The blue led near the f1 button and the red led near the f2 button are blinking opposingly

Hello! I have an nxt with an attached thq module. Yesterday i messed up the settings while trying to split the twist axis, so i pushed the default button. After that, i recalibrated the device, and even managed to split the axis correctly. However, since that, if i click to finish calibration, the t...

Nope, they weren't available at all. I checked it about every hour.

It is available in america since a month ago. Apparently we are second grade customers who doesnt deserve the upgrade kit OR answers.

Hi! I would also like to know when we can order the upgrade kit. It is available in america since a month ago, and i think we reached the beginning of july, which was the scheduled time for europe.

Sorry, i was not accurate enough with my description. I would need the left and right half of the movement range of the twist as a different axis, to assign them as left and right toe brake.

Hello! My question is this; if i have a vkb gladiator nxt+gnx thq throttle, can i split up the stick twist axis to use it as a toe brake? And if yes, how? I can't do it the ways suggested in this forum, because i can't assign more than 8 axes, and they are all used with the gnx thq. I wouldn't need ...

Picture of the pivot.

A little update on the problem. After a night of thinking and planning, i disassembled the stick, and measured the thickness of the shaft, and lo and behold, its 0.05 mm thicker at the outer end of the sliding surface. With 2000 grit very fine sandpaper, i sanded the diameter even, and rounded the e...

This is the culprit.

I can take it apart and take pictures, but there is no visible problem, everything looks brand new and flawless. Even if i made a video, you would not see the force necessary to move the gimbal. But the problem is still the unnecessary friction between the parts i mentioned.

I forgot to mention that the surface of the shaft and the hole are flawless for the naked eye. No unevenness, no scratches or foreign material. The shaft is grooved obviously for the grease lubrication, but apart from that, the contacting surfaces are smooth.

It is difficult to rotate the shaft inside the block, regardless the type of lubrication. The other shaft moves entirely freely in its own plastic block, even without any grease. I can't cross check the two blocks (i.e. swap them to see if the problem is from the shaft diameter or the hole diameter ...

Thanks for the immediate answer! The stick is not disassembled right now, but i'll find a fitting picture. There is a plastic block (the one with the notches for the cables from the grip) which the gimbal shaft goes through, and the shaft moves "stickily" in this block. In the atteched pic...
