We know that some of you have been having issues with the triggers and gamepads on your AYANEO Next. Just to rule out any software issues this is a guide to update and install the latest gamepad firmware for the AYANEO Next. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To start with, head to the AYANEO Downloads<\/a> page and download the latest firmware. That would be version AN109 at the time of writing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE<\/strong>: AYANEO has released v110 of the driver, download it from here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"AYANEO
AYANEO Next Firmware<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Click ‘Download’. This will download a ZIP file called ‘AN109_20220309.zip’. Find it, right-click and press ‘Extract All’ to extract the contents of the file.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Press ‘Extract’ and open the new folder. Inside you’ll find two files. An image file with the details of the upgrade and an EXE file. If you open the application now you won’t be able to install the update. You’ll see this window.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The ‘Update Firmware’ button is greyed out because the device is not in Update Mode. To get into update mode first power the device off, and leave it off for at least ten seconds. While off press down and hold the left joystick (LS) and hold the power button to turn on. Let the AYANEO Next power on.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Once booted, let go of the joystick and log in as usual. Navigate to the application again and if you’ve managed to get into Update Mode you’ll see that the button will no longer be greyed out. Feel free to click on Update Firmware and it will go ahead and update. If it isn’t greyed out, then you will need to repeat the process of putting the device in Update Mode until it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once it’s done we can calibrate the device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Press and hold the Window Button and all four ABXY buttons down for approximately two seconds, until the device vibrates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Within ten seconds of the vibration rotate BOTH joysticks three times in either direction AND press down both triggers (LT & RT) three times. The device will vibrate again when calibration is complete.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    For other methods to calibrate your AYANEO device see below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    NOTE: The gamepad will not work unless Aya Space is running. It can be downloaded from the AYANEO Downloads page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Windows Calibration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If the above method doesn’t work, there is a calibration method built into Windows which is detailed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To calibrate within Windows we need to first open up Windows Run, if you have a keyboard attached this can be done be pressing Windows+R, if not open the start menu and search for \u2018Run\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Once open type in joy.cpl and click \u2018OK\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    It will open this window, Windows will see your controller as an XBOX 360 controller, and that\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Click on \u2018Properties\u2019. It will open up this screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    You can use this to test your controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
