Watch the video for a full summary and demos.

In V1.9.x the GUI was redesigned to be easier to use, and we added effect monitoring options to see the calculated forces and statistics.

A simple profile management system allows to quickly change between settings for different games.

The speed and accel filters for the encoder can be tuned with 3 presets now with preview graphs.

The ADS1115 is now supported via I²C to allow 16b differential inputs with variable gain settings. This can be useful for pedals and reducing noise by placing the ADC close to the sensors.

The ADS1115 and local analog inputs now have manual range selection options and an optional digital lowpass filter.

Belt/Gear driven setups with a reduction between the encoder and the wheel/handle can use a fraction based reduction setting that prescales all positions so the range selection and all effects still work normally.
