Pot Based Pedal Dual Strike Hack - help!

(1/2) > >>

Texasmame:
Thought I could do a DS hack to a pot based pedal by simply running the black/red/blue from the 5K pot to the appropriate place on the DS board, but I guess not.  I have no place to run the ground and am thinking that may be the problem. 

Any advice?    :cry:

Texasmame:
Managed to get it recognized by running the pot to the X axis one (left right).  I need it on the Y axis one (up-down), tho, since steering is done on the X axis one.  :(

This all got me thinking - can you do two DS hacks and have them running at the same time?

In other words - Star Wars yoke running as a steering wheel, using the buttons and the X axis.  Then, have the pot based pedal working and have that be the Y axis for gas?  I'm guessing that's where you would put differentiate between DS 1 and DS 2 in the gamepad setup area.

Hmmm. . . maybe I need to do a joystick hack for the pedal. . .

Any input appreciated.

I was unaware that it was possible to do a pot hack for the PS2.  You sir have just taken away the rest of my already diminutive free time for the month.

He didn't say anything about a PS2 or PS/2.

If you are referring to whether multiple Microsoft Sidewinder Dual Strike gamepads can be active at one time, then the answer is YES.   I hacked 6 gamepads for my 6-panel rotating driving cabinet and I wanted each controller (steering wheel, yoke, pedals, etc..) to be active all the time.   Not sure if this is what you are asking though.....

I made connections to the Dual Strike gamepad PCB to use both of the POTs as well as the buttons.  I have pictures of where the connections were made at my site:
