KG12 problem - no buttons (SOLVED)

[Zappovitz]

Hi.

I have the mkII with GFpro and that works fine, I can flash it and load cfg file.

I have just received the KG12 and I can not get any response from the buttons.

I unplugged the usb from box
I switched the grips
I plugged in the USB
I flashed the firmware with "_BlackBox_GF_KG_v1_98_F.vkb"

but i don't get any response from KG12.

When i check external device it seems to be communication error!

Try with this firmware: https://mega.nz/folder/gx0mFQIR#ci756YS ... e/go8jTDDY (you have the orange Black Box right?) matched with this software: https://mega.nz/folder/Vk8AzAAR#eqrWwOz ... e/0stDhL5D
Follow the guide: https://youtu.be/fU4CbKhGm_w

I followed the video step by step ..
Upload firmware
Set to default
Calibrated axis and they work.. I still don't have any reactions from buttons.

I still have the screen that i attached before .. indicating "no communication"

Shall I try again with GF Pro stick??

[Zappovitz]

Well I did try the MCG Pro stick folloing the same procedure ... works fine.

There is only one reason left - the physical contact of the grip and base. That is its absence. Carefully inspect the spring contacts for bending, seizing when recessed.

[Zappovitz]

I don't feel any difference between MCG and KG12, when depressing the pins.

On BB any Led blinks when installing KG12? Show a screenshot of the Clobal-External tab.

[Zappovitz]

Yes the RED blinks until I select KG12, then it stops.

When I press default it reverts to Gladiator ...

[Ron61]

Click the Default button and reconnect the USB cable. Has anything changed?

[Zappovitz]

Clicked the default button -> reverts back to Gladiator and reboots
Unplug the USB and reconnect USB -> No change, only request for calib of axis, no buttons.

And RED LED and comms error in config software.

This is what the working configuration looks like. After resetting, you only need to calibrate all the axes.

[Zappovitz]

This I have done .. the axises are working just fine .. but NO BUTTONS are responding. Not inthe CKB configurator nor in DiView.
I have tried as Gladiator and also as KG12 .. same result. NO BUTTONS are responding
I have also reflashed with MCG stick and then all buttons and axises work.

As long as there is no connection between the handle and the base, there can be no talk of any button operation. Have a tool and skills to measure the voltage at the connector?

[Zappovitz]

Yes .. what do you want me to measure .. voltage or continuity? and where from / to?
