TRC USB 6 Analog Input Controller
Functional description
TRC USB 6 Analog Input Controller
The TRC USB 6 Analog Input
Controller is a so-called HID
device and is recognized under
Windows as a standard input
device.
Up to 4 of the same boards can
be connected to your PC.
Therefore you need no special
drivers or setup software.
Once recognized by Windows,
you will find the TRC USB 6
Analog Input Controller in the
section “Game Controllers” in
your Windows area.
You need to calibrate the different
analog inputs as if it was a
Joystick. Therefore follow the
standard Windows instructions for
calibration.
The first two analog inputs are
treated as the X and Y inputs of a
Joystick.
When calibrating, Windows
expect these inputs to come back
into the middle position prior to
the next step of calibration.
When the Windows calibration
asks for “press any switch on the
game device” just hit Enter on
your keyboard.
The 6 different inputs (consisting
of 3 pins per input) can be
assigned to any analog function
within Microsoft Flight Simulator,
via the menu option
“Options/Controls/Assignments”.
Setting the identification
The TRC USB 32-Input Controller
has a 2 position DIL Switch.
Using a certain combination of
this switch, you can give the USB
32-Input Controller a unique
Identification (ID) which allows
you to connect up to 4 TRC USB
6 Analog Input Controllers, with
each their own DIL switch setting.
The ID will change from 00 to 04 The table for the DIL switch is “ON”, the read out value is 03.
