Depend on how you manipulate the objects(magnet & sensor), you'll get values 0-65535 if you put those correctly. I did it this order,
0. check which surface of magnet is reacting to sensor(when you moving left and right), so you have to solder first(A1302 to cougar pots wire). I recommend pull usb cable out from computer while soldering. Also important double checking correct wiring.
and mark on magnet.
1. Put magnet with glue. Plug it in.
2. while gluing sensor, you have only 5 to 10 second before it harden, watching values of cougar viewer, what you have to do now is centering values of sensor readout.
3. Adjust gab, it bends well.
4. manual calibration
It's been 3 days it works perfectly, I have hotas warthog but using only throttle, the stick have static friction rather bigger than cougar. I tested it have 20000 different values means near 15 bit precision.
