Slider pot travel

[nosecone]

Hi all

I am going to use Leo Bodnar’s control board along with slider pots connected to my aircraft controls.
If I use slider pots and connect those to my cyclic rods, if my cyclic moves the full distance but only moves the slider pot part of the distance forward and back am I able to get the full movement in the joystick software even if the pot does not move the full distance

Cheers

I would think that the software only sees the movement as a start and stop - min/max. This might help too. http://sound.westhost.com/pots.htm

I would suggest that you calibrate these slider pots in FSUIPC. Once you do that and you set the MIN, and the MAX, it will make no difference if the slide pot travels 1/4 of the way or the full deflection. min is min and max is (the max distance you can move it) full stop.

So no worries.
