Simtools 2.4 setup to prevent negative vales and movement

Category

► simtools
To prevent negative vales and movement take @yobuddy's advice and use SimTools v2.4, then allocate a '0' for the min value in Sway and Roll.

This basically turns off the negative inputs for this DOF

We should be able to do this without modified plugins like this. :cheers
First Game Engine needs to be in "Expert" mode, this gives us separate Min/Max files for both (a) and (b) Axis Assignments.
Then setup you axis assignments like this.

Notice this is the - (a) Axis Assignments.

Notice this is the - (b) Axis Assignments.

Then in Tuning Center, make sure both sets of Min/Max settings for (a) & (b) Axis assignments are the same, except for sway.
For (a) Axis Assignment use a sway like this.

And for (b) Axis Assignments use a sway like this.

What you have essentially done here is turn off sway in one direction for each axis (the 0 turns them off in that direction.)
Now all you have to do is change your interface output.
Wherever you are using <Axis2a> Change it to <Axis2b>.

With this example above, all game plugins should be usable without modification.
If anything in the example needs more explaining, let me know!
Take care, :thumbs

►in your code:
We're sending 8 bits to Arduino as per interface settings, so that means values between 0 and 255. 0-127 is -ve and 128-255 is positive (heave/surge)

I can't do -ve DOF so I have this line that clips anything 0-127 and 128 is minimum

if (actuatorPosition[currentActuator]<128) actuatorPosition[currentActuator]=128;

So now the values are 128-255 and these are mapped to the values which go to the servo as per below. These numbers vary servo by servo and with ASMC/E you even need to tweak for individual servos depending on how the tiny pots might have been adjusted for sensitivity.
