New Version FS2Phidget not recognising connected Phidgets
Hi,
i was using the older version of FS2Phidgets while i was trying to nut out some servo issues i decided to upgrade to the new version. Only one problem it doesnt acknowledge that the Phidget is connected, i tried unplugging and plugging it back in, i tried a reinstall but nothing works.
When i connect and disconnect my phidget manager recognises the connected device however FS2Phidget does not.
Any suggestions

What library are you using? I dont recall if Alan has released a new library yet but I had issues like that because my library was bugged.

I think I remember Alan saying a while back that the new version would work with the NEW Phidgets msi library......... so maybe it also WON'T work with the OLD msi library.
I haven't tried the new upgrade yet. Too busy.
best,

The read me text states that the new version is compatable with the the new library 21 msi so thats what i updated to.
However it still doesnt work ? I thought that was the whole idea for the update so that it was compatible with Phidgets new Library.

Same problem here from last night. It was suggested to uninstall the old version of the library and reinstal the new library. I tried that but it didnt work for some reason. Glad to know Im not the only one. Alan is very good about trying to help though!

Yep, ive tried everything uninstall, install, remove msi, change msi still cant get it to work. there must be an error with the program somewhere as the phidget manager detects the phidgets.
Will have to wait for Alan to check it out and get back to us.

Its giving me grief as well. I keep getting a critical error with FS2Phidget and it crashes to desktop on me.

Guys,
Some immediate thoughts:
I need to update Readme.txt to read:
ONLY runs with Phidget21 Library
Phidget21.msi is not backwards compatible.
Phidget20 library must be unistalled.
Phidget 21 library must be installed.
Some details would help:
De tail - de ting what wags de dog.
Windows version ? XP ? Vista ?
MS-FS Version ? FS2004 ? FSX ?
Check in the tray at bottom right of Windows screen.
If Phidget Webservice is running - Stop service!
Ultimately, set the service to not start at Windwows Start up.
Regards,
Alan

Alan i am running Windows XP sevice pack 2, i run both fs2004 and FSX i have uninstalled the old Phidget 20 msi files and installed the new phidget library 21 msi.
Stopped the webservice as well and FS2Phidgets does still not recognise that a phidget has been connected.
Usually, well in the last version it will show up and indicated by the green tab and you can allocate the variables, calibrate etc however it is doing nothing at all. If i plug and unplug phidgets it just does nothing at all.
