You can also install all of them using sudo make install. To build the command-line apps and the GUI apps, just run make all. The finished installer will be placed in bin/SerialGamepad.pkg. However, the makefile allows you not only to build the GUI app, but also a distributable Installer including the foohid dependency. Just directly open the XCode project file. You don't need to use the included Makefile if you want to change something in the GUI App. This small utility only reads the channel values from a serial port and pretty-prints them to a POSIX compatible terminal. This small utility does the same thing as the SerialGamepad.app without a graphical user interface.

NOTE: Make sure to keep the SerialGamepad app running and connected when you start your simulator. (See below) If it doesn't connect, make sure that you have your reciever turned on. If everything is working you should see the signals coming from the transmitter via the green bars. (It should be the same one from the section above.) Next, click connect. In the app, select your serial port from the dropdown list. This app allows a compatible transmitter to connect over a serial port and then provide a virtual gamepad using fooHID.

This should be already be done if you install the. Note: You need to make sure to install the virtual userspace IOKit HID driver foohid. Next you'll need to download and install the latest release of the Gamepad Driver ( includes foohid) here on GitHub. To see what adapter is registring with OS X, Apple => About This Mac => System Report => USB. If you don't see something like that displayed, you either have an issue with the driver for your serial adapter (try reinstalling it) or you have a different serial adapter and you'll need to find the drivers for that. You should see something that looks like tty.SLAB_USBtoUART. You can verify that this is working by running the following command in a terminal: #This software has been tested on the following versions of OS X:ĭepending on the USB-Serial cable included with your Transmitter, you may need to install the SiLabs CP210x driver. This can be used to enable Flysky CT6A / CT6B compatible transmitters (Turbobrix, Exceed, Modelcraft) in games or simulators.
