Can't figure out how to get full values when using the pots on my Devo 10 with latest nightly. The "stick" value in the monitor screen goes from 0-100 from one end of the pot to the other, but not the mixer value.

What I'm trying to do is use the TxPid tuner in Openpilot Gcs. Everything is setup fine and working, but when I rotate the pot I'm only getting half the range in the Gcs because that's all the mixer gives you. So if I set the pid range to be .002 to .009 my low end is only .00550 when at the low end of the pot, it needs to be .002.

How do I get a pot in Deviation to go from -100 to +100, so I get full throw value. Right now it is 100 at full pot throw and 0 at mid pot throw, and the output values doesn't change from 0 to -100, it's still 0 at -100 throw.

If and or when you did a calibtation of the sticks, did you also turn the pots? It may be as simple as calibrating the pots.

Hope this helps!

Yes the pots were calibrated. I'm only using one in the Gcs as accessory 0 and even there you can see that Deviation is limiting it's range to half of the full range of the pot.

Messed with it some more and it's showing -100 to +100 for stick and mixer values, but I'm still not getting full range when using Txpid in the Openpilot Gcs. I set the pid range to .002 to .009, so -100 should be .002, and +100 should be .009, but it's not. The top end, .009 is +100, that's fine, but the bottom end of the pot, -100 is only going down to .0055, when it should be .002. It's only travelling half the distance it should.

This isn't a Deviation issue. I bound my 250 to my Dx8 and I'm seeing the same numbers on it's pot. Must be the 15.02.02 Gcs that's causing this issue. In videos of earlier versions of the Gcs you can see guys moving from .002 to .009, but with the latest Gcs I can only get from .00260 to .00550 for some reason.
