Make RC (Radio controlled) Remote Control presentable as Joystick in Linux without any additional cables. Since we know that servos operate on PWM, I have decided that cheapest way (and easiest) to fly a RC model simulator is to translate PWM from receiver to Joystick data on computer. Mbed board was doing the translation. No need for any special cable and no dependency on RC Transmitter or Receiver whatsoever. If it can move the servos it can also move the model in computer simulator. Requirements and design are available on https://os.mbed.com/users/Letme/notebook/rc-receiver-as-joystick/
