2.4G USB Aeromodelling FMS Simulator is An essential entry cable combinations. It can work for windows 7 and XP systems. This simulator cable can work with unencrypted simulation software only. The resolution is 1024, the input is a USB input. Note: FMS software is not compatible with Windows 10. It can be connected with an R/C receiver. So a transmitter without buddy box or PPM signal can be made suitable for simulators. The USB-Interface supplys the receiver with power. It reads up to 4 R/C channels from the receiver. Transmission up to 4 signals from the receiver. All transmitter cords to connect it with a R/C transmitter are usable.
PPM2USB is a simple circuit which decodes a PPM-Signal from a R/C (Radio Control) transmitter and emulates a USB-Joystick.
The USB side of the adapter behaves like a standard USB joystick (HID-Device).Therefore you don't need a driver for Windows or Linux (tested with Windows XP, Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10).In Mac OS it should work well too, but this is not yet tested.The adapter is ideal for use with a model aircraft simulator on the PC.
PPM
Most R/C remote controls provides a so-called PPM-signal.It consists of a pulse train with about 0.4 ms long pulses.The time interval tn between the pulses corresponds to the stick-positionof each channel. A time of 1.5 ms corresponds to the center position,1ms is the minimum and 2ms is the maximum position.A pulse train consists of n+1 pulses - for 5 channels thus 6 pulses. The pulse train is repeated every 20ms (50Hz).

On my R/C transmitter, the PPM signal can be found at the trainer port.The pinout of the 4-pin. Mini-DIN connector is shown in Bild 3.

Hardware
Bild 4: The schematics of the PPM2USB adapter
The circuit is quite simple and can be build on a breadboard or on a perfboard.The resistors and Zenerdiodes provide the USB-required voltage levels.The PPM signal is connected directly to the ICP-pin of the ATmega8.This works with signal levels from 1.5-5V.For the right timing an external 12MHz crystal is used.
Note: The ISP circuitry for programming the controllerwas left in the schematic way.

It is also possible to modify an USBASP-Dongle: USBASP to PPM2USB-Modification.
Software
The software was developed with the AVR-GCC tool chain and consists of three parts:
PPM decoder
The PPM decoder is completely interrupt driven.To measure the time, a 16 bit timer is used which is directly connected to the CPU clock (12MHz).
USB stack
Usb Flight Simulator Cable Driver
The ATmega8 has actually no USB interface. However, it is possible to implement such in software.For this purpose the free USB stack called V-USB is used.
Main program
In the main program V-USB is initialized. Then the controller goes into ainfinite loop and transfers new joystick positions to the PC. It will only transfer data when the stick positionshave changed. This is indicated by brief flashes of the LED.

- The included hex file is compiled for a ATMega8. The source code can be easily adapted to other AVRs (if they are supported by V-USB).
- For programming, the described programming cable can be used.
- Fuses: external crystal (lfuse: 0xEF, hfuse: 0xC9)

The issue with the OpenTX Radios not working as Joystick controller while connected via USB
One of the recent Windows 10 updates (the KB4515384 one to be precise) affected the drivers of USB devices and particularly Radios, running OpenTX, stopped woking with flight simulators. Some radio remote controllers may no longer be recognized correctly as HID device (Joystick). Those affected remotes can be FrSkyTaranis X9D, Taranis Q X7, X-Lite, X9 Lite, Jumper T12, T16 and others. This issue is still existing as I myself just ran into this problem after I reinstalled my notebook PC.
The symptoms of this issue are:
- No Joystick device seen in “Set Up USB Game Controllers” window (Start -> Search -> enter “Set Up USB Game Controllers”) when Radio plugged into PC.
- Device Manager shows plugged in Radio as “BETTER_USB_HS” device (sounds ironic, doesn’t it?)
How to fix the Windows 10 driver to make OpenTX radios work in the simulators
To get your remote controller working again, you should do the following steps:
Open Device manager (Start – > Search “Device Manager”)
Right click on the “BETTER_USB_HS“device, that is in the libusb-win32 devices group select the “Properties“.
In the “Driver” tab click “Update driver” button.
Select “Browse my computer for driver software”.
Then “Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer”.
Then select the “USB Input Device” instead of the “BETTER_USB_HS“.
Driver information should change into this:
![Usb simulator cable drivers download Usb simulator cable drivers download](/uploads/1/1/7/6/117652724/627372308.jpg)
Thats it! You have fixed the USB driver issue. Now when the radio, running OpenTX, will be plugged to the PC, you should see it as USB Input Device in the Device Manager:

Also “FrSky Taranis Joystick” device should be seen in the Game Controllers list in the “Set up USB Game Controllers” window.
