    FAQ

    • Hi i am building a quadcopter for which i am using APM 2.6 as the flight controller. I just wanted to ask if i can use this gamepad with 2 xbee pro modules. One on the transmitter side(inside the gamepad) and one on the receiver side (to the flight controller) will it work? Please i need a fast reply

      Hi, it depends your communication method. for example, you want to use bluetooth, then you will need two bluetooth bee, one in the gamepad; one on your car. This is just example, wifi; zigbee, RF are all OK. Since it is using Serial communication. the code could be very easy. (It also could be very difficult), you could search some Arduino serial example on the net.

    • The joystick board does not respond and transmit properly. I have validated the XBee on another system and communication is no problem. I have also validated the code is working as expected.

      1. The sample code is used to test the gamepad on your computer by a USB cable, but not to communicate wirelessly by Xbee, Bluetooth module, etc. If you want to use the code for the later purpose or write your own code, please change all serial.xxx() to serial1.xxx() since the board (leonardo) use its serial1 instead of serial to communicate with the wireless modules.

      2. Please check if you have inserted the wireless module onto the Xbee socket inversely
