Sanity check on new sensor

[lolachampcar]

I'm working on adding the pot in my elevator trim motor as a Skyview trim widget.  Please let me know if I am on the right track with the following-

In Sensor (SFG) configuration file
This describes the sensor?
I am using a wiper and return from a pot
in the trim motor.  The Dynon pull up on
the wiper provides the voltage divider.
With the gain set to one, will this give me
raw voltage?  I ask because the sensor debug
screen seems to give A/D counts and not raw
voltage.  It is nice to see my physical connection
is working with the sensor debug screen

In display (DFG) configuration file
This tells the system that a "MX_Elevator_Trim"
sensor is connected to c37_p4?
c37_p4={
valid=1
name=ELTRIM
id=MX_ELevator_Trim

}
}


This part actually turns on a widget to display data?

Is there a reason you aren't just using the standard trim input and configuration that SkyView already supplies? I don't see that you are trying to do anything that we don't already support.

and that would look like?

Set up your inputs as "POSITION" and then the appropriate aileron, elevator, rudder, or flap, and then use the calibration wizard to calibrate them.
