Software Issue

Postby dp111 » Wed Sep 28, 2022 23:06

I downloaded and flashed latest firmware using latest version of the deviceconfig tool for my NXT. I did not think to save my profile first, so I lost my LED and virtual controller settings. My bad. Now I am attempting to reconfigure them and I can't get the configurator to see the buttons for all the devices (NXT THQ and SEM). At first it couldn't see the THQ buttons. Now it sees them but not the SEM. ??? Tried different USB ports. Wasn't easy to get all the axes set up either. I set the button limit to 64 with 1 virtual controller and then had to go to External Devices and add the SEM and THQ. Set up 3 Virtual axes for the THQ and played around with the numbers (manual not clear about these numbers) until I got all three to work in the test. Calibrated and Set. Now, how to get the buttons for the SEM to register so I can work on the LED's. What step am I missing?

Please post a screenshot with VKBDevCfg presenting the Global/External panel.
So you have Gladiator NXT + SEM + THQ connected with the internal JST cables, correct?

Unfortunately, my abbreviated keyboard won't allow me to take a screenshot. I have attempted to attach a pic instead. I have discovered that whichever device is placed in the third spot is reflected in Profile as Device #2 and begins at Reg#14 with everything between there and Reg #5 blanked out. Reg#1-5 shows as Device #1. Whether SEM or THQ is in spot #3 the buttons work but as #2 they do not. Axes are unaffected and work no matter. The NXT is #1. My setup id NXT via USB and SEM to immediate left with THQ left of that. Both connected with JST cables. They were working fine prior to flash so I'm missing something in setting up the virtual controller.

Use Windows' Snipping Tool to take the screenshot.

Did you pressed the Default button under Tools tab, followed by clicking the Find&AutoConfig in Global/External/External Devices panel?

Fairly certain I did that. However, I just did it again and it reset to 128 buttons with 1 VC. I changed that to 64 buttons and "Set" it and now everything seems to be working. I saved the profile :)
Obviously I didn't do it correctly the first time.

THANKS! I very much appreciate your time spent helping me.
