vkb gunfighter IV black box blinks with yellow LED, red LED, and red LED, and an error occurs.

Postby IQ_1000 » Tue Jul 09, 2024 14:45

Hello everyone, I am using vkb gunfighter IV. Recently, the LED on the Gunfighter black box has changed abnormally. The LED color suddenly changed from yellow to red and the controller stopped working. Can we solve this problem? There have been cases like this before, but it has become very serious recently, so I am asking this.

And if you reset it to the factory state using the button to the configurator, what does it show?

If it is displayed as t-rudder or after setting it again, not only vkb gunfighter but also t-rudder will be displayed.

Try using the latest firmware and configurator from here.

Even if I turn on vkb device config and change it to default mode and repeat it again, it's still the same. Also, the same thing happens if you run bootloader.

It changed like this when I clicked default last time. Also, when I press default, t-rudder appears, not vkb gunfighter iv. Even after setting it again, t-rudder, which does not exist in the device list, was added and it changed like this. Also, if you forcibly delete the t-rudder, the color of the LED changes from YELLOW YELLOW RED to YELLOW RED GREEN.

Show the bootloader window, what is written there?
You have the wrong firmware, you need to change it to the correct one for GF.
After what did this happen, was everything fine immediately after purchase?
What firmware are you trying to upload?

This happened occasionally after purchase. In that case, if I operated the stick too hard, the LED would turn red, so I reset it by pressing Default and it changed to this. In the past, I would touch the button and it would come back to normal, but not this time. and I downloaded the file you sent, but there was a problem with the file, so I used the most recent device among the files that had been unlocked.[attachment=0]Desktop Screenshot 2024.08.27 - 17.57.08.33.png[/attachment][attachment=1]Desktop Screenshot 2024.08.27 - 17.57.40.98.png[/attachment][attachment=2]Desktop Screenshot 2024.08.27 - 17.57.58.61.png[/attachment][attachment=3]Desktop Screenshot 2024.08.27 - 17.58.14.87.png[/attachment]

For your BlackBox (it is MK3), you need to use the firmware that is in the folder "GunFighter_series_and_T-Rudders" - "BlackBox MK3" of the firmware package. It is the only one there "_BlackBox_Mk3_Unified_v2_18_7.vkb".
Try this algorithm of actions before flashing:
1. disconnect the cable from the USB port
2. press the red button on the BB and only now connect the USB cable, release the red button
3. run only the ZBootloader2.exe flasher file and show a screenshot, uncheck the Auto box in it
4. select the above firmware file and flash it, show a screenshot

It's still the same... even after running the bootloader and turning off AUTO.

That's right, answer the pop-up questions according to your configuration. And then agree to calibration.
