Raw
Value
unsigned
16-bit The positive pulse width of the signal on RC channel 1. This value is 0xFFFF
(65535) if no valid signal is detected.

RC1 Raw
Value unsigned
16-bit
The positive pulse width of the signal on RC channel 1. This value is 0xFFFF
(65535) if no valid signal is detected or if the signal is outside of the Error
Max/Error Min channel calibration settings.

RC1
Scaled
Value
signed
16-bit
The scaled version of the RC1 raw value (based on RC channel 1 calibration
settings). This value is 0 if the raw value is 0xFFFF, else it ranges from -3200
to +3200.

Analog Channel Inputs
The raw and scaled voltages measured on the analog channel inputs are always available through serial variable
requests, which allows programs using the serial interface to factor the channel inputs into their motor control
algorithms. If the controller detects a disconnected potentiometer (this requires potentiometer disconnect detection to
be enabled under the Advanced Settings tab), the raw channel value is reported as 0xFFFF (65535) and the scaled
channel value is reported as 0. The Simple Motor Controller is always reading the analog input channels, even when
the Input Mode is not Analog.
