Hi guys,
I am trying to connect my rc tx to linux operating system and run a simulator program, flightlab. What I can do now, is detect the rc, with the fms usb interface connected, but the stick movements are weird. I cant get it to zero at neutral.
When I connect a normal joystick, a thrustmaster joystick, I'm able to get values of
-33000 , 0 , 33000
low stick , mid stick , high stick.
but when I connect the fms usb interface, it gives values of
-15000 , -33000,33000 , 15000
low stick , mid stick , high stick
It jumps from -ve to +ve max value at center stick, at no point of stick movement was I able to get a value of 0.
I've tried changing the curve on the tx but to no avail.
Would like to ask you all for help, have you used the usb interface on linux OS as a joystick before?
Thanks in advance,
Jon
