Re: Program a dead zone?

Here is one example.
A drawback to this one is that it will start motor power at the deadband value. Not necessarily an issue with drive motors that don't begin moving before .3, but more of an issue with mechanism motors that have much lower resistance to movement.
It can be rescaled with a little more trouble.

P.S.
Here is an example of rescaling.
