Calibration & Factory Reset GuideUpdated an hour ago
If your controller is showing a hall error, prompting “re-calibrate”, or the throttle is not responding correctly (0–100% not lining up), the issue is usually caused by the trigger not aligning with the internal magnetic sensor.
In most cases, this can be resolved by recalibrating the controller. A full factory reset is only required if issues persist.
1. Recalibration (Recommended First Step)
Before doing a factory reset, always try a recalibration.
How to recalibrate:
- Press + and – together to enter the settings menu
- Navigate to Setting 2: Calibrate
- Press the B button to enter
- Follow the on-screen prompts
Calibration steps:
- Pull the trigger fully to 100%
- Wait for confirmation that calibration is complete
- Exit back to the main menu
- Press and hold – to return to the home screen
2. Verify Calibration
After recalibration:
Trigger Mode:
- Pull trigger from 0% → 100% → back to 0%
- Ensure smooth, full-range response
Gear Mode:
- Select Gear 5
- Pull trigger to confirm it reaches ~95–100%
- Press B if needed to confirm full range
If response is inconsistent, repeat calibration once more.
3. Additional Troubleshooting (If Issues Persist)
If recalibration does not resolve the issue:
- Rinse controller in warm fresh water (to remove salt buildup)
- Allow to dry completely
- Inspect trigger area for debris or stiffness
- If necessary, remove five rear screws and check:
- Trigger alignment
- Spring condition
- Internal debris or obstruction
If any parts are damaged, replacement components may be required (refer to Foil Drive support documentation).
4. Factory Reset (Use Only If Required)
A factory reset should only be used if:
- Calibration fails repeatedly
- Controller behaviour is inconsistent after cleaning
- Directed by support team
Factory reset steps:
- Enter Settings Menu (press + and – together)
- Scroll to Factory Reset
- Press B button to select
- Confirm reset when prompted
Note: This will restore all settings to default and may require full recalibration and re-pairing afterwards.
5. After Reset
Once reset is complete:
- Re-pair controller to system
- Perform full calibration
- Re-check throttle response in both modes
