Hi there , I have recently successfully built the convert for my FFP,and it works indeed.Implicit wrote: ↑Tue Oct 23, 2018 12:06 amI'm having exact same problem. It'll recognize it if I load the standard Teensy joystick software on it, but nothing happens when I load any of the adaptffbjoy versions.schumpo wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2018 5:47 am Hello Everybody,
I know this thread is very old, but there are still some people trying to make the good old Sidewinder FFB pro work...
My Hardware:
I recently bought the parts for the Teensy-DB15-Connection from the well-known "adapt-ffb-joy"-project and soldered them together according to the circuit plan. Everything seems to be connected fine.
- PC with Windows 10 pro
MS Sidewinder FFB Pro
Teensy 2.0
Female DB-15 Port
This is my problem:
1. When I plug in my board, the Teensy is recognised by Windows.
2. The LED on the stick is illuminated constantly, also i can "sense" that the motors in the stick are activated, the stick centers.
3. Now I can transfer the "adaptffbjoy-shift-r54-beta.hex" onto the teensy...
and here comes the problem...
Nothing happens, the teensy just starts blinking rapidly. There is no new hardware recognized by Windows.
I've tried all available Hex-Files I could get - same results.
I resoldered the board with shorter wires and the capacitors - same results.
I installed the serial port drivers from the Teensy Website - same results
The Teensy itself seems to be working fine, I tried and tested several things with Arduino - it does what it should do - but not with the Stick
Unfortunataly I could not finde ANY hint what this rapid blinking means... and yes, I'm a noob and also German, so my English understanding isn't thhat good.
Is anyone on this board still "alive" and able to help me?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Christian
Rapid blink, windows doesn't see anything. Does it need to have external 5v power to work?
MY PC WIN10
MS sidewinder force feedback pro, product ID:66883-…..
Actually I met your problem as well , the light blink rapidly , and PC don’t have any feedback . it takes me a lot of time to check and finally I figure out what is wrong. I use wrong resistors . it should be 2.2k resistors , but I use 220k .
When I replace them with correct resistors . it work . the light blink 2-3 times and then will be light on for around 1-2second and then light off , then PC will recognize the FFP . it’s so great!!!
Hope my experience can help you .
BTW ,I am Chinese. My English is poor. Hope you can understand what I said .
