PSA: If your X56 stick has problems after using logitech's software, read this

[legitscoper]

Some X56 just break when using Logitech's X56 H.O.T.A.S software. When I tried to set a J-curve, after the change, when I was pulling the stick, values were jumping to max values in 2 places. Same with X axis, but even worse. The same thing can happen when you click calibration button. Here is the fix:

1. Remove the stick from base

2. Unscrew it. You will find a green board

3. Remove white board connector

4. De-solder the hall sensor chip (the one with 8 legs, pretty small, sitting next to magnet mounted on sitck). Remember it's oriention, take a picture, or just match the chip's dot indent with the printed dot on board

5. Connect white board connector, do not assemble the stick base back, not needed

6. Connect the base via USB to PC

7. Run a calibration inside the software. 

8. Disconnect the stick

9. Remove the board again

10. Solder back the sensor

11. Assemble everything back.

12. Connect, and voila! It works, at least works for me, and worked 2 times.

13. Do not ever use the software for any curve settings, I use it for RGB only. You might also have a problem of having off-center axes, as it's pretty hard to solder the chip back 100% precise. In this situation you can try to adjust the board position using the 4 screws, and maybe some spacers, or use external software to tune it.
