Hi there,

Couldn’t find related information here (let me know with link below if missed it somewhere)

The question is how I can use RC transmitter (like Futaba/Turnigy/FrSky kind of TXs) to connect to the PC/laptop/tablet using trainer/usb cable and basically replace the gamepad joystick. Is there technical possibility to do it, if so please refer me to known thread here or to guide where and what to change in QGC and/or BlueOS. My setup navboard, and the latest ardusub + blueos.

Thanks
