 Select Curve with a Joystick Axis
Hello,

I'm trying to use a joystick slider/axis as a curve select. I've tried the following and got a syntax error:

Code:
if joystick[2].sliders[0] in range (0, 204.8):
   x = Cyclic.1.getY(joystick[1].x)
   y = Cyclic.1.getY(joystick[1].y)
   z = Rudder.1.getY(joystick[6].zRotation)
if joystick[2].sliders[0] in range (204.9, 409.6):
   x = Cyclic.2.getY(joystick[1].x)
   y = Cyclic.2.getY(joystick[1].y)
   z = Rudder.2.getY(joystick[6].zRotation)
if joystick[2].sliders[0] in range (409.7, 614.4):
   x = Cyclic.3.getY(joystick[1].x)
   y = Cyclic.3.getY(joystick[1].y)
   z = Rudder.3.getY(joystick[6].zRotation)
if joystick[2].sliders[0] in range (614.5, 819.2):
   x = Cyclic.4.getY(joystick[1].x)
   y = Cyclic.4.getY(joystick[1].y)
   z = Rudder.4.getY(joystick[6].zRotation)
if joystick[2].sliders[0] in range (819.3, 1024):
   x = Cyclic.5.getY(joystick[1].x)
   y = Cyclic.5.getY(joystick[1].y)
   z = Rudder.5.getY(joystick[6].zRotation)
if joystick[2].sliders[0] in range (1024.1, 1228.8):
   x = Cyclic.6.getY(joystick[1].x)
   y = Cyclic.6.getY(joystick[1].y)
   z = Rudder.6.getY(joystick[6].zRotation)
if joystick[2].sliders[0] in range (1228.9, 1433.6):
   x = Cyclic.7.getY(joystick[1].x)
   y = Cyclic.7.getY(joystick[1].y)
   z = Rudder.7.getY(joystick[6].zRotation)
if joystick[2].sliders[0] in range (1433.7, 1638.4):
   x = Cyclic.8.getY(joystick[1].x)
   y = Cyclic.8.getY(joystick[1].y)
   z = Rudder.8.getY(joystick[6].zRotation)
if joystick[2].sliders[0] in range (1638.5, 1843.2):
   x = Cyclic.9.getY(joystick[1].x)
   y = Cyclic.9.getY(joystick[1].y)
   z = Rudder.9.getY(joystick[6].zRotation)
if joystick[2].sliders[0] in range (1843.3, 2048):
   x = Cyclic.getY(joystick[1].x)
   y = Cyclic.getY(joystick[1].y)
   z = Rudder.getY(joystick[6].zRotation)


I have 10 curves and I'm trying to divide the slider into 10 positions. In this case the 0-204.8 range would be the least aggressive curve, and 1843.3-2048 would be the most aggressive curve, with each curve becoming progressively more aggressive. I feel like I'm almost barking up the right tree, but my syntax is definitely wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions?

 Re: Select Curve with a Joystick Axis
Is 'Cyclic.1' a valid curve name? Maybe that is what causes the syntax error?

 Re: Select Curve with a Joystick Axis
maybe range function is not right here

i dont write this
if joystick[2].sliders[0] in range (0, 204.8):

but
Code:
value = joystick[2].sliders[0]
if  0 <= value < 204.9):
   x = Cyclic.1.getY(joystick[1].x)
   y = Cyclic.1.getY(joystick[1].y)
   z = Rudder.1.getY(joystick[6].zRotation)
if  204.9 <= value < 409.6):
   x = Cyclic.2.getY(joystick[1].x)
   y = Cyclic.2.getY(joystick[1].y)
   z = Rudder.2.getY(joystick[6].zRotation)


and so on

 Re: Select Curve with a Joystick Axis
Thanks for the suggestions. Having dots in the names of the curves was a problem, and so was the way that I was trying to define ranges. Here is my current code, which is now working as expected.

Code:
slider = joystick[2].sliders[0]
if  (0 <= slider <= 204.8):
   x = Cyclic100.getY(joystick[1].x)
   y = Cyclic100.getY(joystick[1].y)
   z = Rudder100.getY(joystick[6].zRotation)
if (204.9 <= slider <= 409.6):
   x = Cyclic90.getY(joystick[1].x)
   y = Cyclic90.getY(joystick[1].y)
   z = Rudder90.getY(joystick[6].zRotation)
if (409.7 <= slider <= 614.4):
   x = Cyclic80.getY(joystick[1].x)
   y = Cyclic80.getY(joystick[1].y)
   z = Rudder80.getY(joystick[6].zRotation)
if (614.5 <= slider <= 819.2):
   x = Cyclic70.getY(joystick[1].x)
   y = Cyclic70.getY(joystick[1].y)
   z = Rudder70.getY(joystick[6].zRotation)
if (819.3 <= slider <= 1024):
   x = Cyclic60.getY(joystick[1].x)
   y = Cyclic60.getY(joystick[1].y)
   z = Rudder60.getY(joystick[6].zRotation)
if (1024.1 <= slider <= 1228.8):
   x = Cyclic50.getY(joystick[1].x)
   y = Cyclic50.getY(joystick[1].y)
   z = Rudder50.getY(joystick[6].zRotation)
if (1228.9 <= slider <= 1433.6):
   x = Cyclic40.getY(joystick[1].x)
   y = Cyclic40.getY(joystick[1].y)
   z = Rudder40.getY(joystick[6].zRotation)
if (1433.7 <= slider <= 1638.4):
   x = Cyclic30.getY(joystick[1].x)
   y = Cyclic30.getY(joystick[1].y)
   z = Rudder30.getY(joystick[6].zRotation)
if (1638.5 <= slider <= 1843.2):
   x = Cyclic20.getY(joystick[1].x)
   y = Cyclic20.getY(joystick[1].y)
   z = Rudder20.getY(joystick[6].zRotation)
if (1843.3 <= slider <= 2048):
   x = Cyclic10.getY(joystick[1].x)
   y = Cyclic10.getY(joystick[1].y)
   z = Rudder10.getY(joystick[6].zRotation)


I'm making progress, but the behavior is still not quite right. The problem seems to be with the curves themselves. I've defined a series of curves to limit output when given maximum input. As an example, here's my least aggressive cyclic curve.

Code:
    <Curve>
      <Name>Cyclic10</Name>
      <Points>
        <Point>
          <X>0</X>
          <Y>921.6</Y>

          <Y>1110.2</Y>
        </Point>
        <Point>
          <X>2048</X>
          <Y>1126.4</Y>
        </Point>
      </Points>
      <ValidateCurve>true</ValidateCurve>
    </Curve>


Despite the first point being defined as 0,921.6, it seems to behave as if the first point is 0,0. As a result, moving the stick full right or full down limits the output range, but moving the stick full left or full up does not. The curve is limiting the output range effectively until full deflection, at which point it abruptly transitions from limited output to full. I've tried a few hacks at limiting the range, but none of my efforts have succeeded. Any ideas?

 Re: Select Curve with a Joystick Axis
There was a bug with the curve math, its fixed in this commit
