Fortunately the transmitter is able to act as an USB Joystick (see https://github.com/opentx/opentx/wiki/OpenTX-USB-Joystick). ===== Create a new model for the Taranis X9D (Plus) ===== [[ https://wiki.bitcraze.io/misc:hacks:taranispython?#create_a_new_model_for_the_taranis_x9d_plus | Create a new model for the Taranis X9D (Plus) ]] ===== Configure the Crazyflie Android client ===== Here are the necessary steps to configure the Crazyflie Android client: - Turn on the Taranis - Connect the Taranis with a USB cable and a USB host (OTG) adapter to the Android device * The Taranis screen should display a USB symbol when it's connected - Check that all sticks are in center position - Open the Crazyflie Android client - Go to Preferences -> **Controller Settings** and switch Controller to Gamepad - Go to **Gamepad axis and button mapping** and configure the following axes * Right analog X axis should be AXIS_Y * Right analog Y axis should be AXIS_Z * Left analog X axis should be AXIS_RX * Left analog Y axis should be AXIS_X - Depending on the mode you are using on the Taranis (Mode 1 or 2), set the Mode in the Android app * Preferences -> **Flight control settings** -> **Mode** ===== Use the Taranis X9D (Plus) with the Crazyflie Android client ===== - Before connecting to the Crazyflie, check that all axes are working (values should change in the Android app) - **Attention: Always make sure that the thrust stick is all the way down before connecting to the Crazyflie** :!: - Connect to the Crazyflie 2 over BLE * If you have a Crazyflie 1 you need to use a (powered) USB hub to connect both the Taranis RC transmitter and the Crazyradio USB dongle - Fly the Crazyflie with the Taranis and have fun! :-D
