Hi Kurtis,

Let me know where in my instructions you've gotten stuck and I'll work with you to get the instructions beefed up so doing this becomes more straight forward : address@hidden

Hi everyone.

I would like to be able to control the camera pan/tilt servos using a
joystick at the GCS.
After some searching, I didn't find much that I could understand or use. I
was able to use some of the information posted by Paul Cox, (
http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/Paul_Cox_Notes#Using_a_joystick_to_control_twog_servo),
but it was of limited use.

I was able to read in the values from the joystick, but that's about it. I
do not need to control the UAV using the joystick, just the camera pan/tilt.

I suppose I could cheat and just use another separate RC receiver and
transmitter, where the pan/tilt servos are connected to their own Rx and
controlled by the camera operator using a separate transmitter, but it just
isn't very "elegant"...

It seems like several people have asked about joystick control and have made
attempts at it, but there's not much information available on the subject.
Any advice is appreciated.
