This is a port of Flytrons USB2PPM Project Compufly with enhancements 

You can use multiple usb sources and map any axis and button to any channel of your choice. 

You can also map multiple buttons to the same channel and adjust the ppm value to them for a 3 way switch with 3 buttons type set up

Everything is kind of setup for my CH Products set up with joystick throttle and rudder at the moment.

Yes, thanks for the links again, this is exactly what I need. But I am interested in how to do the same by myself.

Have you made any new progress on this project lately?

Comment by Ryan C Smith on November 17, 2011 at 11:21pm

@Danstah I have not updated it yet. I have been really busy with work. Have you tested the current version? Anything you would like to change?

No one has left me any feedback so I assume the only issues are the ones I have listed.

I would like to add a function in to use the trim sliders on my joystick. I guess you would have to couple the trim slider to each axis. Also i was having issues getting my mode switch and my y axis to work on my Logitech G940 system. They are not recognized by the program

Dear all,
Fristly, thank’s from France for your work with JoystickToPPM.
I use CompuFly software version 1.35 and JoystickToPPM
But there is a problem :
CompuFly software is limited to 7 chanels
JoystickToPPM software don’t manage the POV button on top of joystick as CompuFly software (JoystickToPPM reset the position of the camera when we release POV button – CompuFly don’t reset camera position)
It’s the reason why I need, if it’s possible, an evolution of JoystickToPPM, to don’t reset the camera position when I release POV button.
Does it possible ? I ask to a friend (good guy in Java) to do this, but it seem that there is no all sources, and java component in the zip file downloaded. http://code.google.com/p/joystick-to-ppm/
Could you help me.
Thank’s and best regards.

Whats new with this project. Eagerly waiting an update! Have you finished fully porting this to java?

Comment by John on December 12, 2012 at 3:15am

Any chance this could be ported to be accessible in a webpage to control a TX connected to a remote PC?

Thanks
