1. Is the radio seen?
Connect the radio over USB, set it to USB Joystick (HID) and move a stick (Chrome only shows a gamepad after the first input).
2. Auto-detect (wizard)
Press Start, then follow the prompts. Keep other sticks still.
Live axes (raw from Chrome)
Live buttons
EdgeTX channels 9-32 appear as buttons 1-24. A switch set up as a button can be used for ARM.
3. Mapping (saved in this browser)
| Function | Axis | Invert | Centre | Deadband | Live value |

ARM when AUX1 is above (after direction/invert). Mode switch (AUX2): below = Angle, between = Horizon, above = Acro. Stick layout:
4. What the simulator will receive
If Chrome does not see the radio
- The radio must be in USB Joystick (HID) mode: plug in, choose it in the pop-up. Storage and serial modes are not gamepads.
- Press a stick or a switch: Chrome hides gamepads until they send an input.
- Use a data cable (some are charge-only), try another USB port, close other programs that may grab the device (Betaflight Configurator, EdgeTX Companion simulator).
- Windows: open Set up USB game controllers (joy.cpl): the radio should be listed and its bars should move.
- Full steps:
docs/POCKET-SETUP.md. Keyboard fallback (also with a radio connected): W/S throttle, A/D yaw, arrows pitch/roll, E (or Space) arm/disarm, 1/2/3 angle/horizon/acro. Lower throttle to arm. On-screen sticks are also available in the simulator.
