Radio setup
FPV radio controller setup for browser practice.
A real radio makes simulator practice feel useful. The browser just needs to see it as a joystick or gamepad.
Setup checklist
- Use desktop Chrome or Edge.
- Connect your radio with a data-capable USB cable.
- Choose USB joystick, HID joystick, gamepad, or simulator mode on the radio.
- Open acroFPV and move a stick or switch once.
- Run the controller wizard.
- Map throttle, roll, pitch, and yaw slowly and deliberately.
Classic vs advanced joystick mode
EdgeTX radios can expose joystick-style output over USB. Classic mode sends configured output channels in order, while advanced joystick setups can expose different interface modes and channel behavior. For acroFPV, the practical goal is simple: the browser needs stable axes for throttle, roll, pitch, and yaw.
Common mapping mistakes
Throttle reversed
If low throttle reads high, redo the wizard and watch the requested direction carefully.
Roll and yaw swapped
Move only the requested stick axis during capture. Extra movement can make the wrong channel look strongest.
No input detected
Try another cable, another USB port, and reload the page after connecting the radio.
Jitter near center
Keep the sticks still during center capture. If needed, recalibrate after the radio has been connected for a few seconds.
Practice after setup
After calibration, do not immediately chase tricks. Fly a slow line and make sure throttle, roll, pitch, and yaw all feel predictable. Good setup is boring because nothing surprising happens.
