Devo 10 + Deviation 4.01 + Heli-x = 50% throttle

I've setup Heli-x on my laptop and setup a model on the Devo 10 using USBHID. Aileron, elevator and rudder are all detected in Heli-x but throttle / collective only registers from centre stick down. Nothing registers from centre stick up.

I've run the calibration in Heli-x but still get the same result.

Any suggestions?

You are running MS-Windows?
Then maybe you need to calibrate something like "gamepad device" in device-manager before doing any calibration in HELI-X

Thanks for that. Found the calibration for the game controller but it registered exactly the same.

The model file in the tx was a direct copy of the Phoenix INI here. I've gone in and adjusted the throttle curves and now the collective registers correctly. Just need to adjust the rudder now as a slight move left registers as 100 instead of a gradual increase. Moving right does nothing at all.

You may try these.
"heli-x-minimal" has only associated Ch1-ch4.

"heli-x" has additional:
FMOD1 -> ch5
FMOD2 -> ch6
RUD DR1 -> ch7 which I use for TH (=Autorotation in HELI-X)
Maybe this is not ideal, but it's working for me.
Throttle and pitch curves are configured inside HELI-X.

OK gave the model files a go. Same result on the rudder - left rudder is 100% with the stick at 1%. Right rudder is 0 no matter its position.

No idea what's going on. The tx works fine on Phoenix and my helis. Just not on Heli-x.

You have this "Deviation Gamepad" in device manager?
Are at least 4 channels working there?
Have you calibrated them in Windows before doing so in HELI-X?

Awwwww dammit. Did the Windows calibration of the Deviation Gamepad and it failed repeatedly on the rudder. Played a hunch and changed the USB cable and FMD it worked!!

Thanks so much for your help in getting this up and running! You're worth my weight in gold :)
