Hey, bei mir fehlt dieses Kalibrierungsdtool irgendwie.

Habe einen factory reset gemacht und nun spinnen bei mir einige Sachen.

Hat jemand 'ne Idee woran das liegen könnte, oder woher ich das Tool bekomme?

nevermind

Nach einem erneuten firmware reset war das Tool plötzlich wieder drauf. *klatsch* *klatsch*

Hatte gehofft es hilft bei meinem Snapback-des-Todes Problem beim linken analog stick.

Leider nichts gebracht. Trotzdem danke für das Tutorial, bzw. die Übersetzung davon!

If you get an error about command not found when you try to run the joystick_cal_v1_1 script, this is likely due to you being on a beta OS, or just Valve decided to move it? not sure...


In any case, you can still run the calibration with the following commands (Thanks to dorsey6250 on Reddit for this workaround)


``cp /usr/bin/thumbstick_cal ~/thumbstick_cal_v1_1

``(This will copy the script from a system copy to your local home folder)

``chmod +x ~/thumbstick_cal_v1_1

``(This will make the script executable)

./thumbstick_cal_v1_1

(This will actually run the script)


Valve needs to either put it back where it was, or iFixIt needs to include these instructions in addition to what they have.

Hope this helps someone!

I have the Hall effect sticks and wonder if I need to do this? They have a physical button on them for calibration.

Zach - Replica

I replaced my analog sticks with the Hall effect sticks and the calibration won't work with the buttons on the Hall effect circuit boards or from the konsole. When I try the calibration through the konsole I get a "Permission Denied". Why is this and what do I need to do to calibrate them?
