Communication Error Between MCG Pro and Gunfighter Mk.3

Postby Rev » Fri Oct 30, 2020 14:44

My Gunfighter Mk.3 base with MCG Pro stick has started to produce errors in the Vkbdevcfg-c program. The firmware I am using is 2.007 mk2. I am using software v0.91.54. This began during a flight session where suddenly the stick became unresposive. The X axis still works on the base but for some reason the Y axis isn't responding. If anyone knows a fix that would be amazing.

The presence of errors may indicate a violation (weakening) of the contact of the grip to the base. Check the contact pads, clean with alcohol and reinstall the grip.

Just wanted to note that I had the exact same error today for the first time, and removing the grip from the base, lightly cleaning off the base attachment point, and reattaching the grip fixed the problem for me.

I have the same issue, but the communication errors occur about every other day, and disappears when I wipe and reattach the grip.

Is this normal?

I should note that the contact on the base is visibly worn at the points of contact with the sharp edges of the three pin connector of the grip.

Clear, focused pictures with both the pins and the contact pads please Lojay?

I also recently bought an MCG Pro and Gunfighter Mk.3 about two months ago, It was working flawlessly until a couple of days ago the led started blinking red once i a while and the trigger and the gate cont. stick randomly going off so I thought the was cause due to a windows 10 update so I decided to flash the device with the newest bios v2_00_7, software v0.91.54 and now the black box red led is constantly blinking and none of my axes are working.
Can you provide any solution please.
