[simpits-tech] Got it hooked up!

Hey Gene,

A few things on that pot behavior...
I suspect you may have already done this but make sure the pots are 
first calibrated in Windows Game Controllers. That's bitten me more than 
once in EPIC.

The other thing to is that I've found that some pots  have a smaller 
"Usable" Range". You might need to re-locate the dead-zone (Physical) 
especially on linear-throw pots.

I've not had to use shielded coax for any of my projects but that might 
be a consideration... EMI  :-(Probably not a factor because when the 
throttles don't move in your video, the sim throttles also don;t move.
