CSL Elite pedals input inconsistency / wobble / jittering ?

[Joakim Stensnæs]

Ye o/

I've been pretty exstatic over my CSL Elite LC pedals, but I've just now discovered an issue with the input on my throttle and my load cell brake pedals.

Here's a picture from motec, showing the throttle application between two different laps. The black line is from a few days ago with no issues. The green one has just been recorded. Also seems to be a slight dead-zone on the throttle pedal now.

Anytime I change the input on the throttle (or brake), the input wobbles/jitters/vibrates, whatever you want to call it. But it seemingly only happens when I CHANGE the amount of applied throttle, etc going from 20%-50%. When at a stable amount of input, no jittering seems to happen.

Anyone have any ideas?

I've tried:
- Restarting pc
- Recalibrating the wheel
- Flashing the firmware

I have to unmount my pedals to contact fanatec, and can't do that before tonight, so I thought I'd put up a post and ask if anyone had a similar issue and they figured out a fix.

I also have the same issue. Updating the firmware sometimes helps, but it always comes back. I've also read that it may be dust in the potentiometer. Although air spraying the potentiometer doesn't fix the problem 100% for me.

I've ordered the same pedals so will be interested to hear if you resolved your issues. I did see a youtube video the other week for a review of third party replacement potentiometers (I think a Spanish company) which may be an option if you are out of warranty. Apologies I had a quick look but can't find the specific video now.

Here you go

Although i don´t own them I´ve read alot about the potentiometers of the CSL Elite.
But I can´t imagine how that would distort the signal from the loadcell.

Good luck Carsten

Thanks, yes that was the video I was thinking of. They would hopefully sort any issues with clutch or throttle but wouldn't help with the brake as you said.
