Wheel problem

by Sondo » Fri, 08 Jun 2001 06:57:59

I have the Wingman Formula Force USB.  Apparently the USB connector has gone
bad.  The system will lock up or it will show the device but will not select
it.  The wheel will work using just the serial port.  However the Force
Feedback does not work this way.  The Serial port Wingman is selected under
windows controller options and under properties the force feedback option is
selected.  I m using the 3.62 drivers.  During calibration everything works
except the ff.  The wheel will turn by itself (as normal) during bootup. So
the motor seems fine.  Any ideas drop a line.  Thanks.

Sondog,
IMO there is a software/driver problem, which affects the USB. Could be an
interrupt related thing. I don't believe that the USB adapter got damaged.
