In my first video, I showed you how to control an RC car with a racing sim setup using a method that worked... but let’s just say it was a bit... involved. This time, I’ve got two new approaches - cleaner, faster, and way more accessible - so you can get behind the virtual wheel of a real RC vehicle without needing a degree in wizardry. Method 1: We're sending CRSF frames straight to the TX module using a USB-TTL adapter. No Arduino, no soldering - just a Python script, some axis data, and a healthy disregard for the intended use of hardware. Method 2: Still Python-powered, but this one uses an Arduino to generate a proper PPM signal into your TX’s trainer port. It’s a little rough around the edges, but hey, so am I. Also, some friends of mine sent me some actuators I’ll use for the fully immersive experience - because if you’re going to commit to a project, might as well risk whiplash.
