Using Gamepad with Autoquad M4???

oh, this was a good idea!
YES, doing as you said and adjusting the trim to get throttle low enough allowed me to ARM, to spool up the motors a bit, and DISARM!!!

however, I won't aim at flying since pitch, roll and yaw are reversed

Wow, cool findings Olli. OK so maybe that's the first real reason I've heard for reversing channels in firmware...

I would have also missed that post edit if Norbert hadn't seen it!

isn't the web a beautifull place ... here is the manual to reverse the channels

I'm up and flying!

(no need to add reverse in AQ anymore )(well, consider it nevertheless LOL)

EDIT: the control experience, especially on throttle isn't as great as with a bigger transmitter, but it's good ... to deal with the throttle sensitivity one probably just would need A/PH LOL

Do you guys think I will have trouble flying the M4 using this USB to PPM converter:


and this TX module:


Thanks!

@ Olli: Great find again! I´ve ordered one of the Eflight MLP4DSM. I´ve seen used ones for 10-15€ off Ebay and new ones for 20€ here: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Blade-Heli-Fernb ... 1423347098

@ Flyer: why so complicated? You´ll need a laptop, a joystick, a converter and a transmitter module. With the solution found by Olli you can have a 6ch Spektrum transmitter at the size of the gamepad (and similar shape) for indoor use.
And you wouldn´t have to play guinea pig to find out if it works or not.
