How it works
The rcjoy is intended to be a drop in replacement of a wireless gamepad like xbox controller or Logitech F710.
The transmitter mcu (Teensy 4.0) acts as an usb host reading data from PS4 controller connected by wire, converts them to packets and send them via SBUS to tx module (ImmersionRC Ghost lite).
The receiverer mcu (RP2040) acts as usb hid joystick emulator, reads SBUS packets decodes them and mimic gamepad controller connected to robot's PC.
At this moment is communication one directional.

Questions
How big is the Ghost lite tx PCB?
It measures 30 × 62.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Ghost lite tx use?
9 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Ghost lite tx KiCad files?
From the ctu-vras/rcjoy repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hw/ghost_lite_tx/ghost_lite_tx.kicad_pcb and its schematic hw/ghost_lite_tx/ghost_lite_tx.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Ghost lite tx design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the BSD-3-Clause licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
