controller box problems with G2

[skydolphin]

I just bought and installed G2.

I am having a few problems with the included futaba controller.

1. the cord to the joystick port gets warm if switch one is placed in the off position.

Does this indicate an hardware problem?

2. switches two and three do not seem to do anything unless switch one is placed in the on position.

I thought the switches are supposed to be independent of each other. Am I wrong?

3. the values for the sticks keeps jiggling around a small range when I run calibration on them. They never stop jiggling around no matter the position of the sticks.

Thank you.

I suspect there might be a short circuit in your controller... Try to have it replaced where you bought your sim, or call Hobby Services, they are great for customer support...

The circuitry is very simple, so if you have some experience with a soldering iron... But I guess that would void your warranty.

I've found that ANY joysticks, be it the Realflight controller or anything else, will appear to jitter a bit ( even my CH joysticks jitters a bit in the DOS joystick diag programms provided by CH ). Don't worry about it, unless it becomes more than about 1-2%
