Configure Joystick
This screen allows you to configure plane control using a joystick connected to your PC instead
of an RC transmitter. You will need an additional controller board connected to your Computer's USB
port, and the appropriate emission module compatible with the aircraft receiver.
You must configure the joystick operation in the same way you would do with a conventional
RC transmitter. The different variables to set are channels travels, the channel number for each axis of
the joystick, if a channel should be reversed, and the mix type (normal, elevon and V-tail). We
recommend using the same channel assignment that in RC transmitter to allow RC transmitter
performing double control flight and switching between the joystick and RC transmitter if necessary.
You can also assign a different function to each joystick button. However joystick shafts have a
fixed role. Moving the Joystick will control the ailerons and elevator. Turning the Joystick will control
the rudder and the throttle with the slider control. The Pan and Tilt will move through the joystick cap.
As this control is not proportional, will need to set separately the speed at which it’s moving.
