% value in Outputs should not be rounded

[lthole]

Ethos 1.5.7

Curves should should not do any rounding to the nearest %.

I used a test Var of 20.6 to adjust a curve point. Using the curve to adjust the mid point of 1500us I get an output value of 1607us which is not correct, and the % value says 21.0%. Calculation is 20.6% of 512us = 105.472 so output should be 1500 + 105.472 = 1605us not 1607us.

Please refer to ch6 in the screenshot below:

I agree, please also note that curve points editor also does not allow anything but whole percents, it'd be much better if curve points could have the same precision as vars

[Alex00101]

May I please bump this up? Would be very useful if implemented

As already argued:
In Outputs the min/max can be adjusted to within 0.1%. It is much more convenient to adjust the output using a curve, so in this case the curve should also be adjustable to within 0.1%. This is important on gliders with large control surfaces where you need to match for example the ailerons and flaps to align exactly.

I will work on this now. But I will really like if I get help for tests in the next nightlies, because this sort of change is dangerous if not done properly!

I think that Curve offset should also have one decimal to be consistent!

@bsongis-frsky let me know what u need tested.. I have time to play tomorrow on this

Looks great and happy to test!

[bsongis-frsky]

Keyboard support added in Model / Curves screen. Much needed with 1 decimal!

[bsongis-frsky]

1 decimal added to curves offset

Has anyone tested the conversion process to make sure that the new precision is added the end of existing curve points, so point at 20% isn't converted to 2.0% when updating?

[bsongis]

Yes I have checked that myself. But tests are never enough as we have seen so much in the past!

Thanks for your diligence!
