■ Overview of racing controller

A 1-axis analog peripheral dedicated to racing games.
The main body is equipped with X, Y, Z, start, A, B, C buttons and a butterfly shift on a single-axis handle. For digital bits (Right, Left, Down, Up), (Left, Right) is output on the left and right of the steering wheel, (Down) is output for the butterfly shift on the right side, and (Up) is output on the left side.

L and R buttons are not equipped.

■ Racing controller data format

● Saturn Peripheral ID
Saturn Peripheral Type: 1H (Analog Device)
Data size: 3H (3 bytes)

Racing controller data format
bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4 bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0
Peripheral ID 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1
1st data Right Left Down Up Start ATRG CTRG BTRG
2nd data 1 XTRG YTRG ZTRG 1 1 1 1
3rd data AX7 AX6 AX5 AX4 AX3 AX2 AX1 AX0

  • Start, ATRG, CTRG, BTRG, XTRG, YTRG, ZTRG will be 0 (ON) when the button is pressed.
  • The Down and Up of the butterfly shift will be 0 (ON) when you put it in front.
  • For AX7 to AX0, the absolute value of the A / D converter output without a sign is output.
  • For AX7 to AX0, 0 is on the left and 255 is on the right. The center is 127. (See Fig. 1)
  • Note: Since the lower 3 bits (= 111B) of the 2nd data are reserved for future expansion, programming that expects "1" for this data is prohibited.

    ● About digital bits

    Digital Bit Threshold (Note: The actual trajectory is an arc)

    ← Left rotation Center right rotation →

  • Right is "0" (ON) when AX is 97H (+ 15 °) or more, and "1" (OFF) when AX is 8FH (+ 10 °) or less.
  • Left is "0" (ON) when AX is 67H (-15 °) or less, and "1" (OFF) when AX is 6FH (-10 °) or less.
  • Down is "0" (ON) when the right side of the butterfly shift is pulled toward you, and "1" (OFF) when it is released.
  • Up is "0" (ON) when the left side of the butterfly shift is pulled toward you, and "1" (OFF) when it is released.
