Finished serial joystick conversion

Posted 02-29-2008 at 06:41 PM by cdog4w
Thought I'd post a picture of the finished serial joystick conversion I did on my micro-t transmitter. Now I just plug a cable in and I'm ready to game with a real controller for any rc driving games on the PC. Should still work as a regular transmitter too!

My collection!

Posted 02-29-2008 at 06:40 PM by cdog4w
Thought I'd post my RC collection. It covers 1/43 up to 1/18 and just recently a 1/14.

First up is my proper Kyosho mini-z collection, a jade skyline AWD, an autoscale AE86 and my KO Mars radio with mini-z module.


Next up are all my 18th scale. A rc18t that I'm rebuilding, a Vendetta ST and my prized XRay M18.

Dual rate!

Posted 02-26-2008 at 10:07 AM by cdog4w
I hooked up the dual rate pot and then setup the program to just spit out the byte values of the a2d over serial. I was expecting to read the value and have to do some math based on it to get the % of the wheel value to send out as the actual steering deflection.

When DR was on max, the DR pot reading exactly matched the wheel. When I turned it down, it matched the wheel, but was toned down. So no maths needed, i just read the DR pot! The cool thing is, I send the wheel, then...

Success!

Posted 02-25-2008 at 04:18 PM by cdog4w
Finally tracked the issue down to a failing wire in my serial connection (homemade cable using cat5 since that way I only needed 1 serial connector and didn't need to buy a serial cable).

I have the setup running but the steering is a bit twitchy so next I will see about hooking the dual rate pot up and using it to alter the steering output.

I've decided not to implement trims on the radio since you can calibrate in windows, but that leaves 2 pots (the trims) and 2...

Built the board but need to debug some problems...

Posted 02-24-2008 at 01:42 PM by cdog4w
Well, I built the board, and put the connections on the micro-t controller but something isn't working right. Hopefully its something small because it should be pretty straightforward based on my initial test. So far I've only added the connections for the wheel and trigger, not any of the trims or dual rate.
