Setting up both Axis on the SEM

Postby DieEiserneFaust » Fri Apr 08, 2022 17:34

Hello,
Is there a guide on how to use both Axis on the SEM ? I managed to get both Axis working but the flaps Axis still sends out button signal when moving the axis. In the VKBdevcfg the flaps Axis is recognised but at the same time acts as 3 buttons, this makes key mapping impossible in games. The landing gear Axis works fine.

Buttons in VKBdevcfg strange flickering

Postby DieEiserneFaust » Fri Apr 08, 2022 19:30

Hello,
I followed this tutorial viewtopic.php?f=27&t=6164 exactly as it was descriped. The permanent buttons indeed act as temporary now but when I use the test function in VKBdevcfg the Buttons flicker fast on and off for ca. 10sec after activation, after that they are disabled until switched again. This transfers to games and makes proper key mapping very hard and controls do not work properly. What am I missing ?

To get analog axes on both Flaps and Landing Gear controls you'll have to configure the SEM with 0 buttons on those 2 controls (by pressing Start button while in setup mode), then activate those 2 analog axes through native software.
You'll find everything what you're looking for in this short video.

About flickering buttons post screenshot of Buttons/Physical layer.

Check again the original post, there's 1x G1 pulses on those buttons, your have 0. I think that was an issue with one of the older firmware version, just try other functions on the 4 buttons and in the end it'll settle to the right G1 1x position.

I set it to G8 and then back to G1 and then it shows "Pulses 1"and works fine.
Can the firmware be outdated as you mentioned ? since I just bought it about 2 weeks ago.

It's just a small issue, don't have to reflash to correct that; once in place, it won't create issues anymore.
