blackbox 2/ flashing red

Postby bomanzuk » Sun Apr 27, 2025 17:18

Good afternoon,

When I'm trying to use my grip now, blackbox2 is flashing the middle red LED on the right.
I checked the forum, downloaded zbootloader2, chose MCG Pro, Flash is done, and it's still the same.

trying to calibrate but Axis are not working,
I check the grip and the bottom, all is good. Reconnected the cable to bb,a different USB in the PC, but no luck.

i followed the instructions below already:

when I'm trying to calibrate only buttons are working and sliders on the grip

on external devices - Gunfighter Base is in red, not sure what that means. There has been no physical damage or fluid leak on it ever.

Advice and help will be much appreciated

Unplug from USB, release the fastener and when the grip starts to move press gently on it for good contact with the base while tightening the fastener. Plug back to USB, run VKBDevCfg, select the device, click Default button, then calibrate.

What I find odd is how the grip is detected, but not the base. Wonder if the base jumper is set to left or if there is something wrong with the wiring in the base.

Strange is i didn't use it in the meantime, and that happened.

There is also a blue LED light in the stand, and I can see it's not flashing now it looks off?
Not sure it's important

did I choose the good drivers?
Should I try with older drivers to upload for the bootloader?
Not sure when I can find the old version

If the LED does not turn on, the firmware is not to blame.

Sadly, your photos of the base internals are quite low in resolution, can you post the third row of photos in full rather than as a collage?

i switched on the computer today,
bb blue on left and green on right.
green light on the stick,

I set the settings to default, calibrated, and it's working.

Not sure what could be an issue, grounding? short circuit?
I didn't touch it from last time \o/ And now it's working
