Struggeling with servo

[Weezer]

Hiya guys, Fred here.

I'm trying to get the F-16 RPM gauge working, but I'm so lost when it comes to the coding thing..

 

I have this code sent to the Arduino card:

 

#define DCSBIOS_IRQ_SERIAL

#include <Servo.h>

#include "DcsBios.h"

 

/* paste code snippets from the reference documentation here */

 

DcsBios::ServoOutput engineTachometer (0x44d4,8, 544, 2400, [](unsigned int newValue) -> unsigned int {

return map(newValue, 0, 35000, 544, 2400);

});

 

void setup() {

DcsBios::setup();

}

 

void loop() {

DcsBios::loop();

}

 

But as soon as I send it to the card, the gauge starts running continously - backwards....

 

I then connect the card to DCS-BIOS, fire up DCS, jump into my F-16 (Cold Start) and the gauge should read 0 right?...Instead the Gauge turns direction and starts spinning faster.

 

Could someone please help me understand the code and what I might have done wrong in it?

 

I've tried to read up on the forums here, and tried my best to mimic the answers given, but to no avail...

 

Could I have missed something in the setup of DCS-BIOS?

 

Please someone help me...I'm totally in the dark here..

 

Best,

Fred

Hmm...seems like the servos I got are the wrong ones...these are "Continuos"rotation servos...non positional ones...Back to the drawing board I guess..

 

To be continued..
