Re: Joystick help (Rookie)

Adam,
Something no one mentioned is to ask the question "Are your speed controllers calibrated?" Quite often, the Victors do not match the charachteristics of your joysticks. Move your joysticks forward and reverse and see at which point the Victor LED is fully red and fully green. If this occurs at less than full travel on the joystick, you need to calibrate the Victor. For teams who do not perform this calibration in the software, the only way to calibrate is following the method in the 884 users manual found on the IFI website. This procedure matches the full travel of your joystick to the full output of the Victor. The joysticks and the Victors are not matched before they are put in the KOP.
