Hi,
I have an issue with ffb on my lindbergh, hoping someone can help.
I got the 838-14578 Convert BD Board and also the 838-14592-01 Servo Motor Drive Board
I wired it all up last night to how the race tv manual shows it, and when I load up Race TV, when its loading up and it says Initilizing Kickback, the motor starts up and spins slowly to the right and then nothing after that. When I get ingame nothing happens at all and also in test menu nothing happens. Only get some movement when its doing the Initizing Kickback. What could be the issue?
Thanks
Help with FFB on Lindbergh
yeah its all original disc and chip
Im not sure if it is initilizing correctly as from what I understand the wheel should spin to the right, then spin left then back to center.
Its only spinning to the right most of the time, sometimes a tiny bit to the left but never back to center
Ive heard i may have the encoder wired incorrectly on the motor , but I connected the cables from servo board 1-10 to cables on the encoder in order how they were on connector coming out of encoder (not same connector so I joined cables together), connector was numbered 1-10 so I assumed they would be in order

hmm well I made some progress.
I was changing/swapping cables all over the show on encoder untill I noticed my servo board while doing force feedback test was showing a steady red led instead of it blinking away.
I am getting force feedback ingame now, I assume ive got this correct now but im not fully sure
When it does the initilize kickback now, it turns the wheel very slightly to the left then back to center and that is all, perhaps this is correct and is working fine
Seems to be okay ingame anyway!

It should spin to the right, than to the left and then go in centre....Boomslangnz wrote:hmm well I made some progress.

But maybe it's not so important since you have feedback effects in your cab.
Could you please post some pictures of your cabling?
I want to do similar conversion in my outrun2 cabinet, but i don't know how to convert the cablage and if could be possible to find the new servo motor board somewhere else from Sega, because they want a really lot of moneys....
heres some photos here, its pretty rough but does the job.

steering itself and pedals are real easy to get going, ffb is the difficult bit.
Diagram shows how to basically wire up the servo board, the encoder was the difficult bit for me as I was connecting directly to encoder cables which dont seem to be colour coded in manuals
if you need more info etc im happy to try help with what I can

Could you also tell me where you found the motor board?
