Abstract:
A system for automatically calibrating an output of a control device for computer applications, comprising:a first module, including an input and an output, for producing a minimum axis value, the input coupled to receive an input axis value from the control device;a second module, including an input and an output, for producing a maximum axis value, the input coupled to receive the input axis value from the control device;a third module, including an input and an output, the input coupled to receive the input axis value from the control device, the third module for producing a center axis value in response to the input axis value remaining substantially constant for a predetermined interval of time; anda fourth module, including at least two inputs and an output, a first input coupled to receive the input axis value from the control device, a second input coupled to the outputs of the first, the second, and the third modules for receiving the minimum, the maximum, and the center axis values, respectively, the fourth module for processing the input axis value and the minimum, the maximum, and the center axis values to produce, at the output of the fourth module, a calibrated axis value that is scaled within a default axis value range.
