JS6000 and JS1 Interoperability

[jraber]

Hello,

A client of mine is trying to physically use a JS1 in place of the obsoleted JS6000 and I am being told that it is not working. In our program we are using the JS6000_CANPlus block for handling this input, but I would think that all that is doing under the hood is parsing the raw CAN messages into an easy-to-use form. According to the data sheets of the JS6000 and the JS1 they use the same PGNs (0xFDD6, 0xFDD7), and I have verified this using the CAN logger in service tool. Same connector, same PGNs, so I would think it should be a plug-and-play upgrade, but apparently that is not the case (according to our client).

Does anyone have experience with this kind of hardware upgrade? Confirm or deny that it should "just work"?

Thanks,
JT

JS6000-0126MK7, I also see JS6000-NY-CPL-F-S-FB-N-J341-A0BD-R-S-NNNNNNNR. The joystick has 2 tags on it, with serial numbers 18361744 and KD00029737.

JS1H, serial 32241157 (and that is all the info on the joystick)
