trigen Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Hello chaps Years back i was unlucky and caused a short on my grip but i had the WH so i didnt mind. But i'd like to use the CTS Cougar/WH profiles now and its Fing things up. Have any of you had this issue and managed to fix it? If i restart the stick it will be ok for a random short amount of time. 30 sec, 1 min or so if not touched The board is grounded. There are no wires or potentiometers to the connections. Tried to set max DZ on X Y, no change. Erased FW, reflashed. Throttle is working perfectly. Stick will reset if i remove unplug the throttle. Here's my issues in the CTD profile that ive also posted in the main post there. Perhaps its possible to avoid it but a proper fix would be good.

Thadiun Okona Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 I'd be looking for a short to ground in the miniDIN or pigtail that connects it either in the grip or in the base. It's pretty easy to pinch a wire in the metal shell if they're not perfectly tucked and I've seen them that way from the factory (I've opened up a lot of these and Warthogs).

Thanks for the suggestion on the grip. the shift register got fried due to a short when a couple of wires got pinched and i couldnt find the wire fault after a lot of testing. Also the shift register soldering proved very difficult without a hot air station so that's on my list for purchases later on. Ive scavenged the buttons for another project though so its officially dead. In the meantime I took a chance and tried to connect the pins together to see if i could trick this polling that seems to happen after 1 minute and it has done the trick! I haven't seen any increase in heat anywhere using a IR thermometer. Guess i got lucky cause i was looking at a daunting task! 1080 ti, i7700k 5ghz, 16gb 3600 cl14 ddr4 oc
Habu_69 Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 So the 2 green wires are a jumper between the 2 pins?
