RFC Rudel Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 the sliders and all potentiometers (rotaries) can be cleaned with a fast end to end fast movement. Also many problems are do to usb power. Try to use a usb powered hub that use decent cables, route the usb cables so don't end up crating a tesla coil around ups/power cables´ early x52 great early x52 pro great happy 6 months of use on any madtcaz device.....
Ala12Rv-watermanpc Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) What will be easy if they use 0,99$ pot instead 0,09$ one in this axis... :) thats the thing, I would pay 20 or 30 $ more for the joy but with a properly working potentiometers...what a pity. the sliders and all potentiometers (rotaries) can be cleaned with a fast end to end fast movement.

I dont have any USB hub but I have read lots of people with it and seems like rotaries/slider is always jittery no matter where or how you connect it...also I will have present what you told me about the way wires are set, but right now I have them deployed in all lenght and still having jitter problems... Also tried moving very fast several times the slider to see if it improves but meh!, maybe a little bit but still jittery... I wish I could have one of those "old" units with better quality :cry:...I guess rotaries and slider work well on those right?? About the happy 6 months...well now you are scaring me mate!!:cry: Edited February 5, 2016 by watermanpc Take a look at my MODS here

Sokol1_br Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 thats the thing, I would pay 20 or 30 $ more for the joy but with a properly working potentiometers...what a pity. Supposed the manufacturer have better profit using 0,09 pot than using 0,99 ones... :music_whistling: When the warranty expire you can replace the pot with contactless sensors, e.g. ones sold be GVL224 ~10$.
Ala12Rv-watermanpc Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 But why would I clean my potentiometers now?? the joy arrived 2 days ago and its NEW??...do they come dirty right from the shop???:huh: Take a look at my MODS here
HiJack Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 If you plan to use the slider as zoom like me then this setting will get rid of the jitter but will limit the zoom to 5 stages but it works better than the "shaking" you sometimes get from the slider. It has worked flawlessly for me for many years :thumbup: Try it out:
Ala12Rv-watermanpc Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 thanks dude!!I will try it!!:thumbup: Btw...is it possible to have the joy "installed" in more than 1 USB port???...I would like to try it in different ports and see how it works...right now if I plug it in other USB system tells me that drivers are missing, which is a non sense at they are installed...as I said, I knew that by plugging the joy in a different port you lose your config but not that it just wont work at all...

HiJack Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 As noted earlier it is important to have a USB2 port and Legacy USB support enabled in bios. Driver must be installed in "Administrator" mode.

Driver must be installed in "Administrator" mode. I have USB 3.0 and 2.0. Right now I have the joy plugged in USB 2.0 and works perfectly fine so I dont think I need to change anything in the Bios right??...I installed drivers as admin also and they are correctly installed...the "problem"? is that if I plug the joy in other USB 2.0 port, it doesnt work :huh:...very weird...
