Multiple USB Controller with same name Problem

Post by rozelc »

I have made a switch and throttle axis panel using 2 BUO836A USB controller by Leo Bodner. The controller switches operate switches in the A2A Comanche as desired. However, the analog axis don’t control the desired axis in the Sim.
If I connect only 1 controller at a time I can use the Comanche Input Configurator app to bind the USB interface axis to the desired control in the sim.
If I connect both USB controllers the USB axis don’t bind to the sim. But A2A Comanche Input Configurator window Preview column display is as normal fig. 01


Fig 01.

I thought I had made the classic mistake of building a boat in the basement to large to get outside.

By trial and error, I found if I did the following I could make things work.

Process to make 2 usb controllers work.

01. Unplug usb 2.
02. Reboot set axis bindings for usb 1 using Comanche Input Configurator.
03. Start P3d v4.1 to Piper Cub
04. Switch to A2A Comanache, axis bindings now control the desired Function in the Sim.
05. Plug in usb 2 while the Comanche is still running.
06. Close and restart the Comanche Input Configurator set the axis bindings for usb 2 using Comanche Input Configurator.
07. At this point the Comanche sim axis functions are controlled by desired usb axis.


When I exit the sim I must execute the above with reboot to get things working again.

There are 2 questions:
Has anyone successfully built a control panel using 2 Leo Bodner usb controllers?
Is there a simpler way to bind usb axis to Comanche functions?

Thanks for reading.

When using multiple Leo bodnar cards you have to upload firmwares to them with diferent ID in order to be seen as different devices.
