When you use your Thrustmaster TX on Xbox and want to add a E-brake, just add a output for the yellow button on the front of the base, which doubles as an A button when connected to Xbox that you can assign as E-brake in your preferred car game.
You'll need need a female connector for the base, I used a 3.5 jack connector, and some cables.
Solder the cables as shown on the picture:
Made a test E-brake button:
And now you just need to make a E-brake with a button switch.
Thanks for the very informative post. I purchased a wheel second hand where I believe someone attempted this mod and removed it, but now the yellow "A" button is always triggered, even with the 170-1267-3-D breakout fully disconnected.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have a pretty incredible knowledge of the PCB for this base. The only time button A (aka 12 on PC) is not constantly depressed is when I disconnect the "J_SENSOR" cable, which of course makes the wheel non-functional.
Any ideas?
