That's why device drivers are built, to interface analog devices with digital thingamabobs.... works by clamping the infinite level of analogue values into discreet interval ranges each of which is identifiable by a unique numeric value. Then this same device driver might need to present itself to an operating system as a joystick with slider pots. A game like CLOD knows what a joystick is and can be configured to used aspects of multiple joysticks in its mapping tables..... and so on.Kuntz wrote:OK so I've got the pot working on the Arduino but although I can vary the length of time the LED flashes for in code, the pot turn is not recognised by default in COD control analog axis, ie, I select the control and turn the pot but nothing appears. So, how do I get COD to recognise the control? Is it code or is it something I need to install or code?
Of course, building this kind of item generally means avoiding .NET or other CLR based development languages (and Java for the same reason). So, if you do not have assembly or C/C++ development skills now is as good time as any to start learning....
Good luck...

P.S. I understand that schizophrenia is quite a problem. I would like to recommend that you do what you can to manage all of these alter egos of yours so that you can maximise the benefits of your research into this engineering domain. You should also choose your strongest alter ego to do the research as well.
