Auxiliary user interface for a transmit controller
First Claim
1. A transmit controller compatible with an auxiliary user interface device, the transmit controller comprising:
- a memory comprising a plurality of operational parameters;
a control user interface for controlling a model vehicle;
an auxiliary user interface connector for connecting to the auxiliary user interface device; and
a transmit controller processor configured to;
receive a read command from the auxiliary user interface device, the read command instructing the transmit controller processor to provide to the auxiliary user interface device the value of a particular operational parameter in the memory;
in response to the write command, transmit the particular operational parameter to the auxiliary user interface device;
receive a write command from the auxiliary user interface device, the write command instructing the transmit controller processor to modify the value of the particular operational parameter in the memory;
in response to the write command, modify the value of the particular operational parameter in the memory;
receive a control instruction from the control user interface;
determine an output signal based on the control instruction and at least one of the plurality of operational parameters; and
transmit the output signal to the model vehicle.

Abstract
In an embodiment, a transmit controller compatible with an auxiliary user interface device is provided. The transmit controller has a memory with operational parameters, a control user interface, an auxiliary user interface connector, and a transmit controller processor. The transmit controller processor is configured to transmit the operational parameters to the auxiliary user interface device and modify the operational parameters in accordance with a parameter instruction from the auxiliary user interface device. The transmit controller processor is further configured to receive a control instruction from the control user interface, determine an output signal based on the control instruction and the one or more operational parameters, and transmit the output signal to the model vehicle.
