder to keystrokes?

If it is only reading the first joystick ID#, you may need to swap the ID# first so that the it will read the optical encoder directly, and the ZD will just be read through the Joy2Key keystrokes. If swapping the USB ports doesn't do it, JoyIDs might do the trick.

I will try that.  I'm sure that will work.  I will report back.  Thank you.

I guess I spoke too soon.  JoyID will not switch because UHID comes up as a HID gamepad not a joystick.  No matter what, M2 emulator only sees the zero delay board when both are plugged in.  Unless, someone knows a work around, I guess I have to buy an encoder that does not come up as a gamepad.

Degenatron's AVR encoder shows up as a keyboard.  Thread here.

Resource page for latest info, key maps, and downloading firmware here.

This post in the thread has several sources for buying the boards:
--Degenatron sells them with screw terminals (He's in the UK)
--404 sells them without screw terminals. (He's in Florida) He programmed and ops checked mine before shipping them.
--Several commercial vendors also sell them without screw terminals, if you don't mind programming them yourself.

If you need a custom map, Degenatron offered in this post to adjust keymaps if needed.
