Hi,

I'm using Arduino Mega 256 and Mobiflight for my overhead (Prepar3D and PMDG 737NGX) but I don't know how to proper config the servos I'm using as gauges.

I'm able to install and configure one, and it is working in test mode but I have problems with the interpolation settings..

For example: for the EGT gauge, how can I use all the servo travel in order to asign EGT = 0 to Servo = 0º and EGT=10 to Servo = 180º?

I know it is in Interpolation Settings but how can I know which value is used for Servo = 180º?

Thanks!

Jose

In your case you would have two interpolation settings:
0 > 0
10 > 180.

If the servo turns the wrong way, you can let it turn the other way round by using
0 > 180
10 > 0

I hope that explains it.

Have a great day!
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian, thanks for your answer.
one more question: how do I know that the servo "understand" that full 180º rotation equals to 180?
And also I'm using a multiplier of 1.000. Should I use this scale?
0 >> 0
1.000 >> 180

Thanks!

Hi,
Sorry to insist but I would like to know which is the number the servo understand as 180º for mapping in the interpolation settings?
Thanks,
José

Hello.

YOU tell the Servo this "number". In Display Tab you define Min and Max Value for the Servo..... The Max Value is the 180° Position if you use 100=% Rotation....

So in Interpolation the Config for the 180° Position just got the same value you use for the "max Value" Input in the Display Tab !

If you multiply then increase the max value too.

Good Luck !
