=======Simchair MKIV cyclic / pedals sensitivity (rates) control panel=======

{{http://hc625ma.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/IMG_20190924_230724.jpg?300}}

====Summary====

This panel allows you to set the sensitivity (rates) of your cyclic and pedals precisely, in a linear way: Make adjustments with the knobs, until your physical stick/pedals movements will roughly correspond to the on-screen ones, or in the way that you find most comfortable.

The default sensitivity values are set in the software, from bottom-left mark:

  MARK   SENS
  1      80
  2      85
  3      90
  4      95
  5      100 (MARKED WHITE)
  6      105
  7      110
  8      115
  9      120
  10     125

====Components====

  * 2 x 16K1 linear 10K pots
  * 2 x M3 nuts
  * 1 x Ethernet cable
  * 4 x M3x12 screws
  * 2 x M3x40 screws

This panel connects to the RATES (FORMER FTCR) port, located on the cyclic base. The port is wired in the following way:

  SOCKET PIN 1 -> VCC
  SOCKET PIN 2 -> GND
  SOCKET PIN 3 -> ADS1115 A2
  SOCKET PIN 4 -> ADS1115 A3
