Re: Cannot Flash FBM MK III

In Vkb_DevConfig select Tools then the Bootloader button
This switches the stick off
Remove the USB cable and plug it back in to switch the stick back on


When you unplug and plug the USB cable you turn OFF Bootloader mode and reset stick to normal mode. Try skipping this.

Just plug the joystick in base connector and turn a ALLEN bolt.
