Use Joystick as RC #1247

Description

@mariamagalhaes01

Hi.

I am using a communications system with the drone that does have a separate channel for SBUS. So I want to find a solution that enables me to send my RC commands (from Taranis X9d), without loosing functionalities (such as flaps channel) or increasing latency.

The only solution I found so far, was connecting the RC to the ground station PC (for now, via USB) and creating an app that would read my "joystick" inputs and convert them to RC_CHANNELS_OVERRIDE MAVLink messages. However, I saw here that you highly "dis-commended" it. Can you help me find a different solution?

I do not think that "DO_SET_SERVO" or other commands like this are a good option, because I have a complex VTOL platform with many different types of actuators, some customized.

I really hope someone can help me out :)
