New page

For the Logitech G27 wheel, there is no calibration required.

For the ECCI wheel, there is a calibration required because the sensors for the steering angle and pedal position are analog potentiometers. The procedure is as follows:

<ol>
<li>Select the ‘X-Calibration’ scenario from the drop down menu and click Start Drive.</li>
<li>Follow the instructions on the screen. It asks you to turn the wheel left, right, and press on each of the pedals.</li>
<li>The system records the values (same as from the JoystickTest.exe described in Advanced Topic 1 – Viewing the Driver Inputs below) in the file called CalibrationECCI_original.txt file for the ECCI
wheel, or the Calibration.happ.txt for the ¼-cab MiniSim located in the C:\NadsMiniSim_v1.8.x\Data\Config folder.</li>
<li>You may also calibrate the system manually by:
<ul>
<li>Running the Joysticktest.exe application (C:\NadsMiniSim_v1.8.x\bin\Joystcktest.exe)</li>
<li>View and record the values as you manipulate the controls for:
<ul>
<li>Center Steer</li>
<li>Left Steer</li>
<li>Right Steer</li>
<li>Zero Accel</li>
<li>Full Accel</li>
<li>Zero Brake</li>
<li>Full Brake</li>
<li>Park (1/4 cab only)</li>
<li>Reverse (1/4 cab only)</li>
<li>Neutral (1/4 cab only)</li>
<li>Drive (1/4 cab only)</li>
<li>2nd (1/4 cab only)</li>
<li>1st (1/4 cab only)</li>
<ul></li>
<li>Record these values in the corresponding files; '''CalibrationECCI_original.txt''' file for the ECCI wheel, or the '''Calibration.happ.txt''' for the ¼-cab MiniSim located in the
'''C:\NadsMiniSim_v1.8.x\Data\Config''' folder. Be sure to make backups (copies) of the original files! Screenshots of the file are shown below. Note that the lines starting with a # are comments, and are there for your reference.</li>
