Software program to record transmitter stick movements

[jballone]

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know of any software that I can use to record my transmitter stick movements when practicing flying in my drone flight simulator program?

Thanks,
Joe

Anyone have any suggestions?

Betaflight itself will capture the control input as part of the blackbox logs (gets played back with "black box log viewer") you can also use a FC running betaflight to passthrough the control signals to the computer to act as a wireless USB receiver basically. If you can have both those things happening at once then can achieve what you're looking for, but there might be easier ways to just get the logs captured on OpenTX transmitter onto SD card for a given session and then play that back somehow? (lots of speculation but some ideas)

I'm looking for software to record when I'm practicing using my PC program (lift off) not when flying the drone.

GitHub - betaflight/blackbox-log-viewer: Interactive log viewer for flight logs recorded with blackbox

Interactive log viewer for flight logs recorded with blackbox - betaflight/blackbox-log-viewer

github.com

Alternatively

Telemetry and inputs logging to SD card possible? - openrcforums

How are you expecting to play back the stick motions? you can record with a flight controllers black box and play back with blackbox log viewer, can also pass control through shown in vid on post above. Alternative can just use a "special function" to activate log capture to SD card but need something to "read/playback" that data... anyway hopefully gives ya some directions to explore.

It is certainly possible, because I recently saw a Youtube DJI Mini 2 tutorial showing the playback of the stick position as a little cross in the recorded in-flight video.

My own vid with some black box viewer log data over it.... I didn't say isn't possible I offered two ways to do it but OP doesn't seem to know what they want?

PLEASE READ THE ORIGINAL QUESTION: HOW DO I RECORD STICK MOVEMENTS WHEN PRACTICING ON FLIGHT SIMULATOR PROGRAM ON A PC?

I already know how to pull data from the black box when flying the drone. Everyone keeps making suggestions that are not applicable to my question

You seem to be missing the part that the FC can pass through the signal to a computer to use for Sims?

 

[wafflejock]

FC doing black box logging can capture the data or if want to go direct from transmitter can use a special function to save the telemetry data including sticks to SD logs (on the transmitter then no FC involved)... How you play them back or use that data is the issue then

 

[wafflejock]

On computer side can use a keylogger for capturing input from keyboards I imagine there is some similar kind of joystick input logger could use on that side too but the problem still exists regarding how do you plan to use the data?
