Black box stick LED blinks red, stick buttons don't respond

Postby Johnny » Wed Dec 11, 2019 13:25

Hi! I just setup a Gunfighter Pro Mk.II and T-rudder pedals Mk.IV. They are connected to the same orange black box.

Problem/troubleshooting:

1. Run configuration app v0.90.56.
2. When first installed the stick led blinked red. Stick buttons didn't respond.
3. I updated firmware to 1.97.7 (though configuration app stats NJoy32 1.97.0).
4. Now the black box only recognize pedals.

- I've tried different USB cables.
- I've check wirering and it looks okay.

In need of instructions to solve this. Thanks!

Update 1:

- After again updating firmwire for the stick it shows up in the configurator app.
- The pedals are gone though.
- Black box LED:s as in gif in original post.
- The joysticks main axis and pedals works in X-Plane 11.
- Buttons doesn't respond.

Still in need of advice. Thanks!

You do not have a base connection with a grip - a red bar in Test-External Devices. Carefully inspect the spring contacts in the grip for bending, jamming. Wipe the pad on the stem with alcohol and install the handle more tightly, without clearance to the stem. Until a reliable contact appears (green bar), there is no question of any button operation.

Alright, the green stick LED is flashing now. Thanks!

The T-Rudder does still not show up as a unit in the configuration app, but the axis are working. Is this a problem?

T-Rudder when connected to the BB GF will not be clearly visible, but it will already work as a 7 axis in the GF. It should be so.
Remember to calibrate all axes. And the metal trigger on the MCG Pro is the axis.
