Rhino to RHINO2 Conversion Guide 

Page 21

 

Previous versions of Rhino used an integer range 0 – 255 to represent a voltage range 0 – 5V, where 
the value 128 would represent the centre position:  

 

Values either side of 128 indicated a voltage offset of 

19.6mV

 per step. For example, if 

Speed Pot 

Neutral

 was set to 

129

, then this represented a 

+19.6mV

 offset, that is: 

  

Similarly, a value of 

127

 would represent 2.4804V, that is:
