    Hello all, I am new on this forum. I have a problem which I think will help much of people. I have all the connections of my K8055 chart but in Force Profiler I dont not manage to give the position. When I make Autorun into the menu, I have an error at the end. I have to miss a stage? I have followed this shéma for the connection of the two potentiometers :

    For moment I gauge with my hand, I have just connected cable USB and the potentiometer.

    To oblige ALL to connect before testing ?

    hope that helps...normlly this is done with the simulator in movement.

    Arrange the pots in like in the pic, and follow the steps. You should get it calibrated this way.
    If that does not help, your pots may be defect or non-linear.

    The problem is solved!

    The problem was at the beginning, I have to select joystick input analog and it not!

    I thank you all for your assistance.

    Now I have another problem, to look at it video:

    yes, it is normal.

    You can use a modified profiler matrix to have full speed (non-pulsmode) for the down axis as well.

    Try to load this setup in the Profiler (port-output) matrix...
