you do not need to manually calibrate (with a pin in the joystick holes) there is a free online based calibration GUI. It works for Dualshock 4 & Dualsense controllers.
The calibration with the pin is better because its an hardware modification. The online tool just make your controller Think that your stick is not moving. Using the online tool is good for an aditionnal layer to the pin calibration to never see your controller drift
I thought that truly centring the magnet with the pin is the best way tbh. Software is great, but any software can corrupt or cause unwanted issues 🤷♂️
Software calibration is what Sony do in the factories, because even brand new potentiometers are not 100% centred or ranged correctly With Hall effect, if the magnet is very far off, I would do a bit of manual calibration, then software calibration, otherwise you’re going to have major range/circularity issues and this will show mainly in fps games Although these cheaper Hall effects are still pretty bad in comparison to Favor Union Hall effects or TMR sticks, which don’t really need any manual calibration, just software.
Great fix Dwayne! It was super simple and straight forward and I like that you talked about how you did things, your thought process and all that. I did notice the left stick wasn't 100% dead center. But I'm guessing it's just me who would sit for hours just for that .03% improvment 😅. Also. F solder suckers. So much work with them. Gotta keep em clean, gotta keep em lubricated. I prefer solder whick :)
Thank mate as always! Yeah the left could have been more perfect for sure. I think it will be eliminated by deadzones anyway and could always calibrate further if needed 🤣 I had a really good run with the sucker recently and wanted to give it another go hahah. Didn't quite work out, but it did make the hot air extraction a lot quicker I noticed!
Hey I'm just getting into soldering myself and I seen your solder sucker and I was recommended to NOT buy the one you have but a one with a silicon tip. It's soft and you can get a good seal on the contact and it's also easily replaceable. I don't think youtube allows link but if you want I can send you the link on aliexpress elsewhere. I just got it in the mail today
Hey mate. Oh really? We'll thank you for sharing that with me. There's an contact email in my 'about' section, could you fire me the link over through that? Thanks again 🙌

Thanks for the info, I'll pin the comment so anyone can see 😃

Yes. You don't need the pin calibration. Just calibrate it via software it works perfectly

Thanks for the tutorial
You're welcome ☺️

@@PainfulDwayne it should be in your inbox right now 👍👍
