Assigning increment/decrement wheel on Warthog Hotas as zoom in and out.

[bunraku]

Hi

 

On my old X-52 pro I use th slider wheel on the throttle for zooming in and out. In the Saitek software I split the slider into 3 bands. Forward band was zoom in and aft band was zoom out and the middle 80% was a deadzone.

 

How can I do the Sam wth the TARGET software?

 

Thanks

Hello

In Target Script Editor :

KeyAxis(&Throttle, THR_FC, 'iu', AXMAP2( LIST( 0, 20, 80 ), USB[85], 0, USB[84] ));

KeyAxis(&Throttle, THR_FC, 'ou', AXMAP2( LIST( 0, 20, 80 ), USB[85], 0, USB[84] ));

KeyAxis(&Throttle, THR_FC, 'im', AXMAP2( LIST( 0, 20, 80 ), USB[85], 0, USB[84] ));

 

Zoom in and Out for some layer on the Throttle slider.

LIST( 0, 20, 80 ) : divide the cursor in 3 zones

USB[85], 0, USB[84] ) : assign key for the 3 zones

 

Hope this help you.

I have to say that so far Saiteks software is much better or at least more user friendly. Used it for 5 years and you pressed a button and told it what key to use or you right clicked it and split into bands for multiple functions etc. There were also separate columns for shifted states.I haven't got a clue what you do with these scripts and I'll need to study that manual Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate it.

The reason that the Saitek software is easier is because it doesn't have anything close to the capability of Target's scripting language.

You can also just assign it in the Axis Commands, that's how mine is set up. Mine has no jitter on it and it works perfectly.

That's what I do zoom view as slider on the throttle Iv never used target

Since the slider potentiometer is a bit twitchy I'm using it with a filtering function, to avoid zoom jittering:

 

int AxisFilter(alias f, int v, int i){
   int n = 3;
   int a = 2048+(i*n)/32;
   int b = 65536;
   if (((v-f)>i) |
       ((f-v)>i) ){
       f = f+(v-f)/n;
   }
   return f*a/b;
}

int s_AxisFilter_THR_FC;

int main()
{
   // Stuff

   KeyAxis(&Throttle,THR_FC,0,AXMAP1(256,
       EXEC("TrimDXAxis(DX_THROTTLE_AXIS, SET(AxisFilter(&s_AxisFilter_THR_FC,Throttle[THR_FC],256)));"),
       EXEC("TrimDXAxis(DX_THROTTLE_AXIS, SET(AxisFilter(&s_AxisFilter_THR_FC,Throttle[THR_FC],256)));")));
}

Well, to be fair, you can use the GUI to program the WH. You don't have to right one code of script.. Just point and click.

The GUI would be fine, if I can work out how to split the increment into 3 bands. On my old X-52 Pro it was split into 3 with 10% 80% and 10% with the 80% being the deadzone. Worked fine for me.

 

Thanks again

}

 

Not necessary if you can do without the throttle LED backlighting. Turn it off and all jittering will go away. It's a firmware problem that TM has unfortunately never corrected.
