USB-Interface (without transmitter cord)

R/C USB Interface for flight simulators

Technical data

The RC-USB-Interface has some enhancements compared to the Gameport Interface:

• It can be used by modern notebooks equipped without gameport.

• supports USB 1.1, USB 2.0, Hot-Plugging and is powered by USB

• works with all transmitters: Though easily exchangeable transmitter cords, you can use one USB-Interface for different transmitters

• Up to 9 RC channels are transmitted to the PC. Consequently, you can also control flaps, retractable landing gear, .. in suited simultators with the R/C transmitter.

• channel assignment: R/C channel 1 to 7 -> joystick axis 1 to 8, R/C channel 5 to 9 -> button 1 to 8

• The small tremble of the model rudders (due to many analog-digital convertions: PPM A -> µcontroller AD -> RC-unit DA -> sound card AD -> simulator) is reduced by the completly digital working RC-USB-Interface (PPM A -> µcontroller AD -> USB client D -> USB host D -> simulator).

• fast and precise digitalization with 256 steps

• flashing control LED

Compatibility

After having installed the HID-driver (HID-driver, Windows included), the USB Interface is instantly ready for operation on Win98 SE, WinME, Win2000, WinXP (instruction manual usb-interface_en.pdf [210kB]), , LINUX, Mac OS X (Screenshots osx.pdf [280kB]), , .. (in general: all O/S that support HID USB joysticks). It works with nearly all R/C transmitters equipped with a buddy box.

The USB Interface works with most R/C simulators that can be controlled by a normal joystick:

It doesn't work with Reflex, Reflex XTR or True-Flight.

transmitter cord

The USB-Interface hard- and software is designed to work with all transmitters. The Interface is equipped with a connector for transmitter cords fitting your individual buddy box.
