Re: Victors Non-linear!!!

[quote=Al Skierkiewicz]Joe, I think you are referring to the fact that the controllers should put out pure DC voltage at the extremes of the PWM scale. (i.e. at 0 and at 255) This statement is correct only if the controllers are calibrated to your control system/joysticks. If you do not calibrate it is possible to hit DC before the end of travel on the joystick or you may not be able to achieve DC with the joystick fully up or down.

Al, what I think I'm refering to is that the controllers would put out 12v in a range, for example 240-255 (much like the dead spot around 127). Like I said before I'm not sure, though.

If nobody else can find it, I'll look in a few days.
