Mike, been thinking here, what about if the scalers would adjust automatically to an input? This might be a completely stupid idea but just in case I post it
Imagine you have a voltage sensor for example, it could be any other, like a temperature sensor or a fuel tank..
It would be something like a calibration menu.
- Set the sensor to it's minimum for example with a voltage sensor, to 0V
- Now enter the minimum value on the radio menu.
- connect a fully charged battery or a power supply to the input and insert the max voltage on the MAX field. for example for a 3S Lipo, insert 12.6V.
-The radio will calculate the range and offset automatically based on the voltage range provided by the sensor, and the range you have inserted in the radio..
Is something like this possible, or is it too stupid?
I have been playing with capacitive fuel sensing, and something like this would be very useful to calibrate the radio to the sensor..
We are using an arduino outputting PWM. This could even be connected to an A1 /A2 port through a voltage divider (arduino is 5V / 16Mhz).
In my opinion, it would make it much easier to calibrate sensors, even for people that are not used to do it:
As I said above, I do apologize if this sounds too stupid
Thanks
