This version has higher resolution on the joystick axes, and the layout of the code isn’t slightly terrible. went through a second iteration of hardware for this project with a Teensy 3.1. After connecting the rudder, elevator, aileron, and throttle signals on the receiver to an Arduino, a simple bit of code and the UnoJoy library allows any Arduino and RC receiver to become a USB joystick.
Since a receiver simply outputs signals to servos, this provides a vastly simpler interface for an Arduino to listen in on. Normally, a USB simulator adapter plugs in to a 3.5mm jack on the transmitter used for a ‘buddy box’, but had an extra receiver sitting around. Buying one of these adapters would mean a week of waiting for shipping, so did the logical thing and made his own. The usual way of using an RC transmitter with a computer is to buy a USB simulator adapter that emulates a USB game pad through a port on the transmitter. has been spending the season with RC flight simulators for some practice time. He had been using an old Xbox 360 controller, but that was really unsuitable for proper RC simulation – a much better solution would be to use his normal RC transmitter as a computer peripheral. I just turn on TX and fly.It’s winter, and that means terrible weather and very few days where flying RC planes and helicopters is tolerable.
I leave the unit with the receiver plugged in. I have been using my simstick with Pheonix V3 Beta for 2 days now & it works GREAT.
NOW I just switch on my DX8 and enjoy flying my simulator!!” “SIMSTICK is a revolutionary system that eliminates all those irritating cables.says Matt Lodge of Fastlad Performance Flight Team.It’s Simple, easy to use and very tidy for the Misses !!!” Personally would recommend one of these units to anyone.
“My original Simstick is over 2 years old now and has worked flawlessly so I’m sure I will get the same great service out of the PRO version.
I can now sit on the couch in front of my big screen TV using my DX-8 while practicing new moves!.
