Re: joystick sensitivity

Are you working with the white joysticks ? If so the best thing you could do is throw them away and get some new ones. We used 1 of them last year to control our arm and i wished we hadn't. I happen to be both the programmer and the arm operator and i did the best i could to get them some what usable. Anyway here are some possibilities.

What you can do to fix this problem is put a parabola in your joystick code, this makes the beginning movements less sensitive. I think if you look through the white papers, in the programing section you'll find one on adding a parabola.

Other teams have replaced the springs to make the movement less "floppy", in return making them easier to control.
