Need help with a joystick input

[doon1]

I'm working on a simple FFB rudder for MSFS2020. The rudder control has a range of -1.000 to 1.000 with 0 being centered. I need the negative range to display as a positive range (inverse). So that when I move the rudder either way from center it will go from 0 up to 1. Not sure how to do this in c++. Any help with the syntax?

You could use the abs() function.

float value;
float absValue;

void setup()
{
    Serial.begin(115200);
    while(!Serial);

    value = 0.955;
    absValue = abs(value);

    Serial.println(value,3);
    Serial.println(absValue,3);
    
    value = -0.973;
    absValue = abs(value);

    Serial.println(value,3);
    Serial.println(absValue,3);
}

void loop()
{
  
}

Gives...

13:23:46.589 -> 0.955
13:23:46.589 -> 0.955
13:23:46.589 -> -0.973
13:23:46.589 -> 0.973

You can easily "roll your own"...

if (x < 0) x = 0 - x;
