T-Rudder problem

Postby Lurz » Wed May 01, 2019 9:11

Hello everyone,
Think I screwed up My hardware after flashing the firmware.
Just got my new T-Rudder pedals and following T-link manual, Idecided to flash the firmware.
Now the red light of the Blackbox is blinking and T-link soft shows this:

I used ZBootloader-C v1_13 and BB_GF_MCG_KG12_v1_93_6 firmware.
Seems I have done something wrong but I'm not sure what it is.
Will appreciate any help.

When you start the bootloader process but don't load a new firmware, pedal remain in bootloader mode.

You need reset then, usually just unplug and plug USB cable is sufficient.

You pedal is connect together with joystick?
This firmware BB_GF_MCG_KG12_v1_93_6 is for Gunfigheter base with MCG PRO or MCG or KG-12 grip plus T-Rudder, select the appropriated firmware for your grip in folders inside ZIP file.

- Gunfighter
- Modern Combat Grip Pro
- T-Rudder Mk4

Tried to unplug the cables but still the same, T-link can not "see" the pedals. And no, I have only pedals from VKB. Seems I have chose the wrong firmware file.
I'm a little confused with so many firmware and software versions, not sure wich one can I use for pedals.

Yes, for BlackBox and T-rudder is not easy figure how fimware use, of this options.

http://ftp.vkb-sim.pro/Firmware/BlackBox/

Firmware whose name start with GF_ seems for use with Gunfighter bases.

What leave you with 2016 and 2017 versions - probable the same that came installed in your pedal BlackBox.
But even their readme.txt - inside Zip file, mention "Gunfighter".

You need help from some VKB technician.

Solved it. Just tried older versions of VKBDevcfg and watched which one will recognise the hardware.
Then started bootloader and flashed with _BlackBox_TRudder_v1_96_B. Now I have only two lights in Blackbox - Sys and Pedals steady red lights, but seems everything works well now.
Note that I found BlackBox_TRudder_v1_96_B only in VKB North American website! If I had done it earlier..
