Good luck man.That's pretty hardcore stuff!!!!

I think I can help you. I have used an arduiono pro mini to read the ppm signal and pass through channels 1-4 and change channel 6 to channel 5 and add my own additional channels. The additional channels can come in from the serial port or what ever. The core of the code all runs off interrupts, there is no timing loop, it responds only to ppm input. It could easily be adapted for any Tx stick movement or a head mounted imu. I used tho DIY Ardu imu v2, and they are coming out with a v3 soon. I plan in hacking my new Hitec soon to add my own channels to my 6 ch.

Basically, any way you can get data into the arduino can be added to, or replace parts off the ppm stream.

I put a lot of time into this to get it working 100% reliably and would be happy to help you.

Great idea and I truly wish you both the very best of luck. Also my compliments to Greg for offering his help.

This could be the start of something big!

Clinton-

 

I have an extra APM and Oilpan, the whole unit including GPS and Magnetometer. The only problem with it is that the tiny usb connector broke off the oilcan.

 

I'd like to donate this kit to you to support your project as well as support you in building a better set of hands ;)

 

Get in touch with me and I'll send this stuff to you free of charge man.  ezmobius  __at__ gmail __dot__ com

 

No joke

 

Cheers

Ezra

Ezra, If you want to forward it on to me to be fixed here in South Africa, I'll gladly do it and send it over to

Clinton also free of charge. It could be the first APM and Oilpan to completely circumnavigate the world!

Thank you for all your support and comments.

As the person typing this on behalf I would also like to thank you all for your support and am quite humbled by the generosity you show to someone who lives miles away that you have never met thank you.
