Love the wheel but, after using Act labs performance pedals the momo's are
not as good and sense the Momo pedals are hard wired is there a way to to
still use the Act labs performance pedals?

Thanks
Dave

You can still use the Act labs pedals, but you'll need to leave the Logi
pedals lying around since you can't unplug them.  Your sim will need to
support multiple controllers - most do.

Yes I think so, but you can off course not connect the clutch pedal (if you
have one) to the momo. You are talking about the leather momo? I've made an
adapter to connect MS pedals without the need of cutting and soldering on
the original wire harness. You can connect other things than MS pedals to
it, and the Act Labs pedals are being tested at the moment.

Yes it is the leather momo. Please keep me posted as I would surely buy one
of those adapters.

Thanks

If you are not planning on using the Act Labs pedals with anything but your
Momo real soon: Just replace the wiring harness from the Act Labs pedals
with the harness from the Momo pedals. Both are just 6 wires connected to a
couple of potentiometers.

Do you have a wiring diagram?

I don't have Act Labs pedals but from the photos on
http://www.slottweak.com/pedals.htm it looks as though both pots are driven
counterclockwise when the pedals are depressed. If this is the case, looking
from the back (cover side) of the pot the wiring for a Momo harness would
be:

Brake: blue wire, yellow wire, brown wire (clockwise)

Accelerator: brown wire, orange wire, blue wire (clockwise)

It's always a good idea to draw a diagram of where the wires go on your
pedals before you start yanking wires off in case you decide to restore them
later on.

I currently use homemade pedals using the pedal wiring from whatever force
feedback wheel I am using (a leather Momo at the moment).

I just plug the actlabs in and push the momo pedals out of the way, no
problems at all.

   I was able to do that with my TM pedals and the LWFF.  but for some
reason, with the MOMO, I can only get one TM pedal to be recognized.   It
worked fine with the LWFF but I've pretty much given up trying to get the TM
pedals working with the Momo Wheel.

The only way I could get TM pedals to work properly was to leave them
connected to the wheel (goes for T2 and NASCAR/F1 Pro) so I gutted the
wheels so all wiring was intact and fully connected up but I didn't
have those bulky units about.

And... The only way I could get split axis in XP with the NASCAR/F1
Pro pedals (not supported by TM XP drivers) was to connect them
through a Rockfire gameport -> USB adapter.  Mode 1 IIRC.

I would (I do) just leave the MOMO pedals plugged in but out of the
way.  Takes up a little space but saves on grief.

Regards,

Mark

Momo Wiring diagram:
http://www.tytlandsvik.no/momo/MOMO%20Force.pdf

I will draw the Act Labs wiring soon. I got some drawings from Act Labs, but
they don't show what direction the pots move, or what side the connector is
seen from. So the first wire I made had the pedals switched and both axis
inverted! I wanted to check with him again if he got it fixed and there was
no other problems, before I sold this setup to someone else.

Jone - Hope you don't mind but I have added a link to your wiring diagram on
eRacer Garage in the DIY links.  Great work.

Thanks, no problem. I will put my URL into the PDF files, but I don't mind
direct links to them. You did notice there are 2 more schematics there?
Act Labs and Game port will come, and I will draw schematics on any
controller interface I can get my hands on.
Maybe you could add a wiring diagram section to the Library page?

Why do the LogicPedals have to be connected?
I have my RRC pedals connected to the gameport, and the Momo wheel to USB,
without any problem.

They are one in the same cable. You can't just unhook the pedals.
