VKB-SIM

Hi guys.

I’ve just installed an Omni throttle adaptor onto my Gladiator NXT L controller but now for the life of me I can’t figure out why the red and blue LED's on the base keep blinking (long blink blue and quick blink red) after calibration etc.

So I’m using the current VKBdevcfg software v0.92.17

I’ve flashed the controller with the latest firmware: Gladiator_NXT_2_09_0 using Zbootlader v2

Next I followed your guides on calibration.

(Side note: I’ve had no issues in the past with this controller or my Ultimate Gunfighter right stick.)

I can confirm that the controller now has the latest firmware:
VKBsim Gladiator NXT L XT v2.090

LED's on base still blinking as described above.

I click on ‘Default' button.

In Test tab BEFORE calibration I can see the axis all working fine.

I do a full calibration, then End calibration.

All buttons and axis seem to be working ok BUT the LED’s on base are still blinking.

I’ve gone through the process many times with the same result.

What’s happening here? Am I missing a step?

Thanks.

Show tab Profile-Axes (logical and physical) and Global-External.

The GNX is not configured or not calibrated. To fix this, you need to do two things:
1. press the Find&AutoConfig button
2. after calibrate all axes
For clarity, you can compare the results with your screenshots.

Thanks for your help Ron61. Unfortunately that only removed those 2 buttons under NXT Modules, the red and blue led's are still blinking?

After calibration, show the Profile-Axes tab.

Yep here it is.

Start the calibration process from the Tools tab.
Watch the relevant video from here.

Excellent, that fixed it! Thank you very much

Just out of interest was it caused by me not doing something correctly whilst recalibrating the controller or it is just a gremlin which sometimes occurs during this process?

I don't know how you started the calibration process so I can't comment on that.
You should remember about two calibration options - starting the process from the configurator and without it.
In the latter case, the process is started by simultaneously pressing three F buttons on the base (and ends with the red one on the grip) with one small but important clarification - after connecting the joystick to USB, the buttons need to be pressed in the interval of only the first 18 seconds.
If you do not meet or want to re-calibrate - reconnect to USB and fit into this time interval.
Flashing the leds on the base informs about the incomplete calibration of all axes (some one was forgotten and missed).
