Here's a jscaliberater created data output comparisons of the two
joysticks. Notice the "Saitek X45" reports a much wider range then the
older "Saitek X36":
--- Saitek X36 (Older Model) ---
BeginJoystick = /dev/js0
Name = Saitek Saitek X36
LastCalibrated = 1189314254
BeginAxis = 0
Minimum = 60
Center = 229
Maximum = 410
NullZone = 45
Tolorance = 0
CorrectionLevel = 0
DeadZoneMinimum = 230
DeadZoneMaximum = 230
CorrectionalCoefficientMinimum1 = 0.000000
CorrectionalCoefficientMaximum1 = 0.000000
CorrectionalCoefficientMinimum2 = 0.000000
CorrectionalCoefficientMaximum2 = 0.000000
EndAxis
--- Saitek X45 (Newer Model) ---
BeginJoystick = /dev/input/js0
Name = Saitek X45
LastCalibrated = 1189319127
BeginAxis = 0
Minimum = 0
Center = 2047
Maximum = 4094
NullZone = 511
Tolorance = 0
CorrectionLevel = 0
DeadZoneMinimum = 2047
DeadZoneMaximum = 2047
CorrectionalCoefficientMinimum1 = 0.000000
CorrectionalCoefficientMaximum1 = 0.000000
CorrectionalCoefficientMinimum2 = 0.000000
CorrectionalCoefficientMaximum2 = 0.000000
EndAxis
(I would like to get the X36 working as I enjoy the joystick axis move
much easier then the harder springy X45.)
