Re: Reverse Engineering the Force Feedback Pro

How to wire up an Arduino Micro without any modification to the software used by the Teensy++ and Teensy 2.0 board. Let's start with a schematic for the original Arduino Micro: http://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/arduino-micro-schematic.pdf For those who plan on using an Arduino Leonard (also based ...

Re: Reverse Engineering the Force Feedback Pro

I can now report a partial success. The issue was a LUFA USB2Serial .inf file that had the same USB ID (used the Arduino micro in a previous project). :oops: However, although I now get a device "LUFA Joystick wFFB" under "Other Devices", the Joystick gets recognized and is listed in joy.cpl but ...

Re: Reverse Engineering the Force Feedback Pro

Many thanks Scott, that's plenty of trails for me to follow now. I'll let you know when I made some progress. Also, I'll have a go with the Arduino Leonardo on a different dev board to rule out a faulty Arduini Micro (had it for a while and it's been doing lots of other things). Happy new year ...

Re: Reverse Engineering the Force Feedback Pro

I ran joy.cpl but there was nothing there, no FFP device or any joystick for that matter. Also tried ForceTest.exe but it pops up with a message box telling me "No force feedback joystick detected!" and then followed by a second message: "Error Initializing DirectInput.". Unless someone has seen ...

Re: Reverse Engineering the Force Feedback Pro

Project with a tiny twist - Arduino Micro (ATmega32u4) As it happened, I had a spare Arduino Micro R3 board and an old MS Sidewinder FFP (the old version with a fan - Part No. 98755 Prod ID: 579-7511356). A bit of research on the Arduino Uno quickly revealed the pins to be used in order to achieve ...
