Introduction

The R/C Joy is an USB joystick emulation interface for R/C Transmitters. The transmitter must be connected to the R/C Joy interface using buddy (trainer) connector. R/C Joy has 3.5mm female 'Jack' socket for connecting to the buddy connector.

The Interface communicates with the PC via USB interface. The PC recognizes it as a seven channel, eight button joystick. Any program (simulators, games, etc.) which supports joystick can be controlled by your R/C transmitter.

The channel mapping between joystick and R/C Transmitter can be easily changed using the R/C Joy setup software. Any transmitter channel (from the eight channels) can be assigned to any analog channel or button of the joystick. Analog channels also can be reversed.

The hardware is very simple contains only one microcontroller and no other active part, only some resistors, capacitors and one xtal. It has bootloader so changing the firmware is easy and it can be done by using the R/C Joy Setup program.
