Hi d,

We do have a document about the joystick electronics section.

It doesn't cover the particular problem that you have (one sided joystick operation) but with the existing document, plus some discussion here, we should be able to nail down a troubleshooting procedure.

I had a look at it on the inside but don't know much about it.
The joystick only seems to work when held downwards. If i move it up or left to right there is no effect.
I didn't notice any file in this group about the subject. not sure that i want to remove the pots on the joystick/the slide pot to test them but i guess i will if i have to.
...advice? anyone... buler...
