I recently aquired a G-LOC analog stick, which I have now took apart, cleaned up, painted and replaced the pots for 100k ones.
Now, I wired the 2 pots and 2 buttons up to an old PC stick cable. It works perfectly, until I hit the top button - then it seems to go out of calibration. If I go into the Windows control test screen, and hit this button, the button itself works fine, but the crosshair flicks up/down/left/right randomly and to varying degrees. After this it seems to be out of calibration. The same occurs if I play a game - it works fine til I hit the top button.
The connections are fine and the cable is fine (I tried 2 different cables). The cable from the buttons is a totally separate cable to the pots, so there is no chance of a short.
Anyone seen anything like this before?
It is not a major problem, since I will probably wire the buttons up to my I-PAC for my panel anyway.
Cheers
