Strange Behavior: Trackpad dynamic range fluctuates over time #20

Open nanospork opened 6 years ago

nanospork commented 6 years ago

I'm not sure if this is an issue with the plugin or an issue with my Nolo hardware, but in attempting to implement basic trackpad calibration I've run into a troublesome issue: the dynamic range of my trackpad axes appears to fluctuate over time. That is, when the controllers are first started, they appear to be able to output the full range 0-255 (which is mapped to 1 to -1) or thereabouts. However, over time the trackpads appear to output a smaller range, mapping to -0.9 to 0.9, or even as low as -0.55 to 0.55.

I'm still experimenting to see if I can discover any more consistency in this behavior, but I'd like to open the issue to see if anyone else is experiencing similar behavior. It seems to happen with both controllers, which leads me to believe that if it is not a software issue, then it is either a firmware issue or a design issue and not an issue with my particular units.
