Joystick constantly sending CC's

2009-01-17 by Michael Hawkins

Mark,

My wife is more correct than me and more often so I've learned to keep my mouth shut and listen more often before opening my over opinionated mouth.

But for this one I just have to jump in and no disrespect intended to Fran here but...

I find it virtually impossible to believe that changing any of the switches on the back of the Poly would make any difference to the joystick sending CC's.

What is more common are two things.

i) the joystick pots are old and dirty and are "noisy" as a result. A good spray with "dexoit" or some other electrical contact cleaner will help there.
ii) the joystick adjustment pots have been twiddled with by somebody and now they are out of adjustment.
iii) the joystick electronics has drifted over the years and so they are out of adjustment.

Usually, it's point 1, sometimes points 2 or 3.

Mike.

one of my poly 800's, and my DX27 have been doing the "continuous" part of continuous controller for a while now. I took the poly 800 apart, sprayed it with deoxit. and cleaned the bejesus out of those copper strips.  Plugged it back in. Still spittin out CC. Then I opened it up and yanked the header for the joystick. Pronlem solved right!? No dice... It's still spittin out CC.  I havent gotten around to opening the DX 27 because I know its a nightmare inside there. Probably several boards to disconnect before I even get to the problem assembly. 
But back to the 800.Whence are these adjustment pots of which you speak?
I am going to do the FM mod this week and may as well tackle this while I am in there.

Primarily VR4. However, do not adjust this unless you follow the appropriate adjustment procedure.
