    Hi, scratching my head with Wheel Control v2.6.5 (and 0.21, emc)
    FFB works fine when turn wheel to the left, but nothing to the right.

    I have checked countless diagrams, and a lot of them are a bit different.

    My current wiring is:

    Motor Driver 7960:

    VCC ===> 5v
    GND ===> gnd
    R_S =====> nothing
    L_S ===> nothing
    R_EN/L_EN ===> joined together and go to 5v
    R_PWM ====> leonardo pin 10
    L_PWM 11 ====> leonardo pin 11

    Wheel turns and displays on Wheel Control, Wheel Check, EMC correctly (left/right) just no feedback when turned to the right.

    Encoder is optical "omron style"
    Pinouts;
    Black/Shield ===> GND
    Red====> 5v

    Data pins (Green/White)
    100k resistor;


    GR WH RED
    X X (RES 1)
    X X (RES 2)
    X ==> jumper to RX on leonardo
    X ==> jumper to TX on leonardo

    Any assistance or pointers are greatly appreciated!!
