0007 This driver let you use your own RC controller plugged into the
0008 adapter that comes with PhoenixRC [1]_ or other compatible adapters.
0009
0010 The adapter supports 7 analog channels and 1 digital input switch.

0012 Notes
0013 =====
0014
0015 Many RC controllers is able to configure which stick goes to which channel.
0016 This is also configurable in most simulators, so a matching is not necessary.
0017
0018 The driver is generating the following input event for analog channels:
0019
0020 +---------+----------------+
0021 | Channel | Event |
0022 +=========+================+
0023 | 1 | ABS_X |
0024 +---------+----------------+
0025 | 2 | ABS_Y |
0026 +---------+----------------+
0027 | 3 | ABS_RX |
0028 +---------+----------------+
0029 | 4 | ABS_RY |
0030 +---------+----------------+
0031 | 5 | ABS_RUDDER |
0032 +---------+----------------+
0033 | 6 | ABS_THROTTLE |
0034 +---------+----------------+
0035 | 7 | ABS_MISC |
0036 +---------+----------------+
0037
0038 The digital input switch is generated as an `BTN_A` event.

0040 Manual Testing
0041 ==============
0042
0043 To test this driver's functionality you may use `input-event` which is part of
0044 the `input layer utilities` suite [2]_.
0045
0046 For example::
0047
0048 > modprobe pxrc
0049 > input-events <devnr>
0050
0051 To print all input events from input `devnr`.
