In an embodiment, a transmit controller capable of automatic configuration is provided. In another embodiment, an auxiliary user interface device for automatically configuring a transmit controller is provided. In another embodiment, an auxiliary user interface device for transmitting operational parameter settings is provided. In another embodiment, an auxiliary user interface device for receiving operational parameter settings is provided. In another embodiment, an auxiliary user interface device for updating an application program of a receiving device is provided.

Multi-function electronic device-enabled transmit controller

A method for determining an output signal is provided. A radio device identifier associated with a second radio device is stored in a first radio device. One or more configuration parameter settings associated with the second radio device are stored in the first radio device. The first radio device identifies the second radio device based on the radio device identifier. In response to identifying the second radio device, the first radio device automatically determines the configuration parameter settings should be used to determine an output signal based on a user input. The first radio device establishes a radio communications link with the second radio device. The first radio device receives the user input. Based on the configuration parameter settings and the user input, the first radio device determines the output signal. The first radio device transmits the output signal to the second radio device through the radio communications link.

Automatic determination of radio control unit configuration parameter settings

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.

Auxiliary user interface for a transmit controller

A method for a radio control transmit controller communicating with exactly one radio control receiver is provided. Two or more identifiers are stored in a radio control transmit controller. Each identifier is an identifier of a radio control transmit controller. The transmit controller receives a link request from a first radio control receiver. The link request includes an identifier of the first receiver. The transmit controller determines if the identifier of the first receiver is in the two or more identifiers. If the identifier of the first receiver is in the two or more identifiers, the transmit controller transmits a link response to the first receiver.
