Question Victor 884 Calibration Incorrect
Disclaimer: Rookie team.

That said,

The first Victor 884 I get wired up (attached to one of the drill motors) sent the motor into full forward as soon as the power was turned on. To correct this I quickly hit the Calibrate button, wiggled the joystick back and forth, released the Cal button, and the Victor worked just fine. The only problem is that it has to be manually recalibrated everytime the power is turned off and back on.

In order to check for a defect, I hooked up another Victor with the same connections and this second Victor worked correctly with default calibration without manual intervention.

My question is this: Is there a way for the first Victor to remember its calibration, or should I just replace it entirely with another Victor? It still works just fine, its only the calibration that is off (of course, this won't help on the field).

Thanks in advance for the advice.
