Hello all.
Ive been using mobiflight for a good length of time with zero issues. I currently bought the Honeycomb Throttle and all hell has broke loose lol.

The heading OBS turns in 10s value but only when the throttle is plugged in. If i unplug the throttle all is back to 100% operation. I have un assigned all the auto pilot buttons, the selection switch and the encoder but there seems to still be an issue.

Has anyone else had the issue or found a solution?

Many thanks Alex

Hi

I not already own the Honneycomp Bravo Throttle. (Will be my next part i liek to order)

I wondering how these Part should be effected to your setup.
Technical its a HID Device. I not know how Encoders are build but i expect they simulate a Joystick Button for Left and a other for right.

For sure.... If there is a conflict between your Mobiflight Input and the Honneycomp Imput we get in trouble.
So please doublecheck if there is still a button assigment on the Throttle that occure in the conflict ?
Good Luck !

no i am confused by it also. its definitely connected to the throttle as i can replicate the fault many times. There are stages when the mobiflight works as intended but seems to take a while. im confused. as you say its just a HID device so should have no impact on mobiflights performance.

going to do a little more digging around later.

Many thanks Alex

If you like.... Contact me on DISCORD!

Technical the Bravo is not only a HID ( after i think about it again).
It have LED Outputs. So it must be also "something different" next to the HID.
The LED are not bind to Buttons. they are "free".

Means in theory there can be a conflict. But i can not figure out without testing or with more deeper information about the hardware !
Good Luck !

many thanks.

I didnt have the lights working at the time. i have just got that sorted after re downloading the bridge file.

Ive started a new profile and only added a few switches, ran well for awhile so i shut it down and reloaded the sim. The issue was back. will have another look tomorrow. Very tempted to open it up and rewire it via mobiflight and a leo bodnar board lol

regards
