I have a throttle quadrant from poldragonet without electronic control board (because the old one was broken) but with hitec servos installed in perfect status.

I´m trying to motorize it again with MobiFlight software and arduino mega.

I configure the servos according with the flaps tutorial. In test mode the servos run ok, but in fsx I can´t do they work and they doesn´t move.

Thrust levers are connected to PC with leo bodnar board and they are full operative in fsx. In FSUIPC appears as Throttle 1 and 2 each lever, but I need moreover do the servo move in AT mode.

I´m using the 70315 and 70318 offset from pmdg 737 chart in MobiFlight sofware but nothing happen.

Thanks for any information to solve this problem.

The event IDs 70315 and 70318 are inputs for the trrottle.

For use in servos you shoud get the offsets (outputs) to they read the possition.

Problem Solved.

Thanks for all. I used the offset outputs 0x088C and 0x0924 and the servos now are running perfectly.

Thanks!
