Hi, I just bought a PP cockpit and it came with no gas pedal cable. I decided that instead of spend the 26 dollars on a cable from arcadefixit, I would fashion my own.(how hard can it be!) (probably a bad idea) I have gotten string and hookup wire to work. The only problem is in test mode I go past the a0-90 range, usually between 8E and 67 depending on what I am using and the length. I had to wd40 the pot and move the pulley back to the flat spot(it was just screwed down on the round side) to get it to work at all.
Also my rough understanding is that when the game powers up it takes the resistance value from the pot and makes this 00 then reads the change from that initial value. Is this right?
Besides making the cable too long so it stops moving the pulley I don't understand why this won't work as the distance between the pedal fully open and closed is a fixed distance.
If anyone can help or shed some light I would appreciate it.
