Re: Neutral for joysticks isn't 127

I cannot discourage you enough not to mess with the calibration of the Victors.

Use the factory cals. The other way lies madness!

I am serious. Rescale your joysticks in code if you have to but I think you will be very very sorry if you start messing with the cals on the Victors.

There are lots of good reasons not to recal the Victor, but one of the best is that if you ever blow a Victor and replace it you will have to recal, and probably right before the championship round, if Murphy's Law holds.

The non-centering joystick is easy to solve in software, stay away from the Cal button on your Victors...
