You mean returning the transmitter to the factory default settings? Nope - I didn't even think of that...???

I have been looking everything over...on the tie-rod there is a screw which holds a little U-Shaped thing that the tab on the potentiometer fits into...Where the end of the screw comes through the tie-rod there is a recess in the top half of the chassis to give it room to move back and forth without binding...



There is also a little tab in this same area that sticks up just as far as the protruding screw, but there is no recess on the top half of the chassis for it to fit into...



I can see where this little tab has been rubbing the surface of the top half of the chassis...Could this be the problem? I don't think so - if it were flash from where the tie-rod is cut loose from the mold/parts tree I could see it, but this is obviously put there intentionally - for what reason I don't know - maybe to give a little resistance to the tie-rod so that it is not moved too easily or sloppy???

So the little U-Shaped thing attached to the tie-rod by the screw can be mounted in three locations. On my dNaNo it is mounted in the center location.



What would moving it to the left or right have to do with anything??? Would moving it one way make it LESS sensitive and moving it the other way make it MORE sensitive??? I have no idea! Anybody else???



And can somebody tell me for sure - this is the potentiometer...right??? The little round thing with the screw in the middle of it with the little tab sticking up that the arrow is pointing to???



So - Does everybody else's dNaNo actually go in a straight line??? Everybody's???
