Operate a Camera Gimbal via USB Joystick

Posted by UAS_Pilot on March 19, 2012 at 10:55am

I want to be able to us my USB Joystick as a Gimbal controller. 

Plan:

Use a Logitech USB joystick connected to my GSC Computer. Use the Mission planner to program it to move the pan and tilt of the gimbal via my xBee Pro telemetry link. I do not want to have the control of my camera linked to my R/C transmitter at all. The R/C transmitter is only for flying the plan only. 

How would one do this. I plan to utilize servo out put 5-6 for the pan and tilt.

Any insight in how to do this would be great. 

Thanks
