Rich's suggestion to add a 'deadzone' in pygamereader.py was very helpful, esp. for a novice with the PS3 controller in reducing the noise in throttle motion.
Before seeing that hint I had experimented in the config file (PS3_Mode_1.jason) with remapping yaw to the L1 (-) and R1 (+) or L1 (-) and L2 (+) keys, but clicking them only gives +/- the max value set for yaw (e.g., +/- 200), with no values in between, and no return to 0, so not very practical/useful.
If anyone knows how to enable a controller button with a continuous range of values (i.e., each click increments the value rather than going full scale) I would be interested in knowing how.
Many thanx to all at Bitcraze, a great start to the summer!
Cheers, Leland
