Walkera WK-0701 transmitter is supplied with a ready to fly Walkera
|
||
|
|
helicopters such as HM36, HM37, HM60. The walkera0701 module enables to use
|
||
|
|
this transmitter as joystick

Connecting to PC:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At back side of transmitter S-video connector can be found. Modulation
|
||
|
|
pulses from processor to HF part can be found at pin 2 of this connector,
|
||
|
|
pin 3 is GND. Between pin 3 and CPU 5k6 resistor can be found. To get
|
||
|
|
modulation pulses to PC, signal pulses must be amplified.

Software:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Build kernel with walkera0701 module. Module walkera0701 need exclusive
|
||
|
|
access to parport, modules like lp must be unloaded before loading
|
||
|
|
walkera0701 module, check dmesg for error messages. Connect TX to PC by
|
||
|
|
cable and run jstest /dev/input/js0 to see values from TX. If no value can
|
||
|
|
be changed by TX "joystick", check output from /proc/interrupts. Value for
|
||
|
|
(usually irq7) parport must increase if TX is on.

Technical details:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Driver use interrupt from parport ACK input bit to measure pulse length
|
||
|
|
using hrtimers.

24 bin+oct values + 1 bin value = 24*4+1 bits = 97 bits
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(Warning, pulses on ACK are inverted by transistor, irq is raised up on sync
|
||
|
|
to bin change or octal value to bin change).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Binary data representations:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One binary and octal value can be grouped to nibble. 24 nibbles + one binary
|
||
|
|
values can be sampled between sync pulses.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Values for first four channels (analog joystick values) can be found in
|
||
|
|
first 10 nibbles. Analog value is represented by one sign bit and 9 bit
|
||
|
|
absolute binary value. (10 bits per channel). Next nibble is checksum for
|
||
|
|
first ten nibbles.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Next nibbles 12 .. 21 represents four channels (not all channels can be
|
||
|
|
directly controlled from TX). Binary representations are the same as in first
|
||
|
|
four channels. In nibbles 22 and 23 is a special magic number. Nibble 24 is
|
||
|
|
checksum for nibbles 12..23.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After last octal value for nibble 24 and next sync pulse one additional
|
||
|
|
binary value can be sampled. This bit and magic number is not used in
|
||
|
|
software driver. Some details about this magic numbers can be found in
|
||
|
|
Walkera_Wk-0701_PCM.pdf.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Checksum calculation:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Summary of octal values in nibbles must be same as octal value in checksum
|
||
|
|
nibble (only first 3 bits are used). Binary value for checksum nibble is
|
||
|
|
calculated by sum of binary values in checked nibbles + sum of octal values
|
||
|
|
in checked nibbles divided by 8. Only bit 0 of this sum is used.
