released - halfway - pressed
0 - (-32767) <-> (32767) - 0
but does it happen in reverse order when releasing pedal ?

seems the interpretation of this is up to the application really,
but /if/ the -32767 to 32767 change happens all around the 'halfway'
spot, maybe it is (in the app. engine) interpreted as 'change'
and it's effect applied to 'car engine' not directly, but integrated 
(time-integral function applied) first ? 
(or if it is the /change/ here that matters , it actually
is a /time-derivative/ that actually applies to the simulation?)

I'd say, for the clutch simulation it's the /change-in-time/ that 
matters, not the /exact/ value; so no 'static' calibration is
ever going to be relevant (bar maybe the device telling us when the
pedal is fully pressed or fully released - in case app is not tracking
it)
