Re: Speed Ramping with Deadzone

First of all,

A closed loop feedback system is ver usually a good idea.

Secondly,

you can also try a jog wheel, almost like on an iPod where each "click" of the wheel results in a jog. Use an optical encoder with clicks and 8-12 resolution for this.

Alternatively, create a "throttle" type lever which you can use to change between overall power range on the sticks.

Just ideas
