frustration

[747sim]

i had it working for a second but i added a new pot and it stopped so i think i have it working

[CocnutAir]

I was interested in some specifics:

What are pots going to control? throttles? mixture? prop?
I gather from thread will not be for yokes or rudder pedals.

Not sure what 'it' is that you have working.

It was interesting to see how much specific advise was given on fairly non-specific information. Of course, there may be some private correspondence that is not apparent.

Future tip: Download example programs from phidget.com
See if things work ok with their examples.
If not, then you would take up issue on the Phidgets Inc. forums.
If the example works fine, and you have subsequent problem with fs2phidget, then post a message on this forum.
One is ALWAYS welcome to solicit advise here at any time, but above tip will save some time.

Regards,
Alan.

I have it running now and its fine but the mixture lever thats a different story everything works but that. I start out having it pulled out to engine cutoff and when i slowly move it forward nothing happens until it is 100% engaged when it magically jumps to full and when I try to cut it out again it just stays at 100% there are no conflicting controls and i have it setup the exact same way as my throttle which works perfectly and it isnt a bad pot because it works perfect on other assignments such as flaps.and just out of curiosity does anyone have an opinion whether to use a pot for flaps or a series of pushbuttons thank you.

Have a look at the settings for mixture control with FSVariable.
Make sure variable is set as "proportional", sounds like it may be set to "digital".

A "digital" setting for mixture control will make your mixture control act like a "long stroke" toggle switch, with an "on" and "off" position at each end of travel.
