Side Winder FFB Adapter
Introduction
Adapt-FFB-Joy is an AVR microcontroller based device that looks like a joystick with advanced force feedback features in a Windows machine without need for installing any device drivers to PC.
Circuit Diagram
Build
May 2019
I got a hold of the capacitors required and the DB15 Breakout
example breakout Board @ Amazon
I then build this in a breadboard setup and connected it back to the Joystick.
Results not as expected, I didn't get he FFB (no matter which tool I tried) & I also got some twitching on the readouts as you can see from the gif below.
Future
It may be length or quality of cables, so the plan is to build this back up again on a breadboard and try again.
