[Solved] Gate-Cont Ministick Horizontal Axis Range
Posted: Mon Jan 21, 2019 23:41
I'm having an issue attempting to get the left analog stick on the MCG Pro to function as an axis input. After following this thread;

I'm ALMOST there. I have both ministicks reading on the Test-Axis page on the Device Config utility. The problem now is that the horizontal axis on the Gate-Cont ministick reads a value of zero (instead of 32767) when the stick is physically centered after an auto calibration. Moving the stick fully right will output 65535, but moving left of center does nothing. I CAN manually adjust the Bias value and play with KdHi and KdLo to get close to the behavior I want, but by doing this manually I either have unused physical travel in the stick, or the physical center does not get close to 32767: that is, the axis value maxes out before the hard stop, or the physically centered value is not quite centered.
My question is if I'm doing anything wrong or if there is an obvious way to get this axis to automatically calibrate like the top ministick, which is behaving exactly as I want it to.
1 - Device model and version - Gladiator Pro Mk II with MCG Pro
2 - Controller Firmware version - Gladiator_MCG_Pro_v1_94_B
3 - Number and type of springs used - as shipped, not that it matters
4 - Тype of cams used - #10 not that it matters
5 - If VKB original software is used, please always mention its version - VKB Dev Config v0.87.05 and Joy Tester version ?????
Working on the screenshots now, I'll edit this post with them shortly.
