DJI Mini2 RC as a Joystick

• Connect your DJI Remote Controller to your PC and use it to play simulators
• Currently confirmed working controllers: DJI Mini 2 RC (also known as RC-N1, RCS231, WM161b-RC-N1, RCN1)
• 16/02/2024 - added full support of 4 buttons that are mapped as joystick buttons
• note: this code works on Linux only

• inspired by (actually improved and modified for Mini 2 RC) justin97530/miniDjiController

to run it

• install dependencies (you may need to install them under sudo)
• connect your RC via the bottom type-c USB connector to your laptop
• run "sudo python3 main.py -p /dev/ttyACM0"
• your RC will be set to simulator mode and it will pass stick values to the virtual joystick (/dev/js0)

Tested joystick (buttons that work are marked with arrows):

If you have problems running it on Python 3.11, use this solution offered by jim3692 to run on 3.10.4

• Download Python 3.10.4 by running pyenv install 3.10.4
• Set it as default for this project with pyenv local 3.10.4
• Create a Python Virtual Environment with python -m venv .
• Install the dependencies in the venv with pip install -r requirements.txt
• Then run sudo python main.py -p /dev/ttyACM0 (you may have /dev/ttyACM0 already assigned, so, run ls /dev/ttyACM* to see all the available ttyACMn, where n is int value)

You may need to run "sudo modprobe uinput" in case you have "OSError: [Errno 19] Failed to open the uinput device: No such device" error.
