WARNING!Drivers Futaba USB Devices

We nor Matrix Orbital shall be held responsible for anything you manageto do to your system whilst following these instructions. Installing theLCD is very simple, but it is also very trivial to violently blowsomething up if you don't pay attention during the installation.

So don't sue us -- we warned you, and stuff.

The LCD requires a 5V power supply and a DB9 connection. I'll leave itup to you to figure out how to get one of your serial ports connectedto the display, but I'll help you out in the power department.

Buy, borrow, or steal a 3.5' floppy drive power cable. You will needthis for powering your display off of your computers powersupply. Below is a diagram of what the floppy drive connector shouldlook like, there are two ways to do it according to what model ofdisplay you bought. The first is the 5-volt model limited to just +5vso the power supply from your computer works really great forthis. The second is the wide voltage models which take +6v -+15v. Again the computer power supply is great for this, but you haveto use the +12v wires because +5v will not work with thesedisplays. Check out the below diagram for a visual reference.

Once you've gotten this connector assembled, connect it to the displayso that the red wire feeds the clearly marked +5V pin and the blackwire feeds the also clearly marked GND (ground) pin. Turn onmachine. Smile as you see the display tell you what BIOS version ithas. Assuming you also connected the serial cable, you can now runLCDproc (see the README) on it.

R/CUSB-Interface for flight simulators

USB

USB-Interface II and USB-Interface III

  • learn and train model flying without the danger of a crash, independent on weather daytime or your flight instructor

  • works with nearly all R/C transmitters (Graupner, Futaba, Multiplex, Hitec, Walkera, ..)

  • works with nearly all R/C receivers (Graupner, Futaba, Multiplex and compatible)

  • runs with most simulators (FMS, Realflight G2, Piccofly, Easyfly, Aerofly, games, ..)

  • no hand-soldered cheap schlock but machine-made goods of quality

  • simple installation, no driver needed

  • axis and buttons are programmable

  • future-proof due to updateable software, programmable with self-made software, SDK available

Overview

USB-Interface II

USB-Interface II with Fu6sq transmitter cord

Technical data USB-Interface II

The RC-USB-Interface has some enhancements compared to the Gameport Interface:

  • It can be used by modern notebooks equipped without gameport.

  • supports USB 1.1, USB 2.0, Hot-Plugging and is powered by USB

  • works with all transmitters: Though easily exchangeable transmitter cords, you can use one USB-Interface for different transmitters

  • Up to 9 RC channels are transmitted to the PC. Consequently, you can also control flaps, retractable landing gear, .. in suited simultators with the R/C transmitter.

  • channel assignment: R/C channel 1 to 7 -> joystick axis 1 to 8, R/C channel 5 to 9 -> button 1 to 8

  • The small tremble of the model rudders (due to many analog-digital convertions:PPMA -> µcontroller AD -> RC-unit DA -> sound card AD -> simulator) is reduced by the completly digital working RC-USB-Interface (PPM A -> µcontroller AD -> USB client D -> USB host D -> simulator).

  • fast and precise digitalization with 256 steps

  • flashing control LED

  • The USB-Interface II is programmable: Assignment of axis and buttons, reaction of buttons can be reprogrammed quickly and easily.

  • since Okt. 2006 updatable firmware: The Interface is prepared to understand future transmission modes of new transmitters. (look for firmware updates in the Forum, e.g. Walkera PCM WK-0701, 3000 steps resolution, ..)

Compatibility

After having installed the HID-driver (HID-driver, Windows included), the USB Interface is instantly ready for operation on Win98 SE, WinME, Win2000, WinXP (instruction manualusb-interface_en.pdf [210kB]), LINUX, Mac OS X (Screenshots osx.pdf [280kB]), .. (in general: all O/S that support HID USB joysticks). It has a 2m cable and works with nearly all R/C transmitters equipped with a buddy box.

The USB Interface works with most R/C simulators that can be controlled by a normal joystick:

  • Aerofly 1.2x
  • Aerofly Pro(with original dongle)
  • Aerofly Pro Deluxe(with original dongle)
  • EasyFly
  • Flanker2.0
  • FMS
  • Microsoft Flight Simulator
  • PicoFly
  • Pre-Flight
  • RC/Helicopter
  • Realflight Deluxe
  • Realflight G2
  • ReVolt (RC-Car-simulation)
  • Big Scale Racing
  • X-Plane (Mac OS X)
  • FlightGear (LINUX)
  • ...
Drivers

It doesn't work with Reflex, Reflex XTR or True-Flight.

Same data like USB-Interface II plus:

  • It can be connected with an R/C receiver. So a transmitter without buddy box or PPM signal can be made suitable for simulators. The USB-Interface supplys the receiver with power. It reads up to 4 R/C channels from the receiver.

  • Transmission up to 4 signals from the receiver

  • All transmitter cords to connect it with a R/C transmitter are usable

USB-Interface III with JR3.5 receiver cord

Technical data RC USB-Interface III

RC USB-Interface II has the following enhancements compared to its predecessor:

  • It can be connected with an R/C receiver. So a transmitter without buddy box or PPM signal can be made suitable for simulators. The USB-Interface supplys the receiver with power. It reads up to 7 R/C channels from the receiver.

  • Optionally, a transmitter cord can be connected with the exchangeable receiver cord. The USB-Interface III is used with the R/C transmitter just like USB-Interface II. The source of the signal is detected automatically.

  • It has a 16 pin connector and its firmware is updatable. So it can be used as generic device for monitoring, sensor measurement, controlling, as USB dongle, migrating applications to USB, PPM analyzer, training, prototyping, ...

  • The Software Development Kit - USB-Interface III SDK is offered for free. It supports the development of new applications. Examples can be found in the Forum, e.g. PPM Generator (controlling a model via PC)
