I'm an idiot. I had an axis typo which I finally figured out by disabling all the axis in the control panel except the one I thought I was working with. Thanks for the help.

Do I need to be doing something with the Length property? I haven't had to use it in the past, but I've never fully understood what it (and angle) actually did.

Here is an interesting observation. When moving the device forward on the x axis, the after a while the number started to get smaller and smaller until it nearly zeroed. Then when I let the device settle back into natural zero, it started to get numbers of the opposite sign.

It occurs even when the pushing the device all the way forward. It seems that the flipping of the sign occurs around the time the device re-zeros as once it is moving, the sign appears to stay static until I let the device rest (or come close to rest anyway).

The polling occurs ~10 a second.

I'm using C++/CLI to poll the sensor. In general it appears to be working right: float translationX = tdx->Sensor->Translation->X; fLength += translationX; But, sometimes the sign value for pushing in the x direction flips for a short period of time and my object starts moving in the wrong direction...
