Problem with smart trigger ultimate after flashing

Postby youtcham » Sun Dec 04, 2022 1:03

I just flashed my ultimate gunfighter grip with the last version of the firmware.

Since then the smart trigger pressing different buttons depending on thresholds is no longer working, whatever option i may choose.

And the axis linked to the break lever is no longer detected or appearing in the list of axis under the test panel.

What did go wrong? How can i fix it?

Is it a problem with axis and virtual axis? Or some changes made in newer versions.

All was working fantastic for 1,5 year before the flash.

Many thanks in advance

The secondary trigger on the MCG/MCGU grips is an axis and has to get calibrated as one, but it doesn't show in the axes tester. Brake lever is also an axis, but this one will show in tester.
For your issue, make sure you've flashed the correct firmware - unlabeled firmware for the orange Black Box and MKII labeled firmware for the black Black Box. Press Default button after reflashing and recalibrate. The flashing process is here, the calibration process here. Also, this guide shows various settings you could activate on your grip.

Thanks for the quick answer.

I follow the instructions by the letter, when flashing and applying the default profile, it works well.

This is when I reload any of my profiles that there is an issue with the axis, all of them shows the same problem.

Logical axis 5 and 8 shows the value for the HID Usage: Volume-Balance-Bass-Treble instead of RotZ and Dial.

Logical axis 6 shows plenty of values that of plane controls: DiveBreak, FrontBreak, RearBreak instead of Slider.

Everything was working fine before the flashing, hence the flashing must have corrupted something in the firmwre or changed how the axis works.

It seems like the profile you're loading up is broken :(
