Flying a RACING Drone with a NES CONTROLLER



Drone pilots normally fly with big fancy radios with dual analog sticks and fancy switches. But what if we took a step back… and tried to fly a drone with a 35-year-old game controller?

  1. Controller suggestions in no particular order:
    – Power glove
    – Guitar hero controller
    – Steering wheel + pedals
    – Bop It
    – Wii controller
    – Calculator
    – TV remote
    – Head tracker in goggle
    – Monitor instead of goggle + eyetracker

  2. Guys quads aside – I’m kind of a hybrid pc FPS gamer.
    Hear me out a sec.
    Mode 2:
    Pitch & Roll on a mouse
    Throttle & Yaw on an Xbox (left) thumb stick ?

  3. Glad you guys are having fun and fun video to just watch while doing something else but if you want my whole attention, then do quad and FPV videos rather then fun experimentations.

  4. Mouse and Keyboard would be amusing! Check out how the Battlefield helicopters fly for reference. I bet you could actually fly pretty darn well, but it would be hard to set up.

  5. What I would have done was made the A button be at a throttle position that would sustain forward flight. Then the B button would be a "boost" button which would be full throttle. SNES controller would be better. Not sure if you'd be able to do it but I would configure it in quazi acro. Basically acro in roll but not pitch. Use the Shoulder buttons for roll left and right, with full 360 degree movement, but have forward and backward on the D-Pad be pitch to a certain angle as it would in angle. Then you could use the 4 buttons (A, B X, Y) for different throttle outputs (hover, forward flight, full throttle and gradual descend)
