Is It possible? NXT module attachements

[Viriatox]

Hi all, please can someone confirm if this is possible?

I have a SEM directly attached to my KG12 Gladiator NXT and I received yesterday a TQH (the normal one).

My initial idea was to attach it physically to the SEM+KG12, but I've just realised that if I do that, the entire assembly doesn't fit in my desk, since I also have a TWCS.

My new idea is to connect the TQH to the SEM+KG12 using the Type C connectors of both NXT modules (TQH to SEM) with a double Type C cable. Can I do that?
The result could be something like a FMH attachment but horizontally.

Thanks!

You could connect the 2 modules with the Type-C to Type-C USB cable, but one of the modules will still have to be linked and connected to the EVO.
If you want to use the 2 modules independently (no Gladiator connected) you'll need a GNX HID Controller and a JST to Type-C cable.

Perfect, that's exactly what I want!

TQH + SEM + KG12 (no-vertical versions of both modules) with:
>> TQH & SEM joined just with "external" UBS cable
>> SEM & KG12 joined with the "internal" conector and physically
attached.

Great! Thank you very much!!!!

Okay, I'm triying to run that setup and there is no way to see the TQH in the VKB Config tool.
Do I need to restart the SEM internal configuration? Is the only thing I've not tested...
Any help? Thanks!

[Viriatox]

Even restarting the SEM and configuring it again, I cannot see the TQH.
Can you confirm if the setup is correct?
Best regards.

Post a pic please with the internals, so we could see what connections you made to link the devices. Also a screenshot of VKBDevCfg showing the firmware you're using.

[Viriatox]

Thanks fallout9, attached the screenshot and the firmware

The connection between SEM and TQH is through the usb C ports

[fallout9]

I think your firmware is a bit old. Please update it following the next steps:
- delete all VKB files from your hard drive;
- download VKBDevCfg (v0.92.36), zBootloader and the attached firmware file;
- unzip them all 3 in the same, dedicated folder;
- run zBootloader, select your device name from the lower half of the window and press the Start Boot button;
- select the bootloader from the lower part of the window;
- press the ... button, navigate to the folder with the firmware file and load it up;
- press the Flash It! button;
- after the zBootloader quits run VKBDevCfg, select your device at the top and press the Default button under Tools tab;
- select your device again, navigate to Global/External/ExternalDevices and press the Find&Autoconfig button;
- press the Start Calibr button under Tools tab and calibrate all axes by moving them slowly, a few times, through their whole range, joystick's, THQ's and SEM's if any existing axes;
- press the End Calibr when done.

Silly question, the firmware upload should be done with all the modules attached to the EVO?
Best regards

[fallout9]

Could be done with or without modules. Setting up the device in VKBDevCfg has to be performed on all connected modules.

Hi Fallout9, I've done what you mentioned but it still not displayed. I've tested also with different USB cables and the result is always the same, no recognition

I attach a screenshot of the VKBDevCfg and a photo of the configuration I'm triying to reach

[fallout9]

Pressed the Default button, then either accept the autoconfig or pressed the Find&AutoConfig button?

[Viriatox]

Exactly, and never appears the TQH

Show photo of THQ without bottom plate. Try connecting it instead of SEM to GNX.

Attached the picture of the TQH

I've also removed the SEM and attached the TQH directly to the EVO (to the top left port of my photo), I clicked to "Default" in the VKBDevCfg and the name changed to KG12 TQH XT2...

but only one of the three axes was working, the other two momentarily appeared, but after the configuration, they dissapeared and only the first one could be calibrated.

All the buttons were working fine.

Same with the Find&AutoConfig button.

Is something failing? the TQH?, until now the SEM and the EVO worked perfectly
