Re: Desensitizing Joysticks
What we use is a exponenetial function. This simply shifts the power curve out some while still retaining full power at the edges. Instead of it being completely linear, it follows a curve (that looks suspiciously like a cubic function). At 50% joystick travel, you may only have 33% motor output, but at 100% joystick travel, you have 100% motor output.
Another technique that I learned from flying R/C Heli's is to grip the joystick at the bottom with just a few fingers....This helps to make movements less extreme....they only downside is that it is a little tuffer to get to the buttons...The advantage is that the movement comes from the fingers instead of the arm and wrists, and it affords you alot more accuracy.
