This DIY Modification is for only for those guys who are on FUTABA or Frsky systems with a Frsky CPPM receiver/WTR-7 or who have access to CPPM receivers available in any other systems

I have a wireless simulator from Hobbyking which I have been using for some time now.


It has seven channels. Somehow after using on Aerofly basic seven channels are distributed like this
Channel 1 : Aileron
Channel 2 : elevator
Channel 3 : throttle
Channel 4 : rudder
Channel 5 : Landing gear
Channel 6 : flap
Channel 7 : swamped with remaining all i.e. wheel brake, autorotation, wing sweep, smoke,...........

So you have to live with smoke and wheel brake all coming on and creating confusion.

I needed at least one more channel when used wireless so the quest to make one wireless simulator by modifying the one of the 9 in 1 wired versions.

Now I saw that Frsky receivers had the provision where in it gives out a CPPM in one of the channels by setting it. All it needed was a 5V to operate and the USB 9 in 1 Simulator provides the 5 V to operate by integrating both voila there you have a wireless simulator with 8 Channels of control.

Parts needed

9 in 1 wired simulator dongle.
Frsky CPPM provision receiver or any other receiver which has a provision for CPPM out.
You can use a WTR-7 also as the receiver.
Servo lead male.
 

There you have a wireless simulator dongle with 8 Channels of control. If you can manage a CPPM receiver with more than 8 Channel then your wireless simulator is going to be having that many more control channels. Sadly the receiver which I have has only 8 Channel CPPM.

Anybody aware of any CPPM receivers with more than 8 Channels please post a link.

Just bought one Frsky receiver from Sai RCFORALL which had a 9 Channel CPPM out cool

Now my wireless simulator will be having 9 Channels of control.

+1 Sandy sir. RCBazaar Avionics Rx seems to be using the same concept

Frsky's with CPPM - all except the delta one.

PS: the usb pinout needs corretion. D- and D+ are interchanged

Yes Girish saw that one too. So RCBazzar Tx Rx can also be used as wireless sim and as wireless trainer

sandy

in time ? i guess you did the DIY before the rcgroups guy, though you posted it late..No?yes?

Yes Gusty.  We were duscussing this quite long time back and you also wanted one of my frsky receivers. 

i guess for over 2 years !!

Yes surely

Gaurav was Right Aerofly is not getting more than 8 Channel PPM even with 10 Channel PPM Receiver wherein it should have got a 9 Channel PPM as per documentation. May be I am going wrong some where I am not able to figure out. Here it is drizzling continuous for past two days including sunday. Making good use of the wireless simulators. Now both Param and me can fly both wireless with both our Tx simultaneously.

Posting only my flight video. Nothing great. thanks for watching.

thats great I love diy's.

Nitesh....I love your quote "If there is magic on earth, it is in the air"

thanks actually copied it from an classmate notebook the cover where there is a small article about somethings like water, tigers etc.
it ran like this
"If there is magic on earth
      It is in Water"
edited a little
your quote is also nice sir

  Good to see an earnest student making full use of his books 

I always like to read all those articles in these books as they are very interesting.
going off topic but the amazing facts on the last pages are my favorite now a days they are repeated again and again.
