Good day Everyone, I’m trying to build a small rover/car for my kid and I’m using the CUAV V6X flight controller (only one that I have) and I wanted to use steering wheel from PC for simulations in that car. I’m not pretty sure how can I connect that USB output of the steering wheel to the V6X (I don’t want to use PC connection), is there any idea how connect it directly with the wire?
I tried raspberry pi to read USB digital signal and than to Arduino so it transfers it to PPM signal but it is not really going as planned. And adding this much additional hardware looks to me as a greater chance of failure.
If you don’t want to go through a “ground station” (like QGC), you could do it on a Raspberry Pi.
For instance, here is an example that uses the SDL2 library and MAVSDK to read in joystick signals and send MAVLink manual_control messages:
Here is something similar with MAVSDK-Python, however, without the joystick part. But I’m sure an LLM could easily give you the part to read in joystick signals.
