At the end of this process if you are happy with the input behavior you can click "Pass" and the calibration will be stored, if you're experiencing any issues click "Fail" and start the calibration process again using a little more pressure in the corners.

After the Joy-Stick calibration is complete, proceed to the next step.

3. Calibrate SBUS Output
