Hi All,

I've managed to setup a flaps gauge using a servo and for the most part it works just fine. I've got the offset right, value type set to float and 4 bytes. Interpolation is set with inputs matching the flaps settings and outputs commensurate to the servo position. This works fine except that due to the small values between flaps 0 and 5 the needle jumps to the flap setting rather than smoothly transiting up to flaps 5. Above F5 it works just fine.

I've read about transforming the values by x1000 as mobiflight doesn't deal with decimal values so well. I can get the servo and gauge to work with transform on however when the flaps are transiting the output value reads 0 and so the needle jumps to 0, then when the flaps stop moving the servo catches up and moves to the chosen flaps setting. Looking at the values in mobiflight when the flaps are moving, the output reverts to 0 until the flaps stop transiting then it sees the fsuipc value.

Am I missing something?

Cheers
Ollie

Can you share your Config ? Screenshot ( more easy via Discord) .

Normaly this should work..... I think your problem is a wrong interpolation and/or servo setting. If you use transform $*1000 also the Interpolation and servo data must be include this x1000 system.
Good Luck !
