Preface

  • RIDDIM is an acronym for Remote Interactive Digital Drone Interface Mashup and a Project to Pilot the MikroKopter with Joysticks. The main Focus on startup i s the usage of one X-52 Joystick in combination with one Router. The X-52 has th e possibility to Display some something on the Joystick and has lots of Axis and Buttons.

  • In later Stages this Project should be combined with my other Project [:en/DUBwise:DUBWise]
