MCG + GLADIATOR PRO not working

Postby scipio72 » Thu Jan 11, 2018 3:41

Hello,
I'm trying to get my MCG working on my gladiator pro base. I attached the grip and there is no space between grip and base. When I plug in the usb cable I see a flashing red light. The buttons on the base work and the sensor detects the stick movements fine. However the buttons on the stick don't work. When I launch bootloader from the devcfg it says device recognized but the light on the base turns off and nothing works. I can see under the external tab that MCG is not selected. I've tried selecting it from the dropdown but there is no change when I do. I have tried the bootloader button and the default button in the WIZZO. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Pls check your email inbox.
I guess you pre-ordered the MCG grip for Gladiator Pro and later ignored the message from the shop asking to cancel and re-order the same goods under a different name.
The point of such a reshuffle is that although MCG for GF1 and MCG for GLPro are totally identical mechanically, they need different firmware due to obvious base difference.
You probably did not cancel and re-order, so you received the MCG grip with FW meant to be used with the GF base.
This is no big problem except now you will have to wait till we release the dedicated FW.
Please stay tuned for this FW announcement.
Sorry for the time you lost. FW is being tested these days.
Best Regards,
AeroGator

[quote="scipio72"][/quote]
Can you see anything at this picture?) Ron is right.
What can I see.
You use obsolete firmware. This firmware intended to Gladiator AS IS, without MCG.
What to do. Download User Guide https://yadi.sk/i/Ye-jvF_j3Skuo5
Download configuration tool https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-gf_gxwpQi-K7WxMX_bbpeovBlSC-_Nj
Download firmware loader https://drive.google.com/open?id=1RDZgS5xyNP6VUJjlVz0HlOxeEKQgZkYz, up-to-date firmware https://drive.google.com/open?id=1XaHl33X_QmzWV9Mvu-GOyqeXhrnTLOI6.
Update firmware, take screenshot and we`ll try to force your joystick to work.

Yes. Thanks.

I see some differences with mine.
Please find zconfig.ini file in the same folder with VKBDevCfg.exe, add User=Developer string to [User] section
[User]
===========================
User=Developer
and restart program. Will you see additional controls?
