DD2 full wheel rotation on startup
Previous to driver 447, my base needed a small rotation to the left and then a slightly bigger rotation to right in order to calibrate each time on startup.
After the firmware update it needs a full 360 degree rotation to the right.
This has never been an issue but i'm considering buying a Podium Hub to use a steering wheel from another manufacturer. With the wheelbase doing a full rotation, the usb cable would need to be detached each time I power on the base.
Does anyone know of a way to revert to the previous small movement on startup? Im now on the latest firware 451 and its still the same.
Thanks!

You could try inverting the connection of the steering column. When I disassembled my csl DD to check something, I reinstalled it "upside down" and after recalibrating the wheel center position, the startup calibration now turns a whole lot more (more than half a turn but maybe not a full turn in my case) as opposed to just a few degrees left and right.
It's as if the wheel base as its own 0 degree position (separate to the user set center position, and might have been changed with the firmware) and the startup calibration turns right until it reaches +30° then left to - 30° or something similar. But if you did not need to recalibrate your wheel center position after installing the new firmware, maybe that's not what's happening either!
I can tell you that I got my DD2 and Clubsport Pedals V3 in August of 2020 and from day 1, it has -always- done a 360 degree rotation on start-up calibration. If you want to know exactly the "azimuth" and rotation degrees I could check it for you. It starts left of top dead center and finishes there (I think...). I'm surprised you base does not do the same.
Hello. Turn the steering wheel 360 degrees and return to center the direction. See if you give it to the left or to the right in case you want to reverse.
if you have the DD2 doing a full 360 rotation on start up like mine with the new drivers, when using a 3rd party wheel with usb coiled cable just ensure the wheel is connected with USB cable unwound and when it turns on it will wind it up, pretty cool actually!
Hi I had the same problem and I solved just today thanks the help of Danny Moffat youtuber.
I had to loosen the band that locks the base side QR to the motor hub and then, keeping the motor hub in the position it was, I rotated the base side QR by 180° and then I re-centered it and now it only makes a 90° turn to the right and then 90° to the left, thus returning to the central position without making the 360° as before.
see the my video of how rotate now when turn on https://youtu.be/_lCK-QHihdo?si=HXdEnx6IK4NiD4Rl
Before doing all this, do a simple test, rotate the steering wheel 180° and then center it, then turn it off and on and see how it behaves.
I hope it can help you too
