VKB-SIM

A few questions: 1. Why do you have several devices after resetting to default, and not one? (number 2 at the end of the device line) 2. If you need Shift, then why do you choose Shift2 instead of Shift1? 3. If you chose to expand the buttons using Shift, then why don't you configure it for all butt...

This is where you need to look for the cause. Take a close-up photo of the Sys and Pedals connectors, maybe that's where the problem lies. And a photo of the Gladiator board itself wouldn't hurt. Perhaps there is not enough power for the combine from the USB port, you can check the voltage coming to...

Watch this video on disassembling.
But you must have a pedal BlackBox (or orange first version), connect the pedals to it and check the operation.
And if after this the pedals do not work, then you need to disassemble them.

Watch this video for a full understanding of the axis settings, but do this first.

Show the Profile-Axes and Profile-Detents tabs.

For BB MK3 there is only one firmware _BlackBox_Mk3_Unified_v *. It is necessary to reset to default with GF and pedals connected and do autoconfiguration with subsequent calibration.
After that, show the Global-External tab (not Led).

So the problem is in the physical connection of the pedals. If the controller receives a short circuit (short circuit in the sensor) at one of the inputs, then to maintain its integrity, it switches off and disappears in the configurator. Therefore, you need to check the sensor itself in the pedals ...

That's great.

Which specific POV (its marking on the grip) should the keys be bound to? And which keyboard keys?

Add lines like here . After that in the Test-Misc tab in the lower right corner in the Led N window put numbers, you can start with 0 and hold down the FastTest button. As a result, you will be shown the placement of the Led and its possible colors. They may not match the color in the configurator, ...

The throttle and pedal axis are not calibrated at all - the numbers 255, 255 indicate this. Try changing the MPL value from 8 to 9, save it with the Set button and calibrate again. For the X axis, on the contrary, lower the MPL from 10 to 9. Extra, non-existent axes can be disabled by unchecking the...

Show the Global-External and Profile-Axes tabs.
The firmware is correct.

It is highly undesirable to use the Windows applet to calibrate any VKB device. But if this happens, the configurator has a tool to correct the situation called "Make Reg File" in the Tools tab. After clicking it, a file will be created in the configurator folder. You should run it and the...

You can use any patch cord, but it must be straight (not reverse), full (8-pin).
Does the problem go away without pedals?
I advise you to update the firmware and configurator, they are very old. A lot has changed during this time, I can't even remember how the windows in the configurator were located.

Well, that's great.
You can assign any button that will switch the X, Y or WASD axis mode and also hang up a mode indicator.
Instead of Always, set On/Off and select the priority.
