Time to share a little project I'm working on - it's a "how do you over-engineer this thing" type of project.

Compact 4-channel RC receiver to USB adapter, so you can use your radio gear to drive computer apps. The first software stack provides 2+1 channels (two fully proportional and one digital channel - works with a popular RC sim), but the software is easily updatable (eg: 4 proportional channels for say, a flight sim - this is WIP). It's custom-built from the ground up using dual contemporary microcontrollers with some fancy specs:

• Full speed USB
• USB-C connector for "plug it in either way" fweedom
• 16-bits of data per channel
• better than 0.1uS resolution on all 4 channels
• drag-and-drop software update
• Comfortably processes all 4 channels at better than 500FPS

It can be used to play simulators, but I'm also hoping to use it to capture/record radio inputs "live" for later analysis or maybe even do overlays. Conceptually these things are do-able, but I'm gonna have to up my desktop app programming skills. These later goals also assume I can get out to the track anytime in the near future
