I realized that I forget to update this. Sorry for doing this so late.

Thanks for the reply.

I bought a Taranis X9D+ and can confirm that the Betaflight CLI usb interface acts the same way as the X9D does without changing the endpoints.

I agree that changing the endpoints in Betaflight wouldn't be very practical since I'd have to flash the whoop each time I wanted to do this and flash back afterwards. It's a bit sad since I was hoping to use this as a controller for the kids to use to keep them away from the Taranis.

This isn't meant to be a dis in any way but isn't this an issue with your input code? Calibration is supposed to show which input is what and what range of values they supply. I notice that your calibration routine only looks at one value per axis so I have to assume that it assumes that the input's range of value is always 0 to 100. Turns out that's a bad assumption.

I know it's sometimes scary to get in there and change things but is it really that bad? Couldn't the input code do the range translation before it sends the data to your sim? That would excise this wart on what otherwise is a beautiful piece of software.

Anyway I purchased and threw in a tip figuring that even at twice the price it was inexpensive.

Thanks for sharing your software,

Rob

Thank you for the information. I use Unity's built in input manager, which, with the benefit of hindsight, probably wasn't the best idea (since I've learned that Unity's input system is, well, know not to be the best to put it that way). (Unity is the engine I use for development). If I had known this when I first started out developing the sim I would probably have looked into other alternatives. The way it is now, I can only read the values that come through the Unity input manager. Therefore it is not some thing I can change in my own code. I would need to change to a completely different input system. I am hesitant to do that now, since if I did it might fix the issue that you describe, but it might instead cause other unexpected issues to people who now has their setup working perfect.

What do you mean by "noticed that your calibration routine only looks at one value per axis"? (The row of little circles above the OK button when going though the calibrate controller procedure shows the values exactly as I see them in the input manager).
