Hi guys..
I have an E-sky Honey Bee 2 and its transmitter is a coded one (PCM) according to E-sky support:
http://www.esky-sz.com/english/faq/index.asp (Question 9)
So, I'd like to use my transmitter with a simulator, but I don't know a PCM simulator.. All one only accept PPM transmitters..
How can I use my E-Sky 6ch transmitter with a simulator software ??
Thanks..
Alex.

Hi!
PCM will not work on sims as far as I know but if you have PCM capablity on your Tx you should be able to switch it over to PPM
.
Have you got a sim if so which one?

ESky "Channel Six" CCPM transmitter, which I have and which was sold with Honey Bee 2, is a PPM transmitter (with hard-wired CCPM mix).
You can verify if your TX is PPM or PCM quite eaily by trying if regular PPM receiver will work with your TX. Just take the receiver Xtal and stick it to (any?) single-conversion PPM receiver, then try if it receives your TX signal.
If your TX is indeed PPM (mine has "CCPM_FM" text on the front panel), you can use a serial PIC CCPM interface from www.MileHighWings.com, which will "unmix" the signal and allow you to use your TX with almost any simulator. No other interface, that I'm aware of, does CCPM "unmixing".
