IBU2 help please

Post by essexbill »

Hi.

Yesterday I tried to set up my IBU2 board, calibration went well , and then I couldnt figure out how to progress. I was tired so left it until today.

Start over, blue flashing light on board goes solid, remove the green jumper plug and then I get a message that says system fair check calibration eme file?

How do i do this ?

Thanks everyone.

Just to clarify you remove the green jumper to only calibrate the board. So if calibration was completed the jumper should remain in place. The only time the board speaks to you to warn of low voltage if I'm correct or when you pull green jumper and calibration mode begins.

Is this green jumper plugged in after the calibration?
Tanks alot.... :wave:

Hi.

Yesterday I did the calibration , but other than guns nothing else worked, so I thought I would be able to start again today with a fresh calibration , but sadly all I am getting is the system fail message about an eme file

Bill did you go into the sd card provided and change any of the settings on the ini files? For instance I set my IBU2U boards so that engine start stop is channel 5. Did you alter the settings in any way?

Hi Lee.

I have watched the video that shows you how to do the calibration, which is fine but as for all the settings I cannot find any helpful videos.

Not changed any settings yet when I load the page on my laptop there are loads of values, people have said anything you change can easily be changed back but there's a hell of a lot there.
Sadly I am old and and not very IT knowledgeable.

I have figured out the error message and no longer have that.

All i have is left stick sonds stick up main gun stick down machine gun, left and right a traverse sound plus a general clanking sound which is probably tracks. When Iuse the stick the blue light on the board flashes.

Right stick theblue light flashes but no sounds or movements.
