I shipped out my last 2 boards, today. I'm now sold out, unless substantial interest is expressed.
I found it interesting that 4 of the 5 boards I made went international - Netherlands, UK, Sweden, Germany. I would have expected more "local" interest.
To my buyers, a big thank you.

Re: Reverse Engineering the Force Feedback Pro
Yeah, the 3DPro and Precision Pro use pin 13 on the DA-15 for one of their axes, which is not used on the FFBPro adapter (as presented on the website). This was the sole reason my adapter had the extra components... I was building it for the possibility somebody could change the program code to ...

Re: USB Converter for MS Sidewinder 3DPro, PP, and FFP
I have also constructed adapter boards for the FFBPro. Have the info posted in the other thread, relating directly to the FFBPro. http://www.descentbb.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=19061&start=60 Primary differences: - I added traces and a capacitor and resistor to connect pin 13 of the DA-15 to PB6 on ...

Re: Reverse Engineering the Force Feedback Pro
Thanks, Osterac. It appears the Wheel has the exact same pinout as the FFBPro, so my mod to add pin 13 is unnecessary - except for the non-FFB sticks. So, it looks like somebody just needs to whip up the configuration info, and map the protocols to get the wheel working. As my programming skills for ...

Re: Reverse Engineering the Force Feedback Pro
Just got the whole thing working last night. Very cool! It works beautifully. I still have the Sidewinder Force Feedback Wheel if anyone wants me to do tests on it, I don't know if there is still a future plan to add support for it. I'm wondering if you'd post a photo of the pins on the DA-15 plug ...

First board is safely in it's new home in the Netherlands. Just 4 left, now.

Re: Reverse Engineering the Force Feedback Pro
If you can find a small enough box to accommodate it, and don't mind that the mini-usb will be recessed, then probably.
I didn't really design for a box... sorry. Works perfectly on a slot-mount plate, or mounted directly to a case wall. I plan on case-mount, myself.

Re: Reverse Engineering the Force Feedback Pro
I added those to re-connect pin 13 on the DB-15 connector. These are connected to B6 on the Teensy. It has no effect on current operation, but I figured that if someone changed a bit of code, the adapter could support the non-FFB Sidewinder sticks that use Pin 13, instead of 11. If not, oh well ...

Re: Reverse Engineering the Force Feedback Pro
For those interested, I've whipped up a PCB adapter board to plug the pin-type Teensy 2.0 board into. Just something I really wanted to try building. I've missed my FFPro, ever since I "upgraded" to the FF2. The newer stick just never felt as well laid-out as the original. Some games really needed ...
