USBtoPPM generator for PC based control applications
Hi Everyone,
This is last project of this year :D
I designed USB to PPM generator, this device generating PPM signals like TrainerBox for your Transmitter.
This mean, you can fly with your PC joystick or your own software based autopilot(if you can develope your software)
This is my test joystick
This is USB PPM generator device's inside
This is genrated 9 channel positive PPM signal(it can generate negative also)
And this is finished product's outside. It is similar size with USB stick and including 1.5 meter cable for your transmitter. I will sell it with compatible plugs for Futaba,Hitec, Jr, Multiplex, Sanwa, Airtronics, ESky.
Features;
I'm working on software already
Thanks for reading

Features;
- DirectX Based Joystick interface
- 9 channel PPM generator with compatible all RC Transmitters
- Cunfigurable PC based driver software for all joysticks or keyboard features.
- Point of View stick suport for looking around without headtracker(like simulation games)
- External plugin support for PC based autopilot applications
- Compatible with all Windows versions
I'm working on software already
Thanks for reading

Looks good! How does it compare to the commercial PCTx ($50)?

The only problem with the PCTx is the website is shipping by fedex ($$+tax) and need the servo commander to work without programming anything.
the total is 150$ + shipping , too much expensive.

@Tycinis;
I know this systemi it is simple midi joystick to ppm converter, using old style midi socket for reading joysticks potentiometer. It is usefull for if you want to fly with your old joystick.
My design using your computer for generating PPM, you can control it with your own softwares or joystick like controllers.
@Chris;
Yes i learned i'm not only one after i designed that :) PCTx looking similar idea. Competition is very easy for me, I'm shipping only $3.50 with international registered mail and i'm a computer programmer, control software will be free :) I'm not sure but price will be around $70 included softwares etc.

Today i tested new software based head tracker.
I will use this for my new USBtoPPM device. Computer based headtracking simple and cheaper than hardware trackers.
