Hello,
I am working on a my Cruisin USA Sitdown.
So far two problems are fixed:
- not saving settings: replaced the lithium battery on the pcb
- Random resets of the game: replaced the psu: https://www.ukvac.com/forum/threads/cruisin-usa-new-power-supply-with-115vac-230vac-switch.82459/
Problems left:
- No power to the bulb behind the start button on the dashboard.
- I don’t notice anything from the motor while playing the game
Why 2 problems in one post
Both seems to be related to the wheel driver board and might have a common problem?
Bulb start button dashboard
When doing the lamp test, there’s no power on the wiring from Wheel driver Board P8 pin 9 and pin 7 which goes to the bulb behind the start button on the dashboard, there’s 12V on the pins for View 1, View 2, View 3. I don’t see and I didn’t measure any missing traces on the pcb, there is continuity.
I have read that the transistors for this are all in the chip on U11: ULN2064B: https://html.alldatasheet.net/html-pdf/25568/STMICROELECTRONICS/ULN2064B/1622/1/ULN2064B.html
Is it possible that this chip delivers power to all the pins on P8 except to pin 7 and pin 9 because the chip is broken??
Weak motor during gameplay
I don’t know how it is supposed to feel when the motor is working properly. When I am in the testmenu for the motor the steering wheel does turn left and right. When in the game it doesn’t do anything when collapsing, going offroad, making turns.
I have measured 38.5VAC on the Wheel Driver Board P1 between pins 2 (blue white) and pin 6 (blue black) as input voltage. This should be 18VAC!!! Did I make a mistake with the measurement? There is also a pin 4: ctap (blue), I didn’t understand that one. According to the wire-color I thought this might had something to do with it (all blue).
If I did measure it on the right way, what part could cause this high voltage (which probably damaged another part..?).
I have checked the jumpers on the transformer. Never seen jumpers on a transformer (only know jumpers which are selected by moving a piece of plastic), from what I understand it are the black wires in this connector:
From what I see the jumpers are set from pin 5 to pin 14 and from pin 10 to pin 15.
When I look at the jumper table I don’t understand this setting… I live in Holland where we have 230V from the outlets. Are the jumpers on the right place?
I am looking forward to learn more about this! Thanks!
