Warnings
The Feather uses small magnets
within its construcon and
although no stronger then what
would be found in headphones
those users with pacemakers
should be aware and take
precauons and advice before
using a Feather device.
The Feather joysck has an
exchangeable knob that would be
a choking hazard to small
children.
The Feather is a very sensive
device. Avoid leaving the in
direct sunlight that may cause
small distorons aecng its
accuracy.

1.3 Conguraon Applicaon
The PC Feather Conguraon App can be
downloaded from the Celc Magic website and
is used to congure any model of Feather.
Angular Sensivity: This sets the angle of movement to achieve 100% output.
Full = +/- 6 degrees | Mid = +/- 4.5 degrees | Tight = +/- 3 degrees
Deadband: The amount of movement that is ignored before the output starts.
Orthogonal control: Restricts movement to Up/Down and Le/Right only ie all
angles in between are ignored. Auto allows any angle at high values of movement
and restricts to orthogonal for ne movements.
Tremor Filter: Slows down inputs to reduce the eects of hand tremor at the cost
of speed.
Polaries: Swaps the axis and axis polaries to allow for novel installaons
Led Bright: Sets the brightness of any external Led displays if used
