Input
The controller sends reports to the host (PS2) formed by 4 bytes:
| Byte 1 | Byte 2 | Byte 3 | Byte 4 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0x01 | Reverser+handle | Buttons 1 | Buttons 2 |
The reverser+handle byte combines two values representing the state of the reverser and the power/brake handle. The handle notch is represented sequentially starting from 0x1 (Emergency), brake notches from highest to lowest, N and power notches from lowest to highest.
| Forward | Neutral | Backwards |
|---|---|---|
| 0x2X | 0x0X | 0x1X |
The first button byte uses six bits to represent the state of the physical buttons. 0 means that the button is released and 1 that it is pressed. A bitmask can be used to retrieve the buttons.
| Button 1 | Button 2 | Button 3 | Button 4 | Button 5 | Button 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ATS | Close | A (soft) | A (hard) | B | C |
The second button byte also uses six bits to represent the state of the physical buttons.
| Button 1 | Button 2 | Button 3 | Button 4 | Button 5 | Button 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| START | SELECT | UP | DOWN | LEFT | RIGHT |
