[Fixed] Gladiator NXT EVO Omni Throttle - Y Axis reading only half course

Postby Fatality » Sun Mar 27, 2022 3:31

Hi, just received my dual Gladiator NXT EVO Omni Throttle pack.
Installed everything following Videos.
The Right hand one is working fine.
The Left hand one has a problem: the Y Axis on throttle only read numbers from 32767 to 65535,
wrong original description -> so only the lower half get readings, once it reach half course, the upper part doesn't read anything.
edited with the right one -> at the closest position to me (lever down) the reading is 65535, and at the furthest position (lever up) it's at 32767, where it should read 0.

I did remove the spring on it so it acts like a real throttle. And I also tightened the dampers to get more friction.

I found another post from a guy that you helped here viewtopic.php?f=25&t=6402#p53762
So I downloaded that new firmware, and followed the guide. But it didn't fix it.

I didn't flash the Right hand one yet that's why the firmware shows different names, and since it's working fine "if it's not broken, don't try to fix it" is my rule #1.
I'd appreciate some quick help !

Apparently, during the calibration, the lever was in the zero position (toward itself). Although the axis is declared with the center (daw Cn).
Try to uncheck, Set, calibrate again from the zero position.
Then compare the numbers in the columns KdHi, KdLo, Bias, Base with those shown in the screenshot.

Apologies, I described the problem wrongly, and will edit the original post.
at the closest position to me (lever down) the reading is 65535, and at the furthest position (lever up) it's at 32767, where it should read 0.

Please read again Ron's message and do what it says. In case it's not clear - when you start calibration make sure the grip is in the MIDDLE position, not the ends of its range (like where it'd be if there would be springs to hold it). In that position press the Start Calibr and continue like in the guide.

That totally fixed the problem. Now I kinda understand why the calibration numbers in the profile where changing all over the place from on try to the other...
Im sure many more will run into that problem, cause removing the spring and tight the dampeners when you install it on monstertech mounts is the first thing you do, even before turning up your computer and start the calibration process...
Thank you for helping ! and sorry If I posted on reddit both in hoggit and vkb, I had the problem for nearly 24h and I was going nuts...

Cheers.
