Hey guys and girls, This is my first project and ive been really reluctant to ask for help because of pride and its all been going along so smoothly. well up until about 3 days ago, so ive bitten the bullet and here i am asking for help 
Problem:
On my gauges, I cant seem to get the needle calibrated to the max and min range i want displayed on the analog display, the needle goes off the screen with excessive revolutions… ive been trying to fix it for days but im a bit unsure where to look, most of the resources are in regards to mapping sensors i’ve tried just about everything i can think of
What im trying to do:
have a working instrument cluster for a RC car where the speed and RPM gauge reacts to channel 1 and the temp and fuel gauge react to channel 0 (will be changed to a volt meter and temp sender down the track)
-have the rpm/speed gauge read 0rpm/0mph when there is no PWM signal (simulate engine off)
-with a pwm signal, have the gauge start reading from 900rpm to simulate a engine idling.
- a scale of 1500-2000pwm so that the RPM and speed gauge only react to trigger pulls on the TX and wont sent the needle back of the gauge when reverse or brakes are applied (1000-1500pwm)
here is my code… forgive me as it may be the worst u have seen?, this is my first project so hopefully it will get better lol
I think the problem is the loop, Ive tried to learn by coping peoples tutorials but i think its ended up as a big jumbled mess
here is the loop and ive attached the full code
oid loop() {
p = ch[1]; //get value from ch 0
w = map(p,0,1023,1400,2000); //map it between 1400 and 2000
m = map(p,0,1023,1400,1900); //map needle movement
//show needle and dial for RPM gauge
rpm = m; //135 = zero position, 180 = just before middle, 0 = middle, 45 = max
if (rpm<45){ //positie correctie
rpm=rpm+135;
}
else {
rpm=rpm-45;
}
p1 = ch[0]; // get value from ch 0
w1 = map(p1,0,1023,1400,2000); // map it between 1400 and 2000
m1 = map(p1,0,1023,1400,1900); // map needle movement
// show needle and dial for fuel gauge
fuel = m1; // 135 = zero position, 180 = just before middle, 0 = middle, 45 = max
if (fuel<45){ // positie correctie
fuel=fuel+135;
}
else {
fuel=fuel-45;
}
p2 = ch[1]; // get value from ch 1
w2 = map(p2,0,1023,1400,2000); // map it between 1400 and 2000
m2 = map(p2,0,1023,1400,1900); // map needle movement
// show needle and dial for speed gauge
sped = m2; // 135 = zero position, 180 = just before middle, 0 = middle, 45 = max
if (sped<45){ // positie correctie
sped=sped+135;
}
else {
sped=sped-45;
}
p3 = ch[0]; // get value from ch 0
w3 = map(p3,0,1023,1400,2000); // map it between 1400 and 2000
m3 = map(p3,0,1023,1400,1900); // map needle movement
// show needle and dial for temp gauge
temp = m3; // 135 = zero position, 180 = just before middle, 0 = middle, 45 = max
if (temp<45){ // positie correctie
temp=temp-180;
}
else {
temp=temp+45;
}
ch[0] = pulseIn(2, HIGH); //set pin 2 to ch[0]
ch[1] = pulseIn(3, HIGH); //set pin 3 to ch[1]
ch[2] = pulseIn(4, HIGH); //set pin 4 to ch[2]
ch[3] = pulseIn(5, HIGH); //set pin 5 to ch[3]
ch[4] = pulseIn(6, HIGH); //set pin 6 to ch[4]
ch[5] = pulseIn(7, HIGH); //set pin 7 to ch[5]
Serial.print(ch[0]); //print ch1 to serial monitor
Serial.print(" - "); //print - between channels
Serial.print(ch[1]); //print ch1 to serial monitor
Serial.print(" - "); //print - between channels
I2C_SLA = 0x078; //Display address
u8g.firstPage();
do
{
u8g.drawBitmapP( 0, 0, 16, 15, lefticon); //draw left icons
rpmgauge(rpm); //draw RPM gauge
fuelgauge(fuel); //draw fuel gauge
}
while(u8g.nextPage());
I2C_SLA = 0x07A; //Display address
u8g.firstPage();
do

}
while(u8g.nextPage());
}
last progress photo, Right side has yellow icons now
