building a USB controller from scrap material

[martinpi]

Writing Python programs on the PC, I'd like to control Tello in a more comfortable way than pressing keys on the keyboard.
I use an Arduino to convert an old controller into a USB controller.

Wired up for the first test:



Communication between controller and PC works:



Next step is sending these commands to Tello.

Well, I don't think that this is very interesting. Tello flies like with any other controller.

I built a version using the ppm signal from an old RC transmitter.

The Arduino code is here.
And a description in German here

sorry i asked to see a video of you controlling it.

A man steering a model with an RC transmitter that is connected to a PC. If you find that interesting....
