I’ve used Joystick Gremlin for a lot of custom controller setups, but recently started using SPAD due to the logitech Radio Panel.
So, In joystick gremlin I had a rudder/brake setup as follows:
I have racing pedals, so three pedals.
In Gremlin I had the left and right pedals as left and right rudder respectively, this is fine, and working in SPAD.
The brake was set up so that the brake pedal controlled both toe brake axis. Brake pedal combined with one of the rudder pedals would add that pedal to the respective toe brake, and subtract from the other toe brake. That way I could have differential brakes with only three pedals (a little hacky, but it works really well in practice)
How would I set this up in SPAD?
You can’t use the normal axis assignment in SPAD, but you can set up your axis that it sends a value to a variable each time it changes. There are three options what to send: a fixed value, a value from another variable, or an expression. In your case you have to build an expression where you calculate the value from your input axes (which are also available as variables) and send it to the left and right brake axis variable. The only interesting part is to get the scaling right. Maybe the value range from your pedals is already the same as the sim expects, but maybe you have to rescale it.

Yeah, I figured it would be something like that.
In JG I just clipped at the axis limits, and it’s worked fine. In essence, half brake and half left pedal will give me full left brake, and zero right brake. It’s really easy to modulate with a good pedal setup (16bit load cell).
I’ll look into variables in SPAD, thanks for the tip.
