Shipping Info Terms Contact. These are DIY components, and in the spirit of the "Do It Yourself" man, you will need to "do it yourself" and rely on your own skills, knowledge and abilities in order to integrate DSD circuits into your sim racing space.
All DSD electronics are thoroughly tested for proper function before they are shipped to you. The information below is what is provided so you know the full technical data on each device, how they are configured, and how various components connect to them. Take the time to read all of the necessary facts so that your use of our electronics is enjoyable and that you know precisely how to use them and how to integrate them into your your gaming space.
The usage conventions to this utility are exactly the same as what's shown for the 32 button version. The diagrams below show how to properly connect various components and buttons to the board. Note the following details: Use k Ohm potentiometers if you connect pots to the analog channels; 10k Ohm potentiometers may be used as well DSD Circuit Boards will also allow you to connect hall effect sensors, or pressure transducers to the analog channels.
Refer to the manufacturers' data sheets for correct wiring instructions Shunts are supplied on all boards with analog inputs. If you are not using that particular input, leave the shunt on the GND and A n pin to prevent calibration interference If you are using a "Sam Sensor" a three wire pressure sensor , you must connect that to one of the A n inputs; those do not connect to the load cell amplifier If you are using a DSD 12bit controller with integrated amplifier AND DO NOT have a load cell element connected to the terminal block Z-Rotation Axis , you will need to connect a small piece of jacketed wire between the GND and V- connections to avoid any calibration interference on that analogue axis input.
Section 4: Connecting Shunts Shunts are necessary to prevent calibration interference on any unused analogue input channels. The shunt connected on A5 is a spare. For example, if you had a connection on A1 and A2, the analogue inputs of A3, A4 and A5 would be shunted. The shunts ensure that any unused analogue input channel has zero output and remain that way when calibrating your DSD 12 Bit Controller. Moreover, it's a great way to make unused analogue axis inputs entirely silent to eliminate any calibration difficulties that some folks can experience.
To do that, refer to the graphic on the left. We'll assume that the DSD 12bit controller is used and that it's used for pedals, those pedals being connected to the last three inputs. The unused axis inputs of X, Y and Z are not being used. To remove any unused input "chatter" download DXTweak, run it. You will need to click the "Next" in the dialog box that appears where the enumerated game controllers are indicated until you reach the one named "DSD 12Bit Controller - ES".
When you have that one, you will then need to manually set the X, Y and Z axis inputs to specific values. Refer to the above graphic. When you have completed this in DXTweak you can now set the pedal inputs in your non iRacing title without any trouble. And yes, once you set it, you can forget it.
These various utilities may be beneficial to your efforts, but none are needed to use DSD Circuits or components. They're hosted here for download as a convenience to our customers. Section 8: Useful information and links to components certified for use with DSD circuits Folks need information, and information is there for them. Organizing it is not easy or fast on many occasions, and sifting the wheat from the chaff can take much effort.
We're asked regularly about various components such as potentiometers, encoders, sensors, etc. Here's a reference post for posterity everyone can access when they need certain components. Be advised that these components or types of components are certified to function properly with DSD circuit boards. These are our recommendations, have been tested for proper function, and these components are often used in DSD components.
There may be other options out there. If you want those, you have to source them on your own. Other or alternate components or sources may exist. We don't provide alternate sources, and we trust the ones below.
Errata : Note carefully that the information above outlines components we recommend and what we have tested and certified for use with DSD electronics. Are there other components? We have provided some which have been tested and confirmed functional. Should you burn one up, render one inoperable or otherwise cause a board to malfunction, we cannot help you. You are expected to follow the connection instructions here and are responsible for the device.
We thoroughly and completely test every DSD circuit prior to packaging and shipping to ensure proper function. All DSD Electronics are shipped in a static proof envelope.
