Hi, first of all thank you for this great project, had everything up and going in 2 days. I would like to ask for help from more experienced users regarding the RC input on the ground station. I prepared a tactical case with a 7 inch LCD screen and the ground system. Everything is working including a USB gamepad, the only issue is that the throttle signal gets to the FC inverted and I could not find a way to inverse it in the joystick utility on the PI. I am also a bit short of channels with it since the buttons cannot be programmed to work as channels and it wouldn´t help either since buttons would only do momentarily pressed switches, not suited for landing gear and some relays I run on the copter.
On the other hand I have a Flysky i6 remote, with the 10 channel firmware, which works great on a test VM using ppm2tx and USB soundcard (only 6 channels but still better than 4), got no idea if that would compile and work on the RPi 2 I have as ground. Could you help me to find a way to hook this RC to the groundstation? I saw some Flysky Ibus support but I understand that is only on the air Pi. I do have an arduino nano around so I could mount the ppm project described in the wiki but I cannot find detailed instructions on how to mount it and I am a bit of a tech-dumb.
