Hello! I want to motorize my throttle with stepper motors. Is it possible to add "feedback" from potentiometer to tell mobiflight where exactly throttle lever is at this moment? Then I could use this pots as normal axis of throttle for manual operation, but in AT mode it will give feedback for motoristion.

No

Potentiometers are not included in Mobiflight.... Whatever as Input or Output...... and also not in the near or middle future ( maybe far far in the future yes. But not now)

Please apollogy i not explane all that stuff here again..... Cause we talk about 1000 times already. There exist interesting ( improvisional) solutions.
So some people run a Motor Throttle with Mobiflight already.
Please use FORUM SEARCH.

If you got specific additional questions ( after study the old topics) then reply here again. I will try to help !
Alternate is to join DISCORD or to get in personal contact to users who still build it !

Good Luck !

In case nobody use a stepper here i have no links.

The Motor must know it´s position..... A Stepper will not allow this ( without a additional potentiometer) so i think the only way at the moment is a SERVO Motor instead !

Good Luck !
