The first thing to determine was what numbers control which direction. the 1st number controls the pointer location in X(+); how far it can go right, the 2nd number is Y(+) how far it goes up, the third is X(-); left and the 4th is Y(-); down. And based on the values of all four numbers determines where the center will fall. Too much in Y(+) makes for a high center etc...

Now adding "3c1" to "37f" and divding by 2 on my calculator didn't yeild very good results (since mine doesn't add letters very well) so I guessed using a method I could never explain logically.

What I came up with seemed like a decent solution according to the "Pointer Location" within the "Dev Tools" app. in the eclair build. If anyone determines a better one I"ll be glad to use it!

To do calculations in hex use windows calculator and switch to Scientific then put it is hexadecimal mode. (In windows 7 select programmer mode).

(3c1+37f)/2 = 3a0

I think you missed the humor...
