That’s what I don’t get.. I followed my pic above exactly .. I did the crisscross in the joystick, and then it’s red, green, yellow, blue (white on the lower cable), black.

No shorts anywhere either.

TheAmazinGreat•4/26/23, 3:30 AM

And you’re certain the 9 pin plug isn’t the issue? I agree at first glance it looks correct. I would unplug the JST XH 5pin from the main board and check continuity between the SR and JST plug. You could also make sure there is nothing shorted together too for good measure.

smittyOP•4/26/23, 3:32 AM

yep i checked for shorts, all good there. all the button pins beep on the meter for continuity when i press the corresponding button. ill check continuity with the 5pin to register board, ive been using this 9pin in this application before with no issues and the female one is brand new

smittyOP•4/26/23, 3:36 AM

everything is good thru the 9pin

TheAmazinGreat•4/26/23, 3:38 AM

Even with nothing connected to the shift register button wise you should see the debug as FF FF FF FF 00 00 00… so to see all 16 FFs to me says it is an issue between the SR and main board.

smittyOP•4/26/23, 3:38 AM

if i yank the 5pin i get all FF FF

TheAmazinGreat•4/26/23, 3:40 AM

So with nothing plugged into the grip plug it’s the same as with the SR plugged in?

smittyOP•4/26/23, 3:40 AM

yep

smittyOP•4/26/23, 3:42 AM

i saw the old posts from stal2k about his FFFF's but his buttons were all lit up.. mine arent. he had a voltage issue but mine reads 5.03 at the 5pin

TheAmazinGreat•4/26/23, 3:43 AM

FF should be unpressed so with all FFs you shouldn’t have anything lit up.

smittyOP•4/26/23, 3:44 AM

yea he had some other unrelated issue i guess, i just remembered someone getting FFFFF 🧰support

TheAmazinGreat•4/26/23, 3:46 AM

I remember that. But that seems like a different issue

TheAmazinGreat•4/26/23, 3:47 AM

Are any of the pins on the 9 pin plug connected to the metal case? Anything touching metal in the enclosure or on your rig that could be causing a short?

smittyOP•4/26/23, 3:48 AM

9pins are in 3dprints, nothing touching metal.
woah this is weird, im just messing with buttons here and if i hold down more than 2, i can get 24,25,26,27 to light up

smittyOP•4/26/23, 3:51 AM

but my button wires are on d0-d7

TheAmazinGreat•4/26/23, 3:52 AM

The D# don’t necessarily correspond to the button number in VPF configuration.

Try the shift register profile

smittyOP•4/26/23, 3:52 AM

been trying both generics and vpf shift reg

Wwalmis Try the shift register profile

TheAmazinGreat•4/26/23, 3:53 AM

Is that not the same as debug?

smittyOP•4/26/23, 3:53 AM

one of the generics is debug

walmis•4/26/23, 3:53 AM

Oh and button layout is different than on silkscreen on this pcb revision

smittyOP•4/26/23, 3:54 AM

its rev01

walmis•4/26/23, 3:56 AM

Try saving the shift reg profile and resetting the board

smittyOP•4/26/23, 3:59 AM

same results

TheAmazinGreat•4/26/23, 4:02 AM

Only other suggestion I have is to eliminate the 9 pin to verify that isn’t the issue. I know I had some issues during bench testing with my connections showing continuity but actually being loose and causing issues. I had to put it down and come back and start from scratch a couple times.

smittyOP•4/26/23, 4:02 AM

if i hold the button on d2 i get no lights, i can get 27 to light while holding d1+d2, and 28 while holding d2+d3..

smittyOP•4/26/23, 4:04 AM

cant really eliminate the 9pin, wont be able to climb in/out of this simulator

smittyOP•4/26/23, 4:04 AM

i have to yank the joystick to get out

smittyOP•4/26/23, 4:06 AM

TheAmazinGreat•4/26/23, 4:06 AM

Just for testing purposes I mean, get it working and then work additional complexity in.

TheAmazinGreat•4/26/23, 4:07 AM

I had a similar issue. I think it ended up being loose/faulty wiring. 🧰support

TheAmazinGreat•4/26/23, 4:07 AM

I ended up rewiring my plugs and reconnecting and send/save a new config and it worked.

TheAmazinGreat•4/26/23, 4:08 AM

I’ve got to hop off, but hope you can figure it out. Keep us posted!

smittyOP•4/26/23, 4:09 AM

will do, thanks for the tips!

Hey m8, those spring detents on your logitech tpm are they your design or did you get them somewhere?

smittyOP•4/26/23, 4:13 AM

smittyOP•4/26/23, 4:14 AM

OH the quadrant

smittyOP•4/26/23, 4:14 AM

Saitek Quadrant Bottom Stop by smitty_fpv

This is a travel limiting stop for the Saitek flight simulator quadrant. Prevent accidental thrust reversing at bottom throttle! With a light pull of the tab you can bump the lever down to hit the switch.

oh cool cheers m8

smittyOP•4/26/23, 4:20 AM

just added the 2nd version to it that has a stop tab on the side, you just put in a m3 cap screw into the plastic as a 2nd stop. works great for thrust reverse etc

PiNKSH!T•4/26/23, 4:21 AM

sory I can't picture what you mean?

PiNKSH!T•4/26/23, 4:22 AM

oh nvm I see the screw in the pic

the one on mixture is for turboprop idle condition

dammit, now i think i killed a usb board facepalm

5v touched cs line by accident, fuck me.

smittyOP•4/26/23, 5:39 AM

going to bed, i think ive broken enough for one night

walmis•4/26/23, 5:41 AM

5V shouldn't kill it

walmis•4/26/23, 5:42 AM

but might damage that pin, though
