You can program in a deadband to encompass the inaccuracies (over-accuracies, I guess, if that is a thing). We use wired Xbox controllers, and we have to do the same.
Just last week we were diagnosing a wonky motor-controller on our kit bot. After immediately blaming the software team (it is always software's fault!
) and then checking all the wiring, including replacing the motor-controller, we determined that that it was, in fact, a deadband issue. Once we determined the culprit it was quickly fixed. I am not a programmer, so I have no idea how they did it (witchcraft, I presume) but the kit bot works fine now.
