STECS both main axis jittering

Postby kosta » Mon Jan 20, 2025 19:43

Hello,

at times I experience jitters on two main axis on the STECS. If I look in the VKB Device Config, I can also see it in the test window. The numbers start changing erratically. It will happen at 11,000 and also 26,000, just as a test. The numbers start changing couple of hundreds around the steady number, and I can visually confirm that the throttle in the sim is jittering. It will stop by itself.
It happens only sometimes, but I can't say if it's in conjunction with something else.
I already tried re-calibrating couple of times.
Do you know what this might be, or may it be faulty?

Thanks

Show the Profile-Axes and Profile-Detents tabs.

Rebooted computer, now of course nothing is happening. Not sure if this can be caused by any software coming after the throttle. Or maybe by plugging the throttle after reboot?
Anyway... screenshots attached. Nothing there but default I believe. I have little need to touch the VKB software really.

Watch this video for a full understanding of the axis settings, but do this first.

I don't get it. Why do you want to force me to set detents in the VKB software, since I told you I have no real need for that? The aircraft I fly have their own detent-module, so I merely put the phy. detents, and do everything else in the aircraft.
Do you have a reason why I should be setting up detents in the VKB software too?

Any strong magnetic fields near the throttle? Transmitter antennas, wireless chargers or anything? Wifi routers or phones in extremely close proximity are common culprits.

That is actually a good point - my phone. It is definitely sometimes beside the TQ. Will see if that might be causing the issue. Thanks.
