This driver let you use your own RC controller plugged into the adapter that comes with PhoenixRC or other compatible adapters.
The adapter supports 7 analog channels and 1 digital input switch.
13.1. Notes¶
Many RC controllers is able to configure which stick goes to which channel. This is also configurable in most simulators, so a matching is not necessary.
The driver is generating the following input event for analog channels:
| Channel | Event | 
|---|---|
| 1 | ABS_X | 
| 2 | ABS_Y | 
| 3 | ABS_RX | 
| 4 | ABS_RY | 
| 5 | ABS_RUDDER | 
| 6 | ABS_THROTTLE | 
| 7 | ABS_MISC | 
The digital input switch is generated as an BTN_A event.
13.2. Manual Testing¶

For example:
> modprobe pxrc
> input-events <devnr>
To print all input events from input devnr.
