Using w/s to control a throttle block?
Is there any microcontroller that would allow me to do this? Thanks.

Still doing testing to get it working smooth.

You need 2 'number' logics, less-than, greater-than, throttle lever, digital display.

Wire each 1 number logic to 'b' of less than, the other number logic to 'b' of greater-than.
Wire 'a' of greater-than / less-than to w/s on your seat.

Wire the digital display to the w/s of the seat. Give all of this power if in advanced mode.

Wire the on/off output from the less than to the 'down' signal on the throttle,
Wire the on/off output from the greater than to the 'up' signal on the throttle.

All of this should allow it to be controlled. As for the number use the digital display to determine this. The issue with w/s on the seat is it doesn't output 1 or -1 it does a 'range' meaning the longer you hold it the more the number changes 0.1,0.2,0.3 etc...

It seems the numbers have a 'wind down' period which is weird.

set seat sensitivity to 100%, use threshold gates at 1,1 and -1,-1.

Awesome, thank you for this gem. Subbed and favorited good sir!

Will add it to my Sea Duck!

So I found my way here after attempting the same setup - unsuccessfully. The strange thing is, I used the same logic as @TMC Christian, i.e threshold gates, but within a microcontroller. In this case, w results in up throttle but s does not reduce throttle. If I move my logic out of the microcontroller as standalone threshold modules, it works.

Anybody know why?

My only ideas would be to check and make sure that the high and low thresholds for the reducing threshold piece are both negative numbers, and with that one, that the high threshold is -0.1 and the low is -1 and not the other way around.

Yeah, all of that was checked and correct.

I thought perhaps it was something to do with the value not having reached below 0 yet (since they seem to be a gradual cumulative range rather than instant 1 vs -1 on keypress) but holding s for ages didn't make a difference either.

Might need to ask on Discord...

You have to click on the seat>go to w/s for example and change the sensitivity to 100%. That gets rid of the gradual change in values on the seat.

Already tried that, same result sadly. Thanks for the help, all.

You didn't use -1,1 and 1,-1 like that guy above said, did you? That won't work
Cype Apr 3, 2019 @ 5:03pm 
I used -1, -0.1 and 0.1, 1

I just built one and had no issues. I'll upload it and link it

Here. Make sure the W/S on the seat is set to "Reset" instead of "Sticky" and set the sensitivity to 100%. Then change the sensitivity for the throttle to whatever you want.
