Actlabs split axis and clutch wiring graph?

by Tim Vanhe » Wed, 24 May 2000 04:00:00

Does anyone have a graphic showing the wiring of the Actlabs FF USB wheel
and pedals, in single and split axis mode.
I'm planning to either modify them or make a new set of pedals with
switchable single or split axis and clutch.
Is it possible to add a clutch to that wheel?

I had the guys at Thomas Enterprises wire my Act Labs Force RS to my TSW2 pedals.  
While they had them back I had split axis added as well as a clutch.  The clutch
is not the normal clutch that TE installs.  What they did was use the wire from
the button on the bottom spoke of the wheel which does not interfere with the RS
Shifter either.

The clutch is a work of art by TE.  Although it is "on/off" I can adjust the
point at which it engages so it "feels" about as close as you can get for what I
have available.  Seeing as even N4 will probably only support an on/off clutch
ala GPL I don't see a problem with that.

I do not have a diagram though.  I'm not technical enough to take on something
like this so I just pay for someone else to do it :)

does anyone know if the analog paddles on the Ferrari wheel could be a
clutch?
