Check Hardware

HowTo check if the hardware is working correctly

Before opening a support ticket because a device is not working, it is highly recommended to confirm your hardware is working correctly.

For devices, that show up in Windows USB Gamecontrollers:

• Close SPAD.neXt and any flight sim

• open browser and navigate to https://gamepad-tester.com/

• Select the device in question. (Device not listed: Hardware problem)

• Press all buttons / switches in questing, and observe if the B-values on the webpage will change.

• Values do not change: It's a hardware issue. Maybe USB cable not connected firmly

For Saitek Multipanel/Radiopanel/Switchpanel:

• You can download the old Saitek Testapplication here

For other devices:

• Close any FligthSim and open SPAD.neXt

• In SPAD.neXt enable the programming mode (the "Lego"-Icon next to the save icon on the lower left)

• Open the Event-Monitor , Undock it and start it.

• Press the switches/buttons in question

• Check the Event-Monitor sees the events.
