CH Throttle Minijoy

[scout]

Gents,
I purchased a CH Throttle USB at Christmas time. From the very first use the minijoy would stick in up and left positions. Not completely stuck but continues to drift that way until I provide some down or right pressure. I'm sure it an easy fix. Maybe a small dose of some kind of lube of cleaner. I really don't want to have to take it back where I purchased it. It seems frevilous and it is a LONG drive. Can anyone recommend a course of action? :thumbsup:

You might want to try giving the X and Y axis on the mini joystick a larger Dead Zone(15) and possibly a lower Sensitivity (90).

Thanks. Yeah, I already had the deadzone even larger: 20. Following the intent of your suggestion I bumped it of to 50 and will see if that helps.

What do you have the mini joystick programmed to be? What are your X and Y values in the Test/Calibrate window?

MichaelCHProd,

I am grateful for your replies. It seems no matter what I set the sensitivity and deadzone to I continue to get the drift effect :unsure:

I have never seen this one. :( Send me and e-mail and I will hook you up with a RMA number.
