Gladiator NXT Premium Right "Y" Axis issues
I am having a weird issue with a recently purchased NXT premium where the Y axis is not being recognized.
One joystick works perfectly fine, the other one seems to be completely identical but has an issue even after a firmware upgrade.
Edit-i added the default picture instead of the calibrated picture, added the calibrated picture now.

Re: Gladiator NXT Premium Right "Y" Axis issues
Click on the Default button, then calibrate your joystick. While calibrating move the joystick along pitch and roll axes, twist it left and right, move the mini throttle up and down; if you have the Premium version click on the center button of the A1 ministick and when the round red LED on the grip comes on move the ministick in all directions. When done press the End Calibr button.

I have tried that several times, along with the quick 3 button calibration with the same result.

Re: Gladiator NXT Premium Right "Y" Axis issues
I'm sorry, but the screenshot you've posted shows clearly that your device is uncalibrated.

Re: Gladiator NXT Premium Right "Y" Axis issues
I have 3 sticks, one NXT premium left and two NXT premium right.
All three have been calibrated via this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drifi2M50Sw
Here is the video of the three button calibration

Here is the video of the calibration via the program

i have performed the calibration several times before and after flashing the v2.25 firmware.

Re: Gladiator NXT Premium Right "Y" Axis issues
Seems like the large blue LED on the grip is flickering while trying the pitch axis. Open it up and check around the sensor for anything unusual.
Also check again the KdHi and KdLo columns in Physical Axes chart; if they're still all on 255 there's something wrong with your calibration (or maybe your screenshot was taken before calibrating it).

Re: Gladiator NXT Premium Right "Y" Axis issues
Thanks for the after hours assistance, its really appreciated!
Here is a video of the profile as i calibrate it from a default reset, i had not noticed there was no change in the KdHi and KdLo columns

Here is a video of the inside.

I have tried to reseat the connector on both ends, i have disassembled the stick with this video and the magnet was in place, nothing stuck out as wrong.

Edit- i edited the first post to include the calibrated picture that i thought i had uploaded- also i think the led blinking is part of the camera recording as i don't notice any changes.

Re: Gladiator NXT Premium Right "Y" Axis issues
The updated screenshot shows proper calibration, except of y axis, which is stuck. There might be something wrong with the magnet on the y axis sensor; do you think you could take it apart and check the magnet?

Re: Gladiator NXT Premium Right "Y" Axis issues
fallout9 , Thank you for your assistance.
I pulled the magnet out and flipped it because nothing was working, well turns out the magnets are directional as now the stick is calibrating as it should.
