The Spektrum InterLink DX has proven to require additional setup for some users. Here is a guide to help impacted users get flying.

Guide for Windows 11 Game Controller Calibration

If Zephyr is not reading the full range of motion for your Spektrum InterLink DX's sticks, the most likely cause is the controller needing to be calibrated for Windows. Please follow the steps below to get your controller calibrated.

1

Plugging the controller into an external USB hub can confuse the system and/or Zephyr when it comes to reading your controller correctly.

2

Press the "Windows" key, type "game" in the search bar, and select "Set up USB game controllers"

3

In the "Game Controllers" menu, select "InterLinkDX" and click "Properties"

Click the + below the step numbers or hit Enter twice to add another step to your stepper block. You can remove or change the style of the step header or step body if you wish.

4

In the "InterLinkDX properties" menu, select the "Settings" tab and then click "Calibrate..."

5

In the "Game Device Calibration" menu, cick "Next"

6

Make sure your controller's left stick is centered and then click "Next"

7

Move the left stick in several complete circles, return it to center, and then click "Next"

8

Ensure both sticks and rear sliders are centered and then click "Next"

9

Move the left rear slider all the way to the left and all the way to the right and then click "Next"

10

Move the right stick all the way to the left and right along its horizontal axis and then click "Next"

11

Move the right stick all the way up and down along its vertical axis and then click "Next"

12

Move the rear right slider all the way to the left and all the way to the right and then click "Next"

13

There is no need to calibrate on the next menu, so click "Next"

14

Turn the R Knob all the way clockwise and all the way counterclockwise and then click "Next"

15

Click "Finish"

16

On the "InterLinkDX properties" menu "Test" tab, please verify the following:

  • Your left stick reaches all four corners in the X Axis / Y Axis box

  • Your rear left slider reaches the max and min for Z Axis

  • Your right stick's horizontal movement reaches max and min for X Rotation

  • Your right stick's vertical movement reaches max and min for Y Rotation

  • Your rear right slider reaches the max and min for Z Rotation

  • Your R Knob reaches max and min for Dial

17

Verify your controller works as expected in Zephyr

In Zephyr, navigate to Main Menu > Controller and confirm your left and right sticks show a full range of motion in the "Calibration" screen.

Happy Flying!
