[Beta] - BackForceFeeder : feeder vJoy FFB pour racecabs

[Aganyte]

Oui, je voulais juste ajouter un test au démarrage pour vérifier que le programme se lance bien. Je suis bête, j'ai fait ça sur l'embrayage, mais on n'a pas de led sur ce dernier, il faudrait faire cela sur les sens A et B du moteur AC, avec l'embrayage à 0% pour ne pas faire bouger le volant. Genre A = 1 et B = 0 pendant une seconde, puis A = 0 et B = 1 pendant encore 1 secondes puis on remet tout à 0.

Today's board
Ok so today's boards seem to be running ok... some learning - daytona seems to be a much better game to test with. Originally I was trying sega rally and wasn't getting any effects, just resistance turning left and right. Loaded daytona and felt like I nearly broke my wrist when I hit the wall as I turned up the power while in rally and left it  get effects when hitting walls, other cars, driving over grass etc, so looking good! 

I guess for things like sega rally I need to adjust the effects settings or should use the Boomslangnz plugin? As currently when I start driving in the game the CW light stays lit the whole time, I get resistance steering left and right but no effects.

Until I work out what's happened with yesterdays board I'm not going to try and adjust the pro mini yet, which is a shame as I'd like to test the lights with a mega!

Yesterday's board
I'm going to reflash everything again, but interested to see what Aganyte thinks about the CW and CWW outputting at same time

I think the code is not in the board, did you try to press reset just before upload start ?

Yes, I suspect that my FT232 is bad 

The pro mini power led lights up when connected. The arduino software compiles and says sent ok but the other led on the pro mini on flashes twice even though the FT232 leds are still flashing for a lot longer

[Aganyte]

you must active detailed upload then press reset when Arduino IDE seems to pause. You have just few seconds.

Just tried, same problem 

I tested the FT232 by sending the sample blink sketch to the pro mini and it loads ok, the on board LED flashes so I can only assume the code is being sent ok.

The only thing I don't understand is what you mean by detailed upload?

This is the what is shown in the output:

Ok, try to upload this sketch and tell me if CW and CCW leds blink at boot

https://we.tl/t-4Ygg1Xk89C

Yes they flashed

[Aganyte]

1 second for each then go off ? If yes, the sketch is in the Pro mini.

Yes, 1 second each then turn off. CW & CWW still output though

You seem to have a board problem, i'll take it in guarantee  Private Message

Thank you, I've messaged.

Good news, second board has been flashed with the code above and is working with a mega and beta 4   

Just going to try out start buttons and lights but I've run out of connectors so not making things easy for myself! 

[njz3]

For lamps, you will need to configure a bit the PC software to handle them. I did not prepared a tutorial yet... i may be the only one to have tested this feature so far.
Tell me which game and emulator you want to start with and I will do screenshots of what you need to enter in the control sets parameters.

M2 and Daytona 

[njz3]

Ok, here are some hints:
- first it works only with Daytona USA (Saturn Ads) edition (rom name "daytonas"), as this is the only one supported by SailorSat patch (credits go to her and to BigPanik).
- for force feedback, I recommend to use the FFB plugin from Boomslangnz and disable ffb in the emulator.ini file (EnableFF=0). But you can rather choose to use m2emulator's ffb stuff. It's up to you.
- you need to get the lua scripts from "gameassets\nebula_m2_1.1\scripts" from the gameassets/ directory in my package and copy them to your m2emulator/scripts/ directory. These scripts enable 16/9 (wide screen format) and lamp outputs for Daytona.
- configure a control set for this game, enter the following parameters :


The blue parameters are used for auto-detection of the emulator process and game id, the red parameter is what is needed for reading lamps output.
- select your control set in the main page of my software.
- start your emulator and load the rom file.
- wait a bit and check in the "configure outputs" dialog that you see the raw outputs bits changing (bits 6 - VR lamp 3 should blinks for example after the "gentlemen start your engine").
- map an output bits to this raw bit. For example, map output bit 6 (I guess it's A13 on mega2560).


After that, you are all good.
