ELRS-Joystick-Control
Control drones and airplanes using USB joysticks by converting gamepad inputs to Crossfire (CRSF) signals for ELRS transmitters.
What is ELRS-Joystick-Control?
ELRS Joystick Control is an open-source application that allows users to control drones and airplanes using USB joysticks or gamepads. It converts raw gamepad inputs into Crossfire (CRSF) signals, which are sent to an ELRS transmitter module for wireless communication with the aircraft. This eliminates the need for traditional RC transmitters, providing a flexible and accessible control method.
Drone and RC aircraft enthusiasts, hobbyists, and developers who want to use USB gamepads for control, especially those already invested in the ELRS ecosystem. It's also suitable for Raspberry Pi users looking to build portable ground control stations.
Developers choose ELRS Joystick Control for its ability to repurpose common USB gamepads into functional RC controllers, reducing hardware costs and leveraging familiar input devices. Its Web-UI and gRPC API offer extensive configurability and programmability, making it a versatile alternative to proprietary transmitter systems.
