Did you talk to Miles yet? With some luck it's only the USB Micro Port on the Arduino Micro. If you find somebody who can solder, he can fix it up for you easely.

 

Got it! He replied and is solving my issue. Great guy and I can`t wait to have my PointCtrl working again.

Hello I have a strange bug and I wanted to know if anybody else has the same :

Pointctrl in working perfectly for me in solo play but as soon as I join a MP server my FCU cursors are really instable, I can see a second cursor on the screen and all my cockpit buttons are moving CCW when I put my FCU cursor on them. I'm not able to move those buttons CW. I verified axes assignations but can't find anything wrong... here is a little (bad) video to show my problem... :

I reported this bug on MilesD Discord and I'm waiting for a solution but it may be usefull to find other people having the same bug 😉

Can anyone please give me some advice and assistance on how to update the firmware? I'm trying to get help in the discord channel, but it is surprisingly not very active.

I've tried both auto and manual updating. In auto, I press the left rest button twice and after the first windows chime I wait 2-3 seconds before pressing a key on the keyboard and the update window just disappears. I've tried different keys and different time intervals and the window always just disappears. In manual, I've opened the device manager and in the view tab, selected show hidden devices. I then view the Ports and double click the left reset button and no Arduino Lilypad device appears. What am I doing wrong?

I'm trying to get my APBs to work and apparently the latest firmware update makes them appear in the DCS controller settings like any other device.

Thanks.

It is a bit tricky. Auto never worked for me and to be honest trying to just remember how I did it in manual mode. Definitely gotta show hidden devices, then to determine which one is Point CTRL just keep pressing a button and view which one is lighting up when you press it. That is the device you will want to flash with the firmware. I never saw a Lilypad device either. You gotta pay attention to the port that lights up to know which one to flash,

I hope I am remembering that correctly. Keep trying in Discord, Miles is usually very good at helping out there. Perhaps he is away for the holiday weekend.

Thanks, dburne. I was able to get the firmware updated through the manual method. But now, still no dice on the APBs. I'm getting no obvious sign of functionality and they are not appearing in my device list in the DCS control settings in game. After waiting over a year and half for these, I must say its off to a rocky start.

Miles will get you sorted. I saw a post he made on Discord where he was away for holiday and returning sometime today I think.

Thanks. Yes, Miles is in the woods camping, but he did get in touch….

…and for what it is worth, I’ve been following your issue regarding the Varjo Aero. Mine just arrived last week, but I was away and have not had the chance to fire it up yet. Have you posted your overall impressions anywhere? Any tips?

Yes! Thanks again for all your candor, time and troubleshooting the other night. I greatly appreciate it. I know that it probably is not a common issue, but maybe it’s worth mentioning in an FAQ somewhere that certain button box type peripherals may cause a conflict resulting in a malfunction in the APBs. It seems once you had that information, it got us onto the right track almost instantly. I still have not had the chance to update the tek creations firmware, but I will report back and let you know if that ultimately resolves the conflict.
 

Thanks again, Miles. Pointctrl is a great addition to my sim experience.

If you have a small soldering iron, you can probably repair it yourself. If not, I should be able to repair it at no charge. If you can pop the cover and take a pic, I should be able to see if their is any damage.

Hi Miles, as you mentioned requesting quotes from suppliers regarding quantity cost I thought I'd start a list of interested members on this post to help with ordering. I am sure there are more out there who are just following and also on your YouTube channel.

 

To all forum members.

If I missed anyone I apologize in advance please feel free to add your name to the list it's alphabetical just copy/paste a new list same with anyone wishing to add to it or (don't know why anyone would) remove your name if you're not interested in purchasing.

 

Hopefully, this list will go some way to assist Miles when ordering.

Do I get an acknowledgement of receipt for this?
And when will the order be shipped?

Best regards

 
 

Hey A.F.
You should have received tracking, it may be in your spam.. I sent you another link in Discord a few days ago and It looks like it was on the plane.

Thanks for your patience!

I just discovered this product while researching my options for VR vs IR with touchscreens.  WoW!  This looks amazing.  I'm curious what the current lead time is for this as compared to the initial release.   Is it still a year to receive?
