Of course, there’s no driver for my Transmitter or my Operating System.įortunately, the configuration software always displays the current stick positions, so the transmitter seems to be sending this continuously. The most important thing for this to work is a driver so the Operating System can use the Transmitter as a Joystick.

With FPV flying becoming more prevalent, many users started connecting their transmitters to their PCs to use them as Joystick in FPV Simulator software like FPV Freerider, Liftoff or HOTPROPS. There are some alternatives, like TurborixConfig for Mac OS X. To find out which one, open the System Information App, find the USB device corresponding to the dongle and check its name.Ī (pretty crappy) Visual Basic Windows Software is included to configure the transmitter, called T6config or TXsetup. You may need to install the driver for one of these. The packaging includes a USB-Serial adaptor with this connector and a Silicon Labs CP2102 or Prolific PL2303 chipset.

This line of Transmitters also has a PC-Link port in the back (a 4-pin mini-DIN connector), that’s simply a RS232 port (most probably in TTL logic). This means you can replace it with most other modules, as I did with the (discontinued) Fr-Sky DHT. This module only has 4 pins, +5V, GND, PPM Signal and a connection for the bind button. That’s how I found out it’s just a rebranding.

As you can see, in the back is a small transmitter PCB (in green) marked with FlySky.
