GF 3 X axis no longer working

Postby Farnley » Fri Dec 16, 2022 16:00

decided to upgrade the springs in my GF III to No 50. All went well , disassembled re assembled and now have a problem .

Y and Twist axis work , X axis shows no real input (it flickers about 10 units) . All the buttons work on the stick


Grip SCG Left hand

1. i have flashed a few times , now on latest 2.122 firmware
2. i have tried recalibrating and setting to default including reboots of PC
3. i swapped out the black box, Mark 2 for the one is use for the rudders -both show a blue and green light, blue flashes rapidly
4. i looked at all the connections in the joystick , the little white connects to make sure they are firmly connected
5. i ve switched USB cable including the port it uses on the PC
6. i ve checked full physical movement of the cams etc


any ideas is there a way i could have shorted out something , or is a particular connector i need to re look at , is there a way of using jumpers to wipe the info on the stick

Show tabs Global-External, Profile-Axes, Test-External Devices from the configurator after calibrating the axes.

Open Settings and check the box as shown in the picture. Now, when starting the calibration, you can select certain axes, and not all. Calibrate only the first axis until the numbers 255, 255 change - without this, the axis will not work correctly.
