NEW here. Hello from Canada. FFB CONTROLLER ON DAYTONA USA

[tsquare]

Hello
looking for any help I can get, My daytona usa finally called it quits driverboard, sound board, io board and power supply all stopped working and rather than replacing them i have decided to upgrade the whole cabinet.
so I picked up this FFB CONTROLLER ON EBAY, I have been messing with it for the last couple of days setting up vjoy(2.2),Back force feeder and ffb plugin's having some luck. But i cant get force feedback to work, so far it seems like only the clutch is activating the motor will not turn on. I have check it manually and it does work. any ideas. I am also using the M2emulator with the modified INI. file
 
I have tired :
Reinstalling vjoy and rebooting
Installed older version of Backforcefeeder
tested emulator with my thrustmaster t300rs. works fine. with ffb
checked all connections for power.
increasing Power to 5.7 volts on FFB controller input will start motor and run continuously. 5 volts will just activate clutch.

Hi,
Do not tick "M2PAC" mode in the FFB, this is when you have all the original boards working and wires with M2PAC style connection to a mega2560 only.
Use my latest version of the BFF. Open the Diag window. Enable Diag mode (upper left button), then try to move the slider and see whether the wheel follow the torque reference signal.
Report back your test results.

Unchecked the M2pac mode, Installed the latest version of BFF enabled diag.

And it works perfect motor and wheel follow the slider. Thank you I figured it was something simple.

hello thankyou for the help on getting my ffb working.
I have another quick question, I am working on getting the buttons working but I have a constant inputs on 3 and 5 when nothing is plugged in I think the mapping might be messed up some how. I also cant seem to setup the control set its just crashes the whole program. I not to sure what has happened how do i add a daytona usa control set to the hack board.

Hi,
You probably have to use the "alternative pin mapping for FFB converter".
Then, if the raw inputs are still ticked, it means the hardware reports such input being pressed. Please check with a multimeter whether those inputs are GND (pressed) or 5V (not pressed, pull-up to +5V).
Regarding the crash, you should be able to add a new control set just by clicking "Add new" in the control set window. It could be a bug in the software (you use an old version). Try with a more recent version on my github to see if it solves this issue.

newest version is still crashing when i try to add a control set.


I check all the inputs on the ffb control hack board. none are shorted to ground.
so I do not know where raw input 3 and 5 are connected on the mega2560.
I did notice that "coin 1" going to d47 on the mega2560 does not have the 5 volts and grounding has no input.
also Input 1 is "service" going to d2 has +5 volts when grounded shows input in bff. could this be a logic issue.

Can you send me your current Documents/BackForceFeeder directory so that I try to reproduce your bug ?
No idea for the raw input 3 and 5 being activated. Maybe @Aganyte has an idea ?
