#Reversers using a Potentiometer, does anyone have these working?

I'm trying to get some reversers working in XPlane 12, currently specifically the Zibo738. The reversers are (hopefully) to be mapped to their own reverse thrust levers, attached to the throttles themselves (as in a regular B737) and they have their own individual Pots. I have the Dataref plugin, but I'm not getting an axis I can see anywhere, just laminar/B738/air/engine1_psi and laminar/B738/air/engine1_9th_psi as far as data. No commands. Can anyone help, please?

as a temporary solution you can make mobiflight control vjoy device and map reverser axis to vjoy in the sim

#

controlling flight controls with datarefs(even writable) doesn't sound like a good idea to me

#

I once tried to do the similar to control yaw axis but ended up quitting because I couldn't find the dataref that I can ensure works 100% the time

#

well, the dataref do exist though

It appears the screenshots, you attached are for button presses, can you explain how I can map that to a potentiometer axis? I'm sorry, I'm sure the answer is right in front of me somewhere, but I'm just not seeing it. I've been searching for weeks for an answer, trying to get Xplane 12 to work with my B737 pedestal, I've got it working with MSFS 2020 just great, but I have flown XP for years, and wish to continue to do so, and am building, piece by piece, a small cockpit for use in one of my favorite planes (ZIBO 738). After 2 years on this pedestal, I'm in the last phase, but programing this thing is just starting to beat me, because while I'm sure people have successfully programmed their own flaps levers, NOBODY appears to share how they have done it with an actual dedicated lever with it's individual stops for XPLANE. Sorry for the rant. I still have reversers to deal with after I figure out the flaps! Anyone, everyone, please help!

And, when I finally get these things to work, I'm going to post the actual screen shots and coding EVERYWHERE I CAN THINK TO POST IT, so others can see it. And I can think of a lot of places!
