Oriole

I dont under stand when he says in the second post you linked to: "On the controller board we find two contacts labeled "BOOT"..." What controller board is he talking about? I can't recognize anything like that inside my collective. I think indeed a firmware reboot of my device would help, but I can't figure out how to do it. Because the VPC Programs and Windows joy.cpl won't respond to the device properly.

Yes, I bought a new cable today to test it. Same problem occurs, so maybe the magnetometer sensing the motion of the collective axis is broken.. (?)

@jnr4817@MAXsenna I am not able to delete the calibration settings in windows joystick tool. This error: "Your game controller is not connected correctly. Please verify that it is plugged into your computer." Will appear when trying to access properties.

Hi. I have the double headed collective and been using it without any problems, until now. The collective axis is faulty. Using the VPC Joystick Tester Tool I can see it recognizing a movement of the axis, maybe once every 20 seconds or so, and it only gives one instant input at the actual position that millisecond. Everything else is working like a charm. The stick has gotten a hit or two when moving the chair around, but I have opened the base controller box and all the wiring and setup looks intact, including the magnetometer for the collective axis. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I have also tried to uninstall the VPC firmware and installed different versions. The collective appears in the USB list, but I'm not able to configure a profile or anything. It's like it doesn't recognize the collective as what it is. Also I get the following error in the windows "Game Controllers" when trying to access it "Your game controller is not connected correctly. Please verify that it is plugged into your computer." Thanks.
