DXTweak2 Calibration Tool / Application added: 17.04.2013

Category: Software     Views: 22768     Rating:    


Thanks who originally posted this great little app, Helped me fine tune and calibrate my transmitter more precise.
Maybe benefit you as well : ) Tested on Win 8 64 bit, Run as admin.

========================================================
SYNOPSIS
========================================================

DXTweak allows you change calibration information and
deadzone settings of a DirectInput game controller and
test the effect of the changes directly. It can easily
render your game controller behaviour totally weird. You
have been warned.

========================================================
WHY DO I NEED TO TWEAK THE CALIBRATION/DEADZONE
SETTINGS?
========================================================

You want to have an oversensitive wheel while driving in
a racing game. You want to brake your car only a little,
but step fully on the brake pedal. You want to fly a
helicopter and your joystick is too sensitive. In short:
By reducing the overall range of motion of your
controller (undercalibration) you can achieve higher
sensitivity. By extending the range accepted by
DirectInput (overcalibration) you can achieve higher
precision.

Posted by: Graham Raistrick (GB) on 22.4.2013 9:42:00 (UTC) Just so you guys know....the MHW ProRace 4096 USB adaptor, comes with software that can also internally reduce the jitter...uses a 40MHz 16 bit chip to do it...it also stores your settings so you can jump from PC to PC if you want. When using DSC, I have also noticed the quality of connections also effects the jitter...so I have to do my best soldering. Also notice with my 40 MHz testing, that having the tranny aerial down and up also makes a difference. 2.4 is ok. The software also has a 'check jitter level' in it so you don't have to use the dxtweek...you can change the filter and check the jitter...change the filter again and check jitter again...until you get the best setting. http://milehighwings.com/images/prorace_pwm_calibration.mp4 Here is the manual for it http://milehighwings.com/manual_prorace.htm Edited by author: 22.4.2013 9:46:09 GMT



Thank's Graham, Been wanting to look into that..

Posted by: Giovanni F. Di Berardino (BE) on 18.4.2013 20:45:25 (UTC) What are your tricks to minimize the jitter, did you put away the receiver ? My computer is in a corner of concrete walls and I use FM... some positions of the receiver/radio then give extreme jitter... and I had to use a 'docking station' too... it's easyer to move a 'box', the antenna still right... so the 'docking station' help much to reduce jitter too. http://www.vrcworld.com/member/tip.aspx?topic=44142#detail Edited by author: 18.4.2013 22:52:12 GMT



Giovanni, I was not aware this makes a difference..I moved my "docking station" around the area and wow..Now with almost no jitter on FM! Thank you!

Minimizes my jitter, Compromising st/th % ..Open dxtweak, On transmitter knobs/buttons st/trim & th/trim, Align the "direct input" black arrows with the "raw" red arrows. On Y Axis adjust / fine tune in small increments the % of throttle/brake while minimizing the jitter..X Axis to adjust steering %.

Thanks Giovanni for the input, I used this mainly for older transmitters that have limited options, expo, dualrates..Can view the raw data in dxtweak, adjust my rates, and minimize the jitter to a minimum

This soft was presented in tips in the early VRC-PRO when there was no calibration tools in the program, and lot of people were not sure of the calibration... now it has not so much utility as VRC-PRO is with calibration tools... But Graham still using it to check the stability of signal for example.

Thank you for the X64 link and the "run as admin" tip... both go together, as x64 OS is now always with UAC and system tweak always need now admin privileges...
