APAC Pots
« on: December 02, 2020, 02:26:39 pm »
I'm midway through building my flight stick CP using a hacked PC stick wired direct to an APAC.

The pots are 100k and as long as the pots are connected before the APAC is powered it all works and stays calibrated no probs.


The question is ....... what if I unplug the flight CP and plug in another analogue CP, this time with 5k pots. I can rig a switch that powers the APAC off / on to reset it if needed, but will all the calibration stay the same?


I've got 5k pots coming for the other CP and the thought just struck me that I may be in trouble and need 100k again.

Thanks.

5K pots arrived today and YES you can hot swap different value pots and it all still works fine. No reboot required.
