Keys work, plunger does not

Post by AlRoss » Mon Sep 14, 2020 11:37 pm

Connected a few buttons (Start, Launch, Flippers, Magnasave), they all work BUT the plunger itself doesn't.

No motion in VPX. No motion on Z axis in Windows control panel -the plunger is recognized as a joystick no problem.
When I pull the plunger I see the potentiometer moving with its tab being pull by the slot in the 3D printed end cap.

Perhaps I am doing something wrong, or I am missing some setup step?

Thank you,

AR

Hi,

Make sure that you have the plunger plugged into a USB2.0 port if available. If you don't have one a USB2.0 hub into a USB3.0 port will work.

Not all USB 3.0 controllers used on the mainboard of the computer are universal for USB2.0 for some reason.

Replugged into USB 2.0 port. Same keys work great, plunger doesn't move.
