[FIXED] EVO-L and SEM connection issue
Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2022 1:18
Hi there, I'm having the same issue as described in this thread http://forum.vkb-sim.pro/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=6459&start=15.
My L EVO has the SEM connected on the right-hand side, and will occasionally stop being recognised by VKBconfig/Windows, and the default top blue LED is off. There is still power to the unit, as the F3 light on the EVO is lit. Unplugging the SEM has the EVO L showing up as usual, and holding down the SEM's B1+2+3 buttons when plugging it in puts it into setup mode, so that's all working and receiving power.
I've updated the EVO to 2.103, and my SEM is plugged into the bottom 3 pins of the connector in the EVOs base, but the issue seems to persist. I noticed in the bottom of the linked thread it mentions a 'patch' for a software issue - is that just the v2.103? Or is there a specific patch I need to resolve this?
EDIT: I've just downloaded and installed the new software (2.115) on my EVO L, and the new VKB config (0.92.33) but the issue remains.

Process to fix this issue.
1) Upgrade all firmware if needed - https://vkbcontrollers.com/?page_id=4609
2) Unplug the EVO's USB connection, and disconnect the SEM from the EVO base
3) Plug the EVO base back in, then in VKB config, click on 'Tools', and hit the 'Default' button
4) Unplug the EVO base USB cable, plug the SEM connection back into the bottom 3-pin connector
5) Hold down F1 and F3 on the EVO base, and watch the left red LED as you plug it in. Keep holding down the F1 and F3 buttons until it has a fast flash (about 3 seconds-ish)
6) Ignore the 'calibrate' pop-up, click on the 'External' tab, and down to the 'Find & Auto config' option
7) Calibrate the device - then you should be good to go!
