pxrc - PhoenixRC Flight Controller Adapter
=======================================================
:Author: Marcus Folkesson <marcus.folkesson@gmail.com>
This driver let you use your own RC controller plugged into the
adapter that comes with PhoenixRC [1]_ or other compatible adapters.
The adapter supports 7 analog channels and 1 digital input switch.
Notes
=====
Many RC controllers is able to configure which stick goes to which channel.
This is also configurable in most simulators, so a matching is not necessary.
The driver is generating the following input event for analog channels:
+---------+----------------+
| Channel | Event |
+=========+================+
| 1 | ABS_X |
+---------+----------------+
| 2 | ABS_Y |
+---------+----------------+
| 3 | ABS_RX |
+---------+----------------+
| 4 | ABS_RY |
+---------+----------------+
| 5 | ABS_RUDDER |
+---------+----------------+
| 6 | ABS_THROTTLE |
+---------+----------------+
| 7 | ABS_MISC |
+---------+----------------+
The digital input switch is generated as an `BTN_A` event.
Manual Testing
==============
To test this driver's functionality you may use `input-event` which is part of
the `input layer utilities` suite [2]_.
For example::
> modprobe pxrc
> input-events <devnr>
To print all input events from input `devnr`.
