Anyone have trouble getting Tangent Mapper/Flame to utilize the Element BT panel? It shows up in the OS but not in the Mapper.

Are you using a Mac? I can’t get my Ripple to be recognized in Flame unless I open the Tangent Synapse app and roll the balls around before I open Flame.

Solution provided by Stephane:

You can add any modules not visible this way:  
-make sure Flame does not run  
-start Tangent Mapper  
-File menu: Panel Configuration  
-Add missing modules or panel
