# Arduino SBUS Controller
This Arduino-Sketch lets you connect your SBUS compatible radio wirelessly as controller to your pc.
You just need a SBUS receiver and connect it to your Arduino and you're ready.
## Hardware Setup
1. **Uninvert the SBUS Signal *(FrSky only)***
To uninvert your SBUS Signal have a look at [this post from Oscar Liang](https://oscarliang.com/uninverted-sbus-smart-port-frsky-receivers/) where he shows an wich pads you can get an uninderted Signal, so you dont have to use an inverter.
1. **Connect your receiver to your arduino according to this table**
| Receiver | Arduino |
| --- | --- |
| Uninverted SBUS | RX |
| 5V | RAW / 5V|
| GND | GND |
## Software Setup
### Prerequisites
Befor you can compile this sketch you need to download the following libraries and place them in Arduino libraries folder.
* [FUTABA_SBUS](https://github.com/mikeshub/FUTABA_SBUS)
* [ArduinoJoystickLibrary](https://github.com/MHeironimus/ArduinoJoystickLibrary)
On **Linux** this folder is by deafult `$HOME/Arduino/libraries`
On **Windows** this folder is by default `%userprofile%\Documents\Arduino\libraries`
### Installation
Just upload the `sbuscontroller.ino` file to your Arduino and your good to go.
## Compatibility
### Only ATmega32U4 based arduinos (like the [arduino micro](https://store.arduino.cc/arduino-micro)) are supported, since they can be recognized as HID.
This should work on any OS with USB-Support and with any (uninverted) SBUS receiver but this is what it's tested with.
| Arduino | Receiver | Operating System |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Pro Micro | X4R-SB | Linux |
| | | Windows 10 |
If you use this on any other platform please report back, so I can add it to this list.
## Limitations
Currently there are only the first 7 channels that get mapped as controller. Channel 1-6 get mapped as analog and channel 7 as digital button.
