Setup the old Rock'n'Ride Chair interface

[sirnoname]

Only choose Universal serial output as Interface and fill out like this picture (X-Sim 1.6.x screenshot, newer version does support this also):

Now look if it is working ...

This is the cable schematic, send to me by the developer of the interface:

Rock N Ride Serial Communications Protocol (Ver. 1.0)

* 2400 BAUD
* 1 Start Bit
* 8 Data Bits
* 1 Stop Bit
* NO PARITY
For positioning, the chair requires a 3-byte data packet defined as follows:

* First byte: ASCII CHARACTER "P" (#80 decimal)
* Second byte X pos. (1 - 255) 1 being far left, 255 being far right
* third byte Y pos. (1 - 255) 1 being far forward, 255 being far back

So, by sending: 80 127 127 to the chair, the result would be the chair going to the center position (127 is half way from 1 to 255).

This means for the X-Sim3 USO:
- start converter
- goto output setup and USO (Universal serial output)
- Select your USO port, add it.
- Select fitting comport settings from above
- Enter as parser string ~80~~a01~~a02~
Now add two axis in the math section and add a g-force plugin where you select longitudenal or lateral force.
If the axis are wring assigned you can change them in the string like this: ~80~~a02~~a01~


Good luck ...
