Hi Artem, hi Andrew,

I just noticed on setting up LINDA 4.0.5.173 with an ARCAZE USB HID that there seems to be an issue having multiple virtual HID devices based on the same Hardware ID.
Still shows the same assignment page and thus doesn't allow to assign multiple functions as then the Button-IDs between the different devices are shared.

In Arcaze you are able to create multiple virtual HIDs (here "Lights" and "AirCondEng" named) and assign the 40 digital and 6 analogue inputs to Joystick buttons.

As Arcaze has more Inputs than a normal Windows HID, you can split that to multiple "virtual" HIDs.

In Windows (10) it's shown correctly then and you can test the different devices and calibrate independently.

Also in LINDA they are shown as two different "Joysticks" with different names (like assigned in Arcaze Config) but with same SerNo and IDs. (as the HW is the same)

I noticed that in the assignment page between all other Joysticks the "table" with the assignments changes, but not in case you're switching between those HIDs.
It remains the same, and if you assign Button 4 from AirCondEng you just overwrite the assignments of Button 4 of Lights..

As you can see after switching the same assignments remain:

It would be great, if you could check that for the next version.

Thanks a lot in advance and keep your great work!

Hi Joe

Thank you for your detailed report. I have not come across these USB cards before. I can see one problem under the Joysticks Setup screenshot. The cards have the PID/VID of 1690/FE13 and the identical serial number 000229201200 which is not as expected. This means LINDA treats them as the same card.

I suggest you try 2 manual edits to ensure that LINDA treats them as separate cards. You need to have a unique ID of 1690FE130 and 1690FE131 respectively. This edit needs to be made the config-hid.lua files in /linda-cfg/aircrafts/{your aircraft} and /linda=cfg/system.

Also check the Game Controller utility and Properties to check that Windows is seeing the buttons on these devices.

The manual edit i'll try.
The buttons and axes are completely correct in the USB-GameController Settings of Windows. I just forgot to take screenshots. 🙂
Thanks for you fast reply.

Hey Andrew, 

You'r great.
I just deleted the (of course backuped)

LINDA-CFG\Aircrafts\A320\config-hid.lua

 and re-did the LINDA Joystick setup. Afterwards i got different IDs and now everything is fine.
Noi Idea why that was screwed up.

Helped me a lot! Thanks!
Joe
