Hi Pete. Sorry for the bad phrasing im not all that technical when i dont have a soldering iron. ill try to explain better ;) To be specific it is for use betwen my homebuild flight console and maddog 2006 MD82 so hardware only and no keyborad at all.. the thought is to use axis (like rudder or aileron) on a aircraft specific function. in this case it is an light increase/decrease on the eicas display to be controled by a hardware axis. So basicly id like to build an light control panel on the hardware with 3 (the number doesnt matter hehe) pot's and afterwards bind them to the software. Though the logic for the aircraft does not handle the light knob as an axis as it does with throotle or rudder (i think?) but as a selctor with either value A or B for up and down. So the thought is: left turn on the hardware pot ( + value towards - value) could be representet by one action/macro and again - towards + another value/macro. Basicly this would work like my encoders (left tick value A/macro, Right tick value B/macro) but rendered by the output value defined of travel direction. I hope it makes a little sense else ill make a drawing :) And while im at it thanks for a great and indispensable product. Best Regards, Martin

I’m running on some home build hardware with numerous buttons, encoders and pot meters and it all works like a charm. Now i’ve come program 3 axis and what I hope to achieve is to add either two macro values or two key presses, one for each directions of turn. Ive tested this with one direction and with a prober set Delta i’m surprised how well it works. But the question is if it is possible to create a generic axis with this to values assigned to each direction of movement. I can see from the standard options that ex. Xpdr_set can be used in this way but i’m unable to figure if this can be done for custom assignments. I have looked at the SDK in the event that a subroutine must be made but I must admit that i’m not that good with C sharp nor ++. Alternately ill use rotary encoders but since the function is a limited turn, a pot would by far be the best solution.
