Issue: My gladiator nxt has jitter on [b]all[b] axis's.
I have tried updating it and calibrating.
Note: The jittering is a mild jitter but it makes it hard to a/a refuel.

Press the large Default button, then the button called Find&AutoConfig. Go to Test/Axes and click the Start Calibr button, then move all axes through their whole range: pitch, roll, twist, minithrottle. If you have the Premium version click the center button of the A1 ministick (the LED should come red) and move the ministick all around. Press the End Calibr button when done.

well it seems to have made it better but there are some odd things. It jitters very little but I can't tell if its due to some slight movement. Is that normal? Sorry if that's worded odd.

Your joystick is uncalibrated, please do the following:
- press the Default button under Tools tab;
- press the Find&AutoConfig button in Global/External/ExternalDevices;
- navigate to Test/Axes;
- click mouse on the Start Calibr. button and move your joystick along all its axes: pitch (up and down), roll (left and right), yaw (twist it left and right), minithrottle up and down; then click on the center button of the ministick and when the red LED on the grip turns on start moving the ministick left right and up down (the ministick part is only if you have the Premium version; if you have the Standard version you could skip it);
- when moving the joystick do it slowly, covering the full range of the axes, a few times back and forth; the sliders on the screen should follow the action;
- seems like you have other NXT modules connected to your Gladiator, so include all axes on those in this process;
- when done press the End Calibr. button.

I did so but now when I move the axises they slowly fall back a good bit. (i.e: move left it does so and then goes to the right)

I may have found part of the issue. For some reason there are two controllers showing up when there should only be one. The second one has no axis or buttons. While the first one functions and is the one I'm using.

You have 6 axes on your Gladiator NXT (pitch, roll, twist, minithrottle, 2xministick), 0 on the Sem and 3 on the THQ. Total makes 9, which exceeds Windows' limitation of 8 axes per device. The 9th axis (one from the THQ) has been automatically reassigned to a second virtual controller. You could see more on setting up your unit at the end of
this video (after the hardware part).
Important thing: stop using Windows' software on VKB devices, it's messing them up. You didn't tried to calibrate your devices with Windows' joy.cpl, right?

Nope, I did not. Any other ideas to fix the jittering?
