I made myself a little piece of hardware that turns my Spektrum TX into a USB joystick.
I didn't make schematics or anything but I'd be happy to walk anyone through it if you're interested.

Re: Full power burns parts :(
Do you have your hover code somewhere we could look at?

Re: External sensors
I read somewhere that the Crazyradio can do 125 channels of data. I'd like to use one or more of them to send back more telemetry from other things that I add.

External sensors
Is it possible to attach additional sensors to the Crazyflie and then have their readings sent over additional channels of the Crazyradio? Anyone have some links I can check out to point me in the right direction?

Re: Flying with a Spectrum DX6i and a Wailly PPM USB adapter
I used this cable to hook my DX6i via the trainer port to USB. I'm running crazyflie-pc-client on a Mac and the PPM USB adapter works great with the config I linked above.
