Found the time to do this, still the exact same behavior as when it's connected through the board. I've tried 3 joysticks so that pretty much rules out me having ruined the joystick potentiometers.

How should I remove that?

I've been messing with this all day and haven't been able to fix it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I just tried this with two 1k and then two 5k resistors and all it did was lower the sensitivity of the stick. The curosr still moves faster right than it does left, and faster up than it does down. As a random test I rewired up the gamecube joystick that worked fine previously, and now it has...

Could you please explain this in an even simpler way, I don't understand how the resistor connection is being illustrated in your diagram. What points/wires should have resistors on them? Forgive my ignorance :roll: previously I tried: X data -> resistor #1 -> n64 Y data -> resistor #2 ->...

Here is a video illustrating the problem: https://youtu.be/kOiBozBTA74 I hooked up a PS2 joystick to my makopad/superpad plus controller board and the stick is drifting up to the top right of the screen when left idle. I have tried clearing the solder pins and resoldering the wires but the...

I put 5.1k resistors on the X and Y data wires and it slowed down the drift but didn't solve it at all. It just lowered the sensitivity of the problem. The drift is actually worse today than it was last night, the cursor moves to the top right of the screen by itself after about 2 seconds of...

Would they go on the data or the voltage? Also I've completely desoldered my C-Up/Down and D-Up/Down signal and ground wires from the board and yet my character is STILL staring up at the ceiling in GoldenEye and Perfect Dark. WTF is going on??

I have a bag full of resistors, what would you recommend? Side note, now I'm dealing with an issue where the system thinks I'm holding down the C-Down button. Duke Nukem won't stop walking backwards and my character stares at the sky in Perfect Dark and GoldenEye... :?

I rotated it 180 degrees and swapped the X and Y axis data wires and now it works correctly. However when I play GoldenEye the cursor drifts slowly up and right (+X +Y) no matter where the location of the stick is... which makes me wonder if its a wiring or resistance issue instead of a deadzone...

its not upside down. rotating it would invert the Y axis.

I've done that by accident already and it shorts out the board. I have to wait 10 minutes before the board starts working again.

I just wired up a 1st party gamecube joystick to my makopad board and it works correctly, no inverted axis... how do I fix the inverted X axis on the PS2 joystick?

Solved: Solution is to rotate the joystick 90 degrees so that the X axis is the Y axis and vise versa. Then connect the Y wire to the X axis data wire and the X wire to the Y axis data wire. If your Y axis is inverted, swap your power and ground wires with each other and it will fix the issue...

That's pretty much the conclusion I reached from testing with a multimeter. I'm waiting for my li-on batteries to charge right now... trying to figure out a way to rig up the n64 PSU to the board without having the connector for it. Edit: Just tested it with the N64 PSU rigged up to the board...
