New Feeder App - vJoySerialFeeder

Cool!

I am currently trying to write a generic remapping application in C# called UCR - we already have plugins for most of the normal types of input and output, but I am always interested in ways to support new forms of input, so this provides a solution by using vJoy as a conduit.



I would be interested in maybe exploring the possibility of integrating some of what you have into UCR without using vJoy as a conduit - us having to poll the vJoy stick via DirectInput adds extra latency - we already support outputting to vJoy and other forms of virtual devices (Xbox, playstation, keyboard, mouse etc) so I wonder if we could somehow feed UCR directly?



Looking at the screenshot on your GitHub page, this seems to fit very closely with how UCR works - if we could somehow hit an API and be told that there is Profile "Test" with a 4 axis, 4 button device, and be able to subscribe to or poll it's inputs, then that would be awesome.

Thoughts?

PPM is quite simple. I can sum it up in a few sentences:

1. Very long (need to check, around 100mS) is a sync signal
2. Most PPM receivers don't care if positive or negative sync signal as long as consistent, let's assume positive.
3. Separator pulse- short negative signal (AFAIR: about 0.4mS)
4. Channel 1 positive pulse - 0.5mS to 1.5 corresponding to 0%-100% where 1mS is equivalent to 50% or stick at neutral position
5. Separator pulse
6. Channel 2
7. Separator pulse

and so on up to usually 9 channels.
If you need the exact numbers I will check for you.
