TS-PC struggles to finish startup calibration.

[EpEpDono]

So I bought two TS-PC servo bases for chips, but they both have startup calibration issues, both start up and spin left to right a couple times, same fast speed both ways, and then tries to center, usually they miss the center, after which its back to spinning left and right. One of the bases has managed to finish calibration twice, after I fiddled with the Hall effect sensor, but seems like the calibration was off somehow, I then turned the wheel all the way clockwise and it rapidly spun all the way back counterclockwise, after which it seems the calibration was perfect, and FFB seems to work from the control panel . But when powering on the next time it struggles to calibrate again. It often times returns to dead center, but then starts spinning again...

I have read that the T300 sometimes has a issue where the rotor loosens from the shaft, but in those cases the spin in one direction is usually slower than the other? I also found that Angle Motor Calibration tool and tried to run it, but it does not seem to even detect the bases, does it only work on the T300? Any idea what the issue could be? Firmware and drivers are fine.

Also, does anyone know the significance of the line on the driving cog? I assume its supposed to be aligned with the steering wheel at center?

Yeah, exactly.

Oh so that was a lot less complex than I made it out to be. Sorry for the consistent disturbance 😅. and thank you for your help.

Finally got it to calibrate correctly and fine tuned it to be stable. Now just need to glue it In place but not sure on how to go about it. Would it be advisable to glue the outside of the sensor magnet mount to the shaft or the inside which I find to be quite risky since I will have to pull it off and might end up reapplying it in the wrong orientation. Again many thanks for your help throughout this.

I would just glue it a little from the outside, that magnet takes no force during operation, so it doesn't need to be strong, just enough to not vibrate loose.

Glad you got it working!
