  Project to Control and interact with a MikroKopter. 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 - so i will prefer it for flying.

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