range = 1000          # Not sure if this is ever not 1000 in FreePIE. Set to maximum value of "input"
deadzone = 16         # Deadzone relative to "range" above. With my X-55 rotary, the granularity was 8, so at 16 this gives 2 units of deadzone.
input = joystick[2].z # Change this to whatever joystick and axis is your slider

if starting:
    deadzoneStart = 0

if input > (deadzoneStart + deadzone):
    deadzoneStart = input - deadzone
elif input < deadzoneStart:
    deadzoneStart = input

output = ((deadzoneStart + deadzone/2) * vJoy[0].axisMax)/(range - deadzone/2)
