Display frequenties GF166A lights off

zoelenaw

Hi Steve,

Have just started with Pollypot and am trying to configurate the standard 737-800 with GF166A with the download from the site. Wonder why sometimes the lights work and show the frequencies and sometimes not. The rotary knobs do work. Another question...have multiple GF166A modules. Is it possible to copy the settings from one GF166A to another...?


Thanks for your help.

Kind regards,

Hi Anton,

Do the knobs work when the displays are blank? Have you disabled Windows power management on the GoFlight devices and the USB hubs they are connected to?

Best wishes

Hi Steve,

THanks for your quick respons. Yes the knobs do work all the time, and the lights sometimes...Have unchecked the energy power management option for every usb-hub that is connected to to GF-modules as on the other usb-hubs that I use. Don,t know how to find the power management on th GoFlight modules...please advice...

The lights on my other GF-modules..T8,P8 etc... do work...

Thanks for your time...

Kind regards,

Hi Steve,

Found out that if I push button Identify on my GF166 modules the lights do not go on. On the otherGF-modules they do go on (P8.T8)

Anton, it sounds like you have the same problem as I had. Try what I did in this topic. Since doing it my 166s have been fine. https://www.pollypotsoftware.org.uk/vanillaforums/discussion/1010/gf-166-and-gf-46-lighting-up#latest
