Adding one pot through trainer port

Post by papagayo69 »

Hi everybody !!

I was wondering if it's possible to add a pot (just one simple pot), or joystick, through the trainer port at the back of the Taranis ?
The idea is to have one extra "channel" that I can easily unplug or deport a bit further from the taranis...

I've seen discussion on adding a joystick with the usb connection, or adding one through the S3 port, but nothing using the trainer port...

Thanks !!
;)

You would need a PPM encoder that can take whatever your desired inputs are and from them generates the signal the trainer port expects.

Like generating PPM from let's say an arduino, and sending it through trainer port ?
