I have a Daytona USA twin, and I've told many stories about it the last 3 years on here.
I had to throw a new steering pot in it among other overhauls, but the one thing where I'm stuck is when you look at the drive board, the number indicator changes when you turn the steering wheel, however when you go into Drive Board Test, it's stuck on A3 and does not move at all.
this most likely explains why the force feedback doesn't work at all. when you compare the two machines as well, the problem one has a variety of dipswitches that show ON, while the other machine that works perfectly fine has them all OFF. I was always under the impression the drive board had the dipswitches, but it doesn't. the other board that's offset from the board stack in the cage however, has 3 banks of them, but they're all set to off...?
I'm leaning towards the board inside the cage being the one that talks to the drive board. I reseated all the connections already, both inside and out.
I'm assuming the drive board pot is fine since it changes on the drive board, and that it's probably something to do with the connection between the drive board and the one inside the cage.
any insight on what I should check for, and what I need to do about those dipswitches?
