| "dirty" potentiometers?? (with AKI ) |

I have the spring loaded pots from a world series cp and I bought the AKI from Dave. I believe I have wired them correctly to both X and Y axis' then grounded the Z axis as specified for unused axis'. But my problem is, when I calibrate the controls, they seem to flicker around and don't seem to want to go to their extreme positions consistently. Is there some kind of pot maintenance/cleaning that my controls need? I am 100% sure it is wired correctly so I'm thinking it's the pots or something related to them. |

I had the same problem in beta. We tried changing the timing of the polling and this and that. It ended up that I needed to rewire the stick itself and the problems went away... and that I needed to ground (or unground) to the chassy I can't remember. but if anyone knows how to clean a pot. I would love to hear. |

wow at those prices... it might be worth buying another pot based joystick on ebay and hope for a better set. |

(or swap ground with axis, or any combo of the three) |
