Input

The controller sends reports to the host (PS2) formed by 4 bytes:

Byte 1Byte 2Byte 3Byte 4
0x01Reverser+handleButtons 1Buttons 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.

ForwardNeutralBackwards
0x2X0x0X0x1X

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.

The second button byte also uses six bits to represent the state of the physical buttons.

The controller supports receiving data via a control transfer to turn on/off the lamps. The setup packet is as follows:

bmRequestTypebRequestwValuewIndexwLength
0x400x50Lamp data0x00000x0000

Changing wValue controls the lamps with the logic below.

  • Door lamp: 0x0X is Off, 0x1X is On.
  • Signal lamp: 0xX0 is Off, 0xX1 is ATS, 0xX2 is 45, 0xX3 is 15.
