Re: Reverse Engineering the Force Feedback Pro

Yeah if there is any way I can help please tell me how.
I have the wheel, the adapter a understanding of c/c++ and a working build environment.

That was my idea behind the git repository, not to force everyone to use git. :D

Re: Reverse Engineering the Force Feedback Pro

This patch works great. Tested a few games and general input works flawless. Only "Assetto Corsa" had a serious performance issue when using the wheel, might have something to do with the not working force feedback. I converted the old svn repository from "http://adapt-ffb-joy.googlec...

Great job! Since you have the right equipment for the job I guess I can stop messing around with my approach...

Re: Reverse Engineering the Force Feedback Pro

I can't remember the value of the resistors that were used... <sigh> If you have some ...

Re: Reverse Engineering the Force Feedback Pro

The Wheel. I don't want to discourage you, but I would expect that it is not a simple task to make this adapter to support the Wheel too. I fear that the Wheel uses different protocol on the X/Y-wires for initializing the Wheel as well as different MIDI-protocol for the effects data. The MIDI-part ...
