Need a calibration routine for the throttle (Air Manager/X plane)

#1 Post by miner_tom »

Hi,

I have a "Precision Flight Controls" console that I successfully modified with an Arduino Mega and used Simvim to gain control of flight controls with X Plane. Simvim had its own calibration routine built in.

I have switched to Air Manager but now have a problem. My yoke is "off axis" when the LUA script is started that writes to the dataref that I am using. It does not initialize to zero but something like 0.20205 or thereabouts. Someone mentioned that I would need to write a calibration routine in order to fix this problem.

Does someone have a piece of LUA code that I could start with? Or, directions as to how I would go about this?

Thank You
Tom
