Well sometimes I overide my pan/tilt with my joystick.... But the indicator on the pan/tilt window dosent go all the way to the corners and I dont get full movement. I tryed callibrating the joystick and it says that it iss going to the maximum x and y axies. So if anybody could help that would be amazing!

humm.. Thats kinda weird. Map your arrow keys on your keyboard to pan and tilt and see if you can go all the way..

I've noticed this too. The reason is quite simple actually: your joystick is round, your pan/tilt area is square. Basically the circle is 'fitted' into the square so that the outer edges touch the middle of the borders of the square. That's your max.

The reason this doesn't show up when calibrating is because the calibration software shows you the corrected value, not the original value. A solution might be to impelement an algorithm that creates the same correction.

Thanks for the help guys! Im now using the numeric arrows to overide.... not with the keyboard controls but theres this thing on windows xp pro that lets you use you numeric arros to conrol your mouse and you can adjust the accelleration on it and everthing! its pretty rad

The quickest way I found to control pan/tilt (or anything else) is using a touch screen. I could continue to rant for hours about how much fun it is using freestyler with a touch screen and a bcf2000, but you don't know what you're missing till you've tried it...

humkm i might have to barrow a touch screen from one of the golf courses i work at.
