[Fixed]
I can confirm that joystick values in 8-bit format works with FPV Freerider! I'm using a Joystick library from Heironimus, he has two versions, the older one works with this simulator. However, the channels "Throttle" and "Rudder" do not register in the calibration menu. Using for example Z-axis and X-rotation for throttle and yaw works.
Hi!
I have more or less the same setup for my controller, only difference is that I am reading the serial (IBUS) signal instead of reading the PWM. However, FPV Freerider does not recognize my arduino micro as a usb-device. Or something similar.. There is no stick response in the calibration setup. It used to work before, and works in other simulators (Velocidrone). It is also recognized as a USB-game controller in Windows, where all axis behave as expected.
Would love to this controller in FPV Freerider as well, as it runs a lot better on my lower end computer than other simulators.
I have uninstalled vJoy and SmartPropoPlus which I used with an older audio trainer cable.
Is there any other known fixes out there? Otherwise it would be great if there was an option for choosing which USB device to use for input, in case there are more devices connected
Hi, great simulator/game :)
I just spent a couple of evenings figuring out how to get my FS-i6 radio connected to my Linux Mint 18.2 computer. Figured I could share my procedure.
1) Aquire or DIY a trainer cable to use with the computers microphone input. (I tried a cheap USB audio dongle as well, but the resolution on the input was quite bad!)
2) I found the following branch of ppm2tx to work on my computer after installing some missing packages: https://github.com/rhwilr/txppm
3) Connect controller, turn it on, launch ppm2tx, enjoy!
Before doing this, I already tested Freerider with my Arduino Micro hacked Esky USB controller, and it worked perfect!
