Helix Floor Expression pedal travel - Heel down postion

So I tend to assign stomp like changes or auto-engage settings to my expression pedal for various effects.  I tend to set my 'turn-on' setting at around 5-7%.  However, while playing and I return my pedal to 0%, it will adjust, up a few % points to between 3-7% randomly.  

 

I'm assuming 2 things..... 1) the calibration isn't setting the 0% at the correct location (I dont believe this to be the issue as the 100% side of the range is spot on for sure).  2) that the rubber stopper maybe is too thick?  would the best remedy be to maybe grind/shave that down a bit to get it to rest lower?

Is your pedal too loose?  Or does the pedal not move itself, while it gets un-calibrated? 

My Helix LT used to do this where it sometimes would not go past 99%, then 98%.  But rebooting it would fix the issue.

No, its definately not loose enough to fall down if i leave it at 70%, but maybe a bit stiffer would keep it locked down where i step off.  

 

Yeah i had the same issue with the LT toe down side where i'd step off it at 100% and it would 'drift' down as far as 85%.  so it made it stupidly tough to set the auto-engage thresholds.  this isnt doing that, i can see the pedal return to 0, and then move due to the rubber stopper /foot.  

 

I used to do toe-down for the 'off' position and switched to heel-down...so I likely just didnt notice it right away (last 5ish years, lol)
