    The joystick control we have in UgCS is implemented trough Data connection and not RC. By Data connection I mean 3DR Radio or WiFi telemetry that is connected to Pixhawk Telemetry port and PC in other end.

    If You would wish to use UgCS with the Saitek X56 and Pixhawk, I may suggest You to use something from this list: https://pixhawk.org/peripherals/radio-modems/start

    Hi Arthür,

    Thanks for you reply.

    Actually, I have connected Rx700 LR +PSU to the Pixhawk RC IN Pins

    The Saitek X56 Joystick is connected to 2 USB ports on my computer

    And the Scherrer Tx700 Pro is not yet connect, but it has 3-PIN DIN Nacked cable

    I wish to to connect The Tx700 Pro to my computer using PPM and JST if possible in order to control the quadcopter from my computer.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I reviewed Your equipment and to give a definite answer, it is necessary to understand how You wish to use the set up.

    If You just wish to use Saitek Joystick X56, connect it to PC and use a UgCS compatible up-link to send information to your quadcopter, this would work well for You.

    If You wish to use the "Saitek Joystick X56 + Scherrer Tx700 Pro + Rx700 LR +PSU" combination, meaning that the Scherrer Long Range Transmitter will send the RC signal to quadcopter, it will most probably not work with UgCS.

    If You would like to receive a more detailed answer, please explain the connection You wish to use (PC, Joystick, UHF Transmitter) in more depth.
