Hi All,

I've been using a Ronin-S on a jib and controlling via a Futaba RC transmitter and receiver. All has been working well and after a bit of tweeking the settings are reliable and sucessful.
I recently bought the Ronin-S Tethered control handle as a back up and possible replacement when batteries run low in the Futaba TX.
The issue I have is that the Tethered joystick introduces drift into the pan and tilt axis which I can't cure via the App. Have tried rebalancing, and resetting Joint Angles but still have the same drift issues. As soon as the Tethered control is removed, everything performs perfect again. If I correct the joystck by slightly pushing on it then the drift will stop so it seems like a mechanical problem in the Tethered control unit.
Does anyone know if this can be fixed by software adjustment or by stripping the unit and mechanically fixing?
Any help appreciated.

You need to calibrate the joystick.

Hi,
Thanks for that, I've recalibrated the joystick and all seems fine now.
