PSA: x56 hardware calibration reset.

[Turd Ferguson]

just found this and thought I'd share.

this resets the hardware calibration (in NVRAM on the contoller iteslf) and fixes among other things, the rudder axis not centering. this resets the factory calibration on the controller itself and is not dependant on drivers or any software. you may need to reset your deadzones and other workaround configs you may have done to deal with bad hardware calibration.

i think whoever wrote these instructions was not a native English speaker but its decipherable.

Throttle
Axis calibration process for Throttle:
1.Move all axes to max and min twice.
2.Meanwhile make TGL4 down,TGL3 down,TGL2 up(show buttons 14,17,19).
3.Calibration is completed when all lights go out.

Clear axis calibration process for Throttle:
1.Meanwhile make TGL3 down,TGL2 up(show buttons 14,17) before device power on.
2.Meanwhile make TGL4 down,TGL3 up(show buttons 16,19).
3.Clear calibration is completed when all lights go out.

Stick
Axis calibration process for Stick:
1.Move all axes except x/y axes to max and min twice.
2.Move the X axis to min and meanwhile press the buttons Trigger and B and D(show buttons 1,3,5).
3.Calibration is completed when all lights go out.

Clear axis calibration process for Stick::
1.Meanwhile make button A down,HAT1 up,Flying Pinkie down,Mini stick button down(show buttons 2,4,6,7).
2.Clear calibration is completed when all lights go out.

Thanks for this!

Reseting X56 involve some problems after that.

WARNING: These instructions did fix my re-centering problem, but they also reversed the Y-input scale on the mini-stick and on Throttle side, it reversed my throttle axis (1 & 2). So a dead zone value is applied between 0 to a given value... to the full gaz and not to full idle :D

Logitech denies knowledge of these issues...
