Add Channel

  1. Configure the channel as preferred:

    • Choose Input: Select joystick input (axes or button).

    • Reverse: Tick this checkbox to reverse the selected input.

    • Trim: Users can select which button to press to trim the raw value of the selected axis. Each click of the selected button will apply the following Trim equation to the axis output signal:

      \[Final \; trimmed \; value = Initial \; Stick \; Input \; value \; + \left(\frac{Increment(\%)}{100} \times Initial \; Stick \; Input \; value \right)\]

      Trim parameters

      1. Choose button: Select the button which will trim the input value.

      2. Trim Increment (%): Percentage value used to calculate the trimed value.

        Note

        Trim Increment can be positive or negative.

      3. Add: Saves the configured trimming button.

        Note

        It is possible to add N customized trimming buttons to each axis, which will be listed in the Trim section of this Add Channel panel.

      Example:

      Initial Stick Input (r1)

      Trim Increment

      Trimmed Stick Input (rounded)

      0.49

      10%

      0.54

  2. Save the configured channel.

The configuration parameters of the created channel are displayed in the following list:

Users can edit these parameters with Channels buttons.

Joystick Output View

To make easier the configuration of channels, the application shows the output values of every connected joystick.

Joystick View

Joystick buttons are represented with ON or OFF status and the axes with their values between [-1, 1].

PPM Configuration in 1x PDI Builder

To properly use the VSE solution, it is important to configure the PPM inputs in Veronte Autopilot 1x using 1x PDI Builder app. Users must perform the configuration corresponding to a PPM Stick, explained in further detail in VSE (Veronte Stick Expander) - Integration Examples section of the 1x PDI Builder user manual.

The figure below shows the PPM signal that arrives to Veronte:
