Tiny dead zone on full throttle (PT)

[astir]

Hi,

Can someone be so kind and give me Script or info how I can make deadzone to the end of axis?

I would like have tiny deadzone on full throttle like 95% physical move means axis 100% movement.

Not too hard I quess, but Im not good on this :)

Thanks

Hello Astir,

I would like have tiny deadzone on full throttle like 95% physical move means axis 100% movement. <<

You&#39;d need to write a little script to stretch 95% to 100%. First you&#39;d add the CMS Controls to the map. The actual controls go 0 to 255, so what you want is for 95% of that to create the full 255 change. It&#39;s going to depend on which end you want the deadzone on. If it&#39;s a throttle, then the 255 value is min throttle, 0 is max throttle. I&#39;m guessing you&#39;d want the deadzone at minimum, so the script would need to look something like this (I&#39;ll take 240 as the "95%" value and JS1.A3 as the axis you want to scale):

script

if( [ js1.a3 > 240 ] ) then
cms.a1 = 255;
else
cms.a1 = (255 * js1.a3) / 240;
endIf

endScript

You&#39;d need to unassign whatever CM Device axis was originally assigned to the throttle, in this case probably js1.a3 and CM Device 1, Z Axis, and then assign the CMS Controls Axis 1 to that CM Device axis instead.

If you needed the deadzone at the "0" end, it would get a little more complicated. The calculation would basically be the same but you&#39;d need to subtract it from the full scale value to get it to line up the way you want.

Is that what you were looking for?

Thanks for your reply, but now when I had time to check it, it seems that I would need this trick to "0"-end. At least in my configuration Full throttle is equal to zero.

I try now to start modifying this, but I quess U will be the first ready... :)

Ill will let U know if I manage it out.

hmm.. could it be so easy like this: ???


if( [ js2.a3 < 15 ] ) then
cms.a1 = 0;
else
cms.a1 = ((255 * js2.a3)-15) / 240;
endIf

At least that works like it wanted :)

Is there some not needed parts?

Thanks

Forget previous post.. now Im pretty sure I did it, yahoo


if( [ js2.a3 < 15 ] ) then
cms.a1 = 0;
else
cms.a1 = (270 * js2.a3) / 255 -15;
endIf

Right?

Hi Astir,

>> Right? <<

Just about, but it would be just a little bit off. The second calculation would really be more like:

cms.a1 = (255 * (js2.a3 - 15)) / 240;

What you did would end up close to the right result, though, and whether it would be enough off that you&#39;d actually notice I don&#39;t know. If it feels okay to you, that&#39;s all that really matters.

Best regards,
