Quickstart USB-Interface
1. Transmitter settings
Connect your R/C transmitter (in PPM mode, without RF part /
unplugged crystal) with the Interface only if it is switched off!
The R/C Interface is connected with the buddy box. Thus, the
transmitter acts like a slave transmitter. You should set up your
transmitter for slave mode and make any settings necessary for
slave operation. For further information see the instruction
manual of your transmitter(how to switch off the RF part, unplug
the crystal oscillator, special settings, ..).
Detach all servos, motor controllers, devices and the battery
from the R/C receiver and only connect the receiver cord. The
USB-Interface supplies the receiver with power, no battery may
be connected additionally. First connect the receiver with the
USB-Interface, then connect the Interface with your PC.
Use Stick Mode “Stick Mode 1”in IntCon for the operation with
an receiver. The default setting is “RF G2”.
For USB-Interface III:

6. Configure the Interface
7. irmwareUpdate f
1. Plug the Interface into the PC.
2. Start IntCon USB-Interface is listed.
3. Double click the Interface, check "Activate Bootloader".
4. Click “Apply”and close the window.
5. If you unplug the Interface and reconnect it again, a new joystick
named “Loader”is detected. Windows will install new drivers for it. After
a delay of 10 seconds the boot loader disappears and the normal
“RC USB”joystick is back again. The boot loader will always start
directly before the normal joystick after connecting. If you want to switch off the boot loader
(e.g. after a successful firmware update) then uncheck “Activate Bootloader”.
6. Now you can update the firmware with the “Firmware...”button. Connect the Interface, do
“Erase”, then “Program”(and optionally “Verify), then “Reset”.“LED”causes the Interface to
toggle the LED. This is just for communication test purpose.
Software for the Interface is located at
