The Immersion Force Feedback controller cards then connect to the Force Feedback Motor (C) and the steering
wheel sensor (A) located on the Force Feedback motor frame. The 24 Volt DC Force Feedback power supply (B)
connect directly to the Immersion Force Feedback Controller cards. Do not connect the Force Feedback power
supply directly to the Force Feedback motor, as this will damage the motor and the power supply.
