If you hack-n-slash configuration files together, there is no guarentee anything will work.

You can open the graphical one in the configurator and then add to it. But copy/paste is a dangerous thing.

I think that if your having issues getting it to work without graphics, it will probably be alot more complicating if you try to add graphics.

If i were you, i wouldnt worry too much about the graphics YET until you get the actual coding for the function correct.. Once you have it working, then you can use the Fusion Configurator to add graphics.

For what i am trying to achieve, i dont need any graphics.. MDX will run minimized.

Custom - Did it work bro?

**customaudioman** · 11-12-2008, 04:36 PM

I tried, nothing works

**Urbanmindz** · 11-12-2008, 04:39 PM

did you run the program AFTER you placed the file in the MDX folder? are you sure you didnt fry your FB? I wish more people that have this working already would participate in this thread for input. I have never done this myself and am trying to help you troubleshoot based on "how its suppose to work" :/

Im pretty sure its gunna be something real simple that was over looked but it would be nice to find out alreay lol

on the XML that custom posted


<iochannel id="Steering Wheel Analogue input" port="0" brain="honda accord fusion brain" type="analogue_input">
<options history="0" auto_average="false"></options>
</iochannel>
<iochannel id="My Analogue Input" port="0" brain="honda accord fusion brain" type="analogue_input">
<options history="0" auto_average="true"></options>
</iochannel>


Is there suppose to be two instances for the same Input?

One says true and the other says false for auto_average. is this right?

"an error" is not descriptive.

MDX must be closed when you replace the file.

As stated above, hack-n-slashing config files WILL NOT work.

Judging from you having 2 inputs with the same ID, my guess is you are taking shortcuts and not actually following either the tutorial which I made just for you.

Follow the tutorial. Add a virtual brain. Take a screenshot (aslo as I stated above).
