Just testing out a basic sensor feedback, everything is working great and the stick axis sensor on the Y is returning readings of 45 (up position) to 255 (down position) which is normal, but the x axis is returning readings of 45 (left) to 255 at the halfway mark between middle and right, and if pressed past the 75% to the 100% right, it returns 0. Is this a sign that it's broken somehow, or have I done an oops?
Thanks in advance for your time!
Below is the git I grabbed the code from, the main INO has been modified to display Axis readings as well. I've included both portions in the snippits.
