Board is item #4
Plug that's broken off is X2 as labelled on the board

Re: Error Loading Firmware for MCG to FBM III

As nobody's responding I guess you guys are all out of ideas I'm begining to think the problem lies somewhere in the Firmare or a minor hardware fault that I've had since day one It's never been serious enough to stop the stick working in any way, but is interfering with the software. Possibly somet...

Re: Error Loading Firmware for MCG to FBM III

I noticed that trying t...

Re: Error Loading Firmware for MCG to FBM III

Re: Error Loading Firmware for MCG to FBM III

So I have no idea how long this will last or if it's permanent I had to take the stick to pieces to take the photoographs in the previous post (obviously). I just reopened VKBConfig-C again now and the device registered. Here is what I am getting VKB Device Config Working.jpg I recalibrated the stic...

Re: Error Loading Firmware for MCG to FBM III

First a base line so as I know what I've done so far is correct and there are no major blunders on my part Here is the wiring of...

Re: Error Loading Firmware for MCG to FBM III

So without warning suddenly the Config program started to show the axes, then went blank again. I also noticed that the stick was dead at one point and after a while realized this was related to one of the dials on the stick base. When rotated to almost the stop the stick died FM_mk1_Comment.jpg So ...

Re: Error Loading Firmware for MCG to FBM III

I just did a hardware reset and this time the Bootloader completed the operation
