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

1.5 Adjusng the Force
The force necessary to move the Feather is adjustable
in four steps ranging from approx. 5 grams to 20
grams. The force is set by ng one, two, three or
four magnets. These being ed under the 3mm grub
screw at the centre of the of the base.
Spare magnets are stored under the second grub screw.
Normally 2 magnets are ed as standard giving approx. 10 grams of force.

screw as they are
slightly dierent.
To avoid damage only
screw the grub screw
unl level (ush) with
the body of the

1.6 Knob selecon
The knob can be replaced . The
standard knob is a low prole
20mm cork sphere and is suita-

force from 5g to 20g.
See secon 1.5
Other knob opons are not rec-
ommended for the lightest (5g)

Mouse Control
The Feather mouse model CM/FM appears to the computer as a USB mouse and
can be customised using the Celc Magic Feather PC conguraon applicaon to
suit the user.
There are three basic types of mouse operaon to choose from.
1 Normal
Le and right buons via the
external inputs give access to le
& right clicks
2 Manual scan
Used with a Celc Magic external
display (model CM/ED1) that will
show which command is being
selected. See secon 2.1.2
3 Auto (Buon free)
With the joysck centred the rightmost three leds on the ED1 display toggles
between Red & Green. When on Green if the joysck is moved then the mouse
cursor will move normally.
However if moved to the right (East) whilst Red leds are showing then the
command can be selected as in Manual Scan above.
If moved Up, Le or Down when the Red leds are on, selects opons associated
with the le buon ie single/double click or drag..

operate buons and features. See secon 2.1.3 for full details.
Scan Speed: Sets the speed for Auto or Manual scan selecon of buons and
features. See secons 2.1.2 & 3
Scroll Speed: The rate that the screen scrolls up and down when scroll is acvated.
Standard Inputs: Each
buon can be selected
to be any of the shown
funcons.
Oponal Inputs:
As standard Inputs
using Sip & Pu if
Feather has the Sip &

2.1.2 Manual & Auto Scanning
Using the external display (CM/ED1) any mouse features can be selected either by
using a single buon congured as Manual Scan or by using no buons if the
buon free Auto Scan is turned on.

2.2 Operation Joystick: model CM/FJ
Simple Joysck Control
The Feather joysck model CM/FM appears to a computer as a simple PC joysck
with two buons & is customised using the Celc Magic Feather PC conguraon
applicaon.
When used with a PC the two buons can be congured to be any of 1–8 buons
available on a PC joysck.
It is also compable with the
Microso Adapve Controller
oen referred to as a XAC.
The XAC unfortunately does
not support joysck buons
in a useful way.
2.2.1 Conguraon
Unlike the Mouse or FGCM
variants of the Feather there
are fewer customisable fea-
tures apart form the standard
elements covered in secon
1.2 above.

2.3 Operation Games Control Mixer: model CM/FGCM
Games Control Mixer
The Feather Games Control Mixer model CM/FGCM is designed to operate as a
input device into the Console Tuner Titan Two device running Celc Magic J
method soware. The combinaon of the Feather oering unparalleled sensivity
and the Titan oering access to all popular consoles is a powerful combinaon.
The details of all the opons available are beyond this hand book and further
informaon is available on the Celc Magic website.
The concept is that a single buon or sip or pu changes the Joysck into a four
ways switch North/ East/ South & West. 8 dierent modes (called J modes) are
then available in each of these direcons, eg changing the single Feather joysck
from say le sck to right sck and a host of other possibilies.
2.3.1 FGCM Buon inputs
Unlike the Mouse & standard Joysck models the Feather FGCM supports up to 4
inputs in is normally used with two spier cables that allows for byons PB1—PB4
as shown. One of these inputs should be congured as SHIFT and by default this is
PB2.

16
www.CelcMagic.org 16
2.3.2 FGCM Conguraon
One of the two Standard Inputs PB inputs should be congured as SHIFT and by
default this is PB2.
Addional Oponal Inputs are available ,up to four PBs on request.
Sip & Pu is also supported* and oers
the same opons along with TITAN ONLY
where analogue levels of Sip & Pu can
be ulised for example to accelerate or
brake.
