2/4 Motor Open has Sensitivity input - Arcade/Tank Drive use Square Inputs

[Rwood359]

Our drivers have been complaining that the Joy Sticks are too sensitive.  We modified Sensitivity in the open and it didn't seem to make any difference.  Looking at the Drive routines, Square Inputs is used and Sensitivity is not used.

Is Sensitivity used any place?

We'll set Square Inputs and see whats happens.

Sensitivity is used in the ratio curve version of the arcade drive, but not anywhere else. Square inputs is defaulted to true, which already decreases the sensitivity. I don't think changing it to false would help. You will probably get better response with Jaguars as opposed to Victor speed controllers.

It seems counterintuitive to me that sensitivity is used only one place and exposed by the api, but square inputs is used everywhere and not exposed.

I agree about the default API.

And changing Square Inputs didn't change anything.

Thanks

The sensitivity is only used by the Ratio Curve style of ArcadeDrive polyVI.  Square inputs are the default.  We had plans to incorporate this into other VIs and have an advanced version, but the feature was decided not to be included.  In the future, it will probably be revisited.
