Anybody upgrade their older TSW to the new usb digital curcuit board? I'm curious if you see a significant diference. I'm using the rocketfire adapter at the moment.

It's a bit pricey at around 80 Euros, but if you should ever plan to build your own cockpit, this board has all the connectors you'll ever need.

The resolution is MUCH better than the Rockfire. You wont be disappointed. Good luck. -GaryR

Hi Gary, What kind of resolution do you get on the pedals, using what kind of pots and what kind of usb adapter? Cheers, uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61
I will answer your question based on my experiences Uwe. I currently have an ECCI 6000GTS and get 1003 steps on the gas and clutch. I get 864 on the brake. I still have my TSW2 with a PlasmaLite V1 card, and I get about 160 steps max on the throttle, with no more than 180 on any of them. This is with the pots that TSW recommended with their USB Board. I know the new V2 boards support a max of 10 bit resolution (1024 steps max) so it should be much better. My Old Red Original Logitech had 256 steps I think, and the Red Momo had the same IIRC. I used the rockfire for a while, and remember it having only approx 50 steps for the steering input. It was far from smooth. The real shame is that I haven't been one bit faster with any of them :-) I will admit though that the ECCI has made me a much smoother driver, if only I could learn to practice, and to concentrate on my driving now.
