Connect RC controllers to your computer

Requires an Arduino Mega and any RC receivers

Recommended RC simulators

This code makes Arudino+RC controller emulates a USB joystick for any computer and software.

For Windows: Phoenix RC Download do not forget to install an emulator to avoid needing their proprietary dongle.

For Linux: Check this website here. Koji and Serzed have tried crrcsim. Not as realistic as Phoenix RC, but it works. You can install it via apt and ARU (yay).

Wiring

Connect the RC receiver's ground to Arduino's GND power (middle pin) to 5V on Arduino Connect signal pins to Arduino pins according to the table below

RC Channel Arduino Pin
1 21
2 20
3 19
4 18

How to install

  1. Use Arduino IDE to upload this code to Arduino Mega
  2. Download UnoJoy
  3. Put Arduino into DFU MODE (guide)
  4. Run Unojoy/TurnIntoAJoystick (.bat in Windows, .command in Mac?, .sh in Linux) to turn Arduino into a USB joystick

When you want to turn the Arduino back into a normal Arduino, run MegaJoy/TurnIntoAnArduino
