For the Fat Mamba it worked by setting Reg N to 5 from 4, and doing nothing more. 33-34 is already assigned by rdr trim anyway. Then it regs as 57-58. However, 57 is already foldable trigger up. So, disabling 57 in the physical layer profile #Reg8 Line 1: NoF makes sense.

When setting 3 positions on the trigger I see strange behavior. It is normal? I attach an image

First of all, the secondary trigger is also an axis and has to get calibrated - yours show that it haven't been calibrated; please see the guide on how to calibrate the MCG Pro and follow it without skipping any steps.
Second, there are some options to configure the secondary trigger:
- Enable MCG Pro Trigger: has to be checked in order for the secondary trigger to work;
- Safe: if checked the logical button 25 will be activated when the trigger is in position;
- Armed: if checked the logical button 28 will be activated when the trigger is in position;
- Fire 1: if checked the logical button 26 will be activated when the trigger is in position; it also has a slider which could be adjusted to set up the button position the trigger axis;
- Fire 2: if checked the logical button 27 will be activated when the trigger is in position; it also has a slider which could be adjusted to set up the button position on the trigger axis;
There's also a Pulse check box - if checked then the inputs will just flash instead of staying on when trigger is in assigned position.

These identical numbers (255) indicate that the axis is not calibrated.

Hey Billy! You're using really old software and firmware; please follow this guide to flash and calibrate. After this you'll get access to the brake lever settings.

Does this work with MCG Ultimate ?
Tried many times, couldn't make it work.
Green - orange leds are displayed on BlackBox

Yes, this does work with MCGU. The process in identical.

Make sure the box for "Enable MCG PRO Trigger" is checked, as well as boxes for Safe and/or Armed (as you need). Check off Pulse button if you want to send momentary button press. Press Set.

Just remember that flip trigger is an axis, so if it's not been properly calibrated, it will not work. To calibrate the flip trigger: Prior to calibration, place it in safe position (up) then in armed position (down). Then start calibration, move it up, then down, then pull all the way.
