WH stick twist/offset with TARGET

[harsh47]

Looking for some help with writing script in the TARGET editor.

 

I am trying to set the twist in the WH stick. Its a little over my head getting started. I have used the GUI to set all the key commands, and would like to add to the script it creates, instead of starting from scratch.

 

Running the GUI you can "view script", but how to save it and import it into the script editor is proving to be a pain.

 

I have heard mention in the forums of using the editor for this, but have not found any solid information on how to do it.

 

Waiting on this to mount the TM to a solid location.

 

Thanks, Pat

If you mean the twist of the stick grip for yaw thats not possible as it does not have it.

Are you talking about offsetting the X and Y axis, so that you can mount it rotated 15 degrees CCW (like the real thing)?

 

That is easy, but cannot be done in the GUI.

 

Creating your script in the GUI, means that the actual tmc file gets buried somewhere in the bowels of Windows (I don't recall the location). You can get it from there and then use the Target Script Editor or even Notepad++ to make changes.

Can this be done without TARGET creating that file? Is there a file I can edit with Notepad++ already on my computer? I was just about to post a question on this topic lol.

It can only be done in target. But you could alternatevely get/build an extension for your WH and physicaly twist it like that.

I am sorry i miss understood what you meant seems everyone else didn't, but yes a stick extension would be easy.

What do I need to do in the script to make this 15deg change? Can you give an example? I'm newb to scripting.

Solved! Will give a update on how later tonight.

Here is exactly what I have in my scripts.

 

//	Rotate Stick Axis 15deg CCW to account for mounting position
RotateDXAxis(DX_X_AXIS, DX_Y_AXIS, -15);

 

Since my WH is center mounted, the rotation is almost mandatory.

Thanks very much! ...I have same issue and have been giving myself a cramped wrist for 3 years lol

I started with doing my key mapping in the TARGET GIU.

 

View script button shows created script in WordPad. Copy all.

Close the GUI, open the script editor.

 

Menu/New/TARGET Code .TMC/Open

 

Delete all the starting code from the new .TMC you just opened, and paste in the code from the GUI that was copied into clipboard earlier.

 

Save As,".........TMC"

 

Menu/Open/".......TMC"

 

Compile/Run/Stop, this is to check that its working properly

 

Now add your lines of custom code.

 

 

Everything I needed to know, I found in the help file of the script editor, read it all!

BUT, it did not say how to get the script from the GUI, which was the easiest part.

 

If you carefully read the help file in the Script Editor, it will tell other factors involved with twisting the stick, and how to correct them. You lose full deflection in the corners.

 

Other thoughts, Device analyzer, and calibration.

 

Now if I could learn how to HTML, maybe I could do this post a lot better without the thumbnails.

 

 

The file I needed was not in the "bowels" of Windows.
