Gladiator NXT EVO SCG + GNX SEM

[Dolla$]

I don't believe I'm the first person with this issue, but I can't find previous forum threads talking about this...

Due to the 3-pin/4-pin discrepancy between older and new Gladiator bases, the instructions for connecting the GNX SEM module did not match my hardware configuration, and I attempted to connect my Gladiator+SEM via the included 4-4 pin connector. It was only after noticing issues attempting to configure the SEM that I browsed forums and learned about needing to install the 3-pin connector into the 4-pin bus on the Gladiator. However, after installing the proper 3-4 pin connector, I cannot get the SEM to work, and I have to try a combination of default resets and calibrations just to get the Gladiator to function correctly.

How should I go about resolving this? Are the buses on the Gladiator base / SEM no longer functional, or is there a software/firmware flash that can restore it? I only see previous firmware available online (2.09.0 vs 2.111 that came installed on my Gladiator). If not, what should my next steps be?

Thanks for the help,

Show the Global-External tab from the configurator. And a photo would not hurt, how the leif was connected.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I have attached photos as requested, note that I have the correct connector between the 2 devices now, the incorrect connector was plugged into the same buses.

Your request to show the Global-External tab from the config software inspired me to play around with it and manually select the SEM for device #2. This allowed the device to be discovered and I can now configure it, although I am still getting the "BUS Error" default lighting effect from the Gladiator, so something may still be wrong. Either way, thanks for the guidance!

Try a newer configurator, take it here. It is advisable to reset to default and click the Find & AutoConfig button again in the External tab.

That looks like it worked perfectly! I think I'm all set over here, thanks very much for your help and quick replies.
