FSM-GA with SEM and USB HID Controller

[dlarsen]

I am not sure how to connect the GA, with the SEM and a HID controller. I just ordered the HID controller, and it came in so I can put the SEM and GA stand alone. The FSM-GA is not going to work stand alone. what am I missing?

I just want to move this console to the left of my throttle from my stick.

The FSM-GA and SEM can't work independently in that setup, you will need another cable. This new cable will get plugged inside the FSM-GA in one of the JST sockets and will connect the FSM-GA to the SEM; this will free up the GNX HID controller's USB port inside the FSM-GA, which could now be used to plug into the PC.

I would like them to work as one unit. I am not sure how that is done with the connectors on the inside? Do I have one of those wires in the box?

Here is a good example on how to have 2 modules running together. The cable I was mentioning is a separate part and could be connected to either the FSM-GA or to your SEM.

I saw the other link.. I get how it works. Yeah, Ok. Thank you.

I think it's fair that, that cable should be included with the HID controller. The idea that I now have have to order a 5$ part, with $27 in shipping.. Would it be possible to get a coupon?

Thanks for helping me out.

That cable is not needed most of the time; for example if your 2 modules would be connected to NXT/EVO that would work without it, same if there are 3 modules on a single unit.
I understand the frustration to have to get through ordering new parts and paying for them, but unfortunately I can't do anything about the shipping costs, as those are out of our control. I could ask the sales dept not to charge you for the cable though, if that helps at this point.

Every little bit helps, thanks.

Even with just the SEM on the left side, it's a game changer. I can't take my hand off the stick in flight, all helos and I took the springs out of the Gladiator. I use the F14 stick on my other Gladiator for jets and warbirds. I also wanted to be able to trade the sticks out quickly without remapping all of the controls. Looking forward to having the GA connected, however this is already a great upgrade. I want to map controls to it and use it now. TY.
