MIDI jitter

I don't know if there's already a name for this phenomenon so you'll have to excuse the subject...
I have a Moog EP-3 expression pedal plugged into my Midi Expression IO, and with my foot off the pedal it's occasionally sending jittery data to my interface. I can see the MIDI input light on my interface glowing solid green as if it was getting continuous CC changes. And in this particular case, I have the pedal assigned to volume in a particular program I'm using, and you can see the volume level go quickly back and forth between adjacent values. 56 to 57 rapidly back and forth for example. Can anything be done on the MIDI expression side of the matter before I start looking at the pedal itself? In case it matters, I'm using a MIDI cable to go into my interface, and I'm powering the Midi Expression IO with a USB-B to USB-C cable plugged into a USB-C 25w phone charger brick.
