|
|

|
Notes
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
Many RC controllers is able to configure which stick goes to which channel.
|
|
This is also configurable in most simulators, so a matching is not necessary.
|
|
|
|
The driver is generating the following input event for analog channels:

Manual Testing
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
To test this driver's functionality you may use `input-event` which is part of
|
|
the `input layer utilities` suite [2]_.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
> modprobe pxrc
|
|
> input-events <devnr>
|
|
|
|
To print all input events from input `devnr`.
