STECS sending erratic inputs

Postby gequatro » Wed Apr 10, 2024 5:43

Hey, I was developing a space sim game on unity and tried to use my STECS as the thrust axis which is where I found an issue. The throttle is sending the MAX/MIN value for the axis between the correct inputs specially when I'm not moving any of the axis as much. I could see the wrong inputs on unity's input debugger. After some tests I could confirm that the issue is not exclusive to unity since I could also see the erratic values on the online HID explorer (https://nondebug.github.io/webhid-explorer/).
The following is a recording where I'm not moving the throtle at all and it's sending 2 different HID messages back and forth as we can see on the HID explorer.

The throttle does work normally on the following (not really sure how, maybe those just ignore that borked message somehow?):
- Any non unity games (tried on DCS, IL2, ED).
- Windows USB Game controller properties
- VKB joy tester and vkbdevcfg tester pages
- any other joystick tester I could find online

I would really like a solution for this since with the current implementation I cannot use it on any game that uses the unity engine (I can confirm the issue on my game running on the unity Editor and on Fly Dangerous).

I sent a message on discord and another user "Dead-Walking" could confirm that his STECS does the same thing when opening on the HID explorer so I don't think this issue is exclusive to me but I'm happy to provide more details or help dig a bit deeper to find a fix.
