Loss Of POV / Hat Switch Mode Change LED Indicator

Postby Kahuila » Sun Oct 18, 2020 21:45

Aloha folks,

I recently purchased a pair of Gladiator NXT Premium sticks (left and right).

I really liked the idea of being able to change the Main RGB LEDs color however I found an issue after using the VKB Device Config software to do so. Changing the color and behavior of the RGB LED (this LED is called LED #10 in the config software) you have to use the "Set" function to write the new parameters to the joystick and set the new color. Upon doing this I noticed that the indicator LED for the POV / Hat switch (switch position "A1" on the Gladiator NXT premium) no longer indicated and lit up when the mode was switched, instead it would now remain dark. To only way to regain the functionality of the LED that I have found, is to revert the device back to default on-board firmware settings with the Config software.

I have tested the software extensively to see if maybe I am doing something wrong to cause the loss of the indicator, but I do not think that I am. I have found that if I revert the sticks back to "default" and then simply click the "Set" button to send the default settings from the VKB Device Config Software that I lose the function of the LED. That is with NO CHANGES made by me and simply sending VKB's default configuration from the Config software it will disable the LED indicator but yet the Default Devices On-Board firmware settings enable it.

In testing I have found that this LED is designated LED #11 by the software and I can not reassign it the emulate the action it is intended to do, you can however designate it to light up during calibration, but nothing else.

Anyone have any thoughts or know of a work around to be able to change settings and then set them without losing LED #11?

Thanks!

Show a screenshot of your Leds settings. Otherwise, it is difficult to guess what has changed there relative to the default configuration.

These are the default settings from VKB Device Config software, in this screenshot I have changed nothing. If I click "Set", LED #11 no longer functions as it does with firmware v.2.007. If I use the "Default" tool in the Tools tab, which I am assuming resets the device back to the firmware settings, LED #11 functions as intended.

That did the trick, now I can assign the LEDs to various other actions as well.

I really appreciate it, thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction!
