VKB-SIM

Greetings. I just got a set of these pedals and cannot seem to get the firmware updated. When I boot up the device configurator, they show as VKBsim Black Box v1.936 in the window. I select them & launch the bootloader. That window opens stating Boot device: detected - Ok. Below it shows Found boot device : VKB Boot Njoy32 platform. I select the "_BlackBox_MK2_TRudder_v2_09_0.vkb" firmware file and click Flash it!

!!! Device signature not correct - flash fail !!!
Please check version of firmware file for this device

All lights on the (orange) black box have turned off. I close the bootloader and now the device configurator sees them as VKB Boot Njoy32 platform v00.56. If I click on them I get a msg. that the firmware I use is very old and needs to be updated, I then click the "ok" box attached and get a "error read CPUID" msg. Anytime I try to click on them in the device configurator I get same error read msg.

If I unplug & then refit the USB cable to the black box, they are then again recognized as VKBsim Black Box v1.936 & I can then select them again in the configurator.

I also have a Gladiator NXT that I was able to flash to v2.09 without a problem. I've tried both with and w/o the joystick connected to the pc and also tried to flash them to v2.07 as I still had the .zip with that firmware and get the same results. They seem to be functioning fine as is. Do I need to worry about this?

The 'MK2' in title refers to the latest Black Box. For the orange one use the unlabeled firmware version.

Yeah if that's this:

"_BlackBox_TRudder_v2_09_0.vkb"

I still get all the same errors.

Try to flash through zBottloader, while VKBDevCfg is off.

Just tried. Initially it says "No bootloader found, but some NJoy32 controllers detected, Select device (DoubleClick)"

Below that it shows the VKBsim Black Box v1.93.6. I double click it, it says found boot device, I click "Flash it" and end up with the same errors as before.

Thanks for the ultra fast response btw!

Run zBootloader, erase the Select file-> and instead write:

save

It will create a file with extension .op1, please send me that file on private message.
