I have a really strange issue with my Pole Position II.
For example...... on the Fuji track when you're full speed, as you approach the hairpin turn, you have to spin the wheel hard left to navigate that bend. No problem. However, on some other tracks, a hard RIGHT turn is required, and at full speed, if you spin the wheel fast enough, it sometimes results in the car barely turning at all, or just going straight!
Steering slowly or moderately to the right works fine. The problem only occurs when you spin the wheel super hard to the right.
In test mode, the data confirms this. Spinning the wheel to the left shows the hex value for the steering pot decreasing at a rapid rate. Spinning the wheel to the right shows the value jumping around, but not increasing as fast as you might expect. In some cases, after you spin the wheel for a second or two, the value might even be less.
Optical encoder wheel is perfectly clean with no bends. Encoder was removed and cleaned.
Anybody have any ideas why a hard right turn would behave less accurately than a hard left turn??
