I heard the the Rockfire RM-203 and the Radio Shack version both used the
same chip, which maybe they do, but it's certainly not implemented in the same way. Uwe says his Rockfire has a steering resolution of 128-140 points, the Radio Shack unit I have has a lock to lock steering resolution of 40 points. When you get into hi res USB like the Plasma Lite or ECCIs offering, you get over a 1000 points of resolution.

Okay just to clarify. I was just trying to get across to Uwe that the unit
that comes with the TSW isn't anything that special and could probably be picked up anywhere (Radio Shack was just an example). I didn't tell him to just pick one up at Radio Shack. It sounds like he already had the same or close to the same unit in the end anyways.

The plasma lite looks very nice indeed, I just recommended this to a
friend with custom made pedals. A bit pricey, yes, but from the specs it looks like the ultimate analogue-to-USB converter out there. 10-bit AD conversion'll give you all the resolution you'll ever want. Who cares if you have to solder a bit, and put it in a box, if you get the best there is. :-) ---A--- On 19.01.2006 17:52, Uwe Schürkamp wrote: > On Wed, 18 Jan 2006 18:59:00 GMT, wrote: >> It's a little bit of wiring and soldering, you can handle it The big >> difference when going to ANY hi resolution USB solution is that the third >> pot pin, normally unconnected, must be connected to ground with hi res USB, > > I'll take you by your word, mate Just ordered the plasmalite v2 for a > total of 112 CDN incl. postage; hope it all works as advertised. > > Cheers, uwe > |

The plasma lite card documentation will explain to you how to connect
your pots to the card, it's very easy, and if you do it using a shielded cable as well, you should be 110% ok. I have no idea how to get connected to those pots inside your TSW, however, but it should be self-evident. ;-) ---A--- On 20.01.2006 10:14, Uwe Schürkamp wrote: > On Fri, 20 Jan 2006 04:08:51 GMT, Michael Horton wrote: >> Okay just to clarify.
