Hi Pete, guys,
I am struggling with a comand in my A2A 182. I am trying to assign a LVAR (WindowDefrosterControlKnob) to an axis.
Just as an information: I am using a BU836 interface board and experimenting with potentiometers and switches.
First of all, the WindowDefrosterControlKnob will take values from 0 (closed) to 100 (full open), when defining it in the macro file as
WindowDefrosterControlKnob=INC and WindowDefrosterControlKnob=DEC I can assign a button to either way and open and close it. However, there is no feedback if it is open, close or somewhere in the middle.
So I thought I could use a potentiometer which has a stop on both sides which would give a feel if it is open, middle or closed etc (hope you understand what I mean).
Anyhow, the only way to get it somehow to life is when using WindowDefrosterControlKnob=SET within the LVAR macro and then assigning it to the axis. However as the poti output is -16359 to 16383 and the actual WindowDefroster reacts only to values of 0 - 100 controlling it is not the right word. I can open it and close it but only by accident finding a value which is in the range of 0 - 100. Basically the same would happen with a simple on/off switch and setting the values to 0 or 100, but I also wanted to get all values in between set.
So, either I need to get me a poti which has much less resolution (not sure if this is available at all) or there is a way to translate the -16359 to 16383 to the values the variable would expect (0-100).
Is there a way to do this?
Sorry if this has been answered but I have read so many articles and not really sure what else to search for...
Thanks and best Regards.
