Good afternoon,
I'm working with the Taranis X9D plus 2019 controller. I want to configure my controller such that 1) radio is disabled and 2) all commands that would normally be transmitted over radio (ex joystick commands) are instead sent over a uart connection.
I'm interested in this because the USB joystick mode (over a micro usb connection) is quite unstable. I'm hoping uart will be more reliable.
I've been playing around with various uart configurations. A standard ground control software on my mac recognizes the incoming connection. However, the ground control software does not recognize the device attached to the connection as a joystick.
What would be useful for me is if someone could validate (or poke holes in) my general approach. I think with the correct model settings and uart configuration, my "uart joystick" should just work. I don't think there are any firmware changes needed -- just tell the model to use the external rf, and hook the external rf up to some cables. Do you agree?
Thanks so much!

UART Joystick Mode
Re: UART Joystick Mode
For the principle of getting data out yes, but your problem is that nothing on the PC side will turn that data into a generic joystick, whatever receives that data would have to be designed to receive the format you set the radio to output.
Re: UART Joystick Mode
I see -- I guess I would need some layer between the controller and QGroundControl, for example? Any ideas on places to start?
Thanks so much for the response!
