Hi guys,

just a quick question: I bought an OEM 30VU panel of the A320 (Overhead panel pneumatic), everything works, but the original Temperatur zone selector switches are potis and they have a range from 164 to 940. I tried the config as seen on my picture, but the selector in sim is not at the same position as the real one. How do I manage this, I guess the problem is, that the range is not starting at 0.

Where did you find this code?

#

Use the Hubhop potentiometer tool

@ 164 - 776 / 0 max 1 min (>L:A_OH_PNEUMATIC_COCKPIT_TEMP)

ok now it looks a lot better, however, the physical knob turn slower than the virtual one, although at position 1 (which is the maximum) both positions are equal again

Hmm I would suspect your potentiometer is logarithmic type.

#

What is the pot reading when you move to the middle?

#

A linear pot should read close to 552

looks pretty linear to me

#

ah wait, that was the position of the virtual switch, for the physical one, at the middle position it shows 570

570 versus 552 doesn't sound too bad. If you must hit certain points with more precision, then the output interpolation function might be better for this problem.
