Wow.....
Does Jeehell still use this stoneage "Datapipe" System ??
I not work with jeehell..... But i think i can help !

1. Think about a alternate !
Datapipe is verry slow. I would recommend to work with a other INPUT System here. E.g. a LeoBodnar for these Encoders that can use Joy Buttons for Left and Right! Or key Commands if Jeehell support that !

2. If you like to use Datapipe i think the Problem is your used "Value"
Heading goes from 000 to 359
Pretty sure you say in your Config for Right e.g. $+1
So lets say Value is currently "359" and you turn right..... then MF say $+1 .... So 359+1=360 and try to send this. BUT Jeehell only accept 0-359 as Input !

Solution: You must say "If Value is below 359 then Add 1 to value and send result BUT If Value is exact 359 at the moment then send simply "0".
For Left Turn the same inverted..... If Value is "0" then NOT say $-1 ( Cause this would be -1) Here please send 359 ...: ELSE send $-1

Syntax:
Left : if($=0,359,$-1)
Right : if($=359,0,$+1)

Good Luck !
