CONNECTING TO YOUR COMPUTER

CONNECTING A BASIC USB UNIT
The Trackstar 6000 USB system is connected via integral USB cable from the
steering unit to a USB 1.1 compatible port on your computer. If you have many
devices connected that rely on the USB connection for power, ECCI
recommends you use a powered multi-port USB hub and free up one of the ports
that connect directly into your computer for the driving system. If you are
experiencing control anomalies, try unplugging all other USB powered items like
scanners and DVR external drives and running the driving system alone into a
port on your machine. This will determine whether the problem lies with other
peripherals or the driving system.
The pedal unit connects to the wheel unit via the integral DB-9 cable. This cable
connects to a DB-9 port on the right side of the steering unit just underneath the
main unit housing [Figure 6]. If you are having trouble connecting the screw
terminals due to the tight space, remove the unit cover for access.
The Trackstar 6000 uses the universal HID driver that is native to Windows
operating systems. No driver disk or outside software is necessary. When the
unit is plugged in it will be recognized as a four axis four button controller.
1
Install the unit by connecting the pedal component to the wheel and the
wheel to the USB port on your computer.
2
Select linked axis or separated axis pedal operation via the switch located
at the back face of the pot cartridge of your pedal unit. Separated mode
allows independent and simultaneous operation of pedals. Linked mode
links both gas and brake pedals as acting in opposite directions on the
same control axis, Y-axis of Joystick 1. Separated mode is preferred for the
most sophisticated racing simulations. However, some titles poorly
implement or do not even support separated mode. In this case use linked
mode. Separated mode is activated with the switch in the up position, and
linked mode is in the down position.
3
Now turn on or reboot your computer. When the operating system comes
up, click the Start button. Go to Control Panel and then select Game
Controllers from the menu.
4
The Game Controllers dialog box should appear. Windows should
automatically recognize a 4-axis 4-button controller is connected. If this
does not appear check your connections and reboot. If it appears as a
different configuration contact ECCI.
Click on the controller then select Properties. Select the Settings tab
and click on Calibrate. Follow the prompts carefully to calibrate your
driving system. Not all calibration axes will show movement. This is
normal; simply continue to the end. After finishing select Test. Carefully
observe the movement of your controls in the square box and the vertical
slider bars. Make sure that the wheel and each pedal are recognized and
operating smoothly to their limits of travel. If not, recalibrate. Ignore any
inactive slider bars as long as every pedal responds. A 2-pedal unit in
linked mode will
