Is it possible to connect 2 BlackBoxes?
Posted: Wed Apr 25, 2018 22:35
Since I expect to receive my long awaited Gunfighter+MCG Pro soon, I should be one step closer to solve the toebrake-problem of my T-Rudders. However, there is a problem, that being that the BlackBox/NJoy32 controller can only act as one HID joystick and thus is limited to 8 axis (although it is able to read in more, they are only available for Axes2Buttons functionality of trigger and brake lever, maybe for A2B in future), which is just not enough to include seperate brake axis for both toebrakes (needed for certain games, e.g. DCS).
The problem can be solved with software solutions (JoystickGremlin and the like), but I would honestly prefer it to be done by the BlackBox. Upon closer inspection of the (english only) VKBDefCfg manual and other materiel, I stumbled upon the Ext checkbox in the physical axis configuration screen (which the manual specifies purpose to be handover to external device, however (english) documentation is lacking here).
Question thus is: Is it possible to connect a BlackBox to another Blackbox using one of the two unused USARTs (one of the acting as external device for second one) and handover some of the axis to the second one?
Would be thankful for any help.....great thing about VKB is the possibilities with products nand I just cant leave them untouched
