Configurable Joysticks

Release Version(s)Controller (5.0)Launch DateMay 28th, 2021

Product description

Joystick mappings will now be configurable by users who can select between standard drone modes 1 & 2. This feature along with 'Program Buttons' will now be accessed through the 'Input Mapping' page in the controller settings (screenshots below).

Problems solved

In the drone space there are a few joystick modes that are standard throughout companies/products. The most popular modes are Mode 1 and Mode 2. Currently our controller only has Mode 1 with ascend/descend inverted. This has caused some frustration and longer on-boarding periods for users that have become familiar with some of the more standard joysticks modes, therefore we've added Mode 1 & 2 as options in our controller settings to better accommodate our customers. The controller will still ship with Mode 1 as the default joystick setting.
