Installation / Usage
For a thorough guide on how to get started, see this blog post: Using a Phantom 2 DJI Controller in AirSim
UPDATE: Slaterbbx has added more features to this, you should also check out his fork of this here: https://github.com/slaterbbx/mDjiController
In order for it to work, the original drivers from DJI must be installed, and something called vJoy.
Download mDjiController.zip from above ( https://github.com/Matsemann/mDjiController/blob/master/mDjiController.zip?raw=true )
Download DJI WIN Driver Installer from here: http://www.dji.com/product/phantom-2/download
Download vJoy from here: http://vjoystick.sourceforge.net/site/index.php/download-a-install/72-download
Install both.
Then connect your RC to your computer via USB and turn it on.
Run mDjiController.exe, and select the correct COM port. By default you should try writing '3'.
For vJoy, write 1 unless you use vJoy already and have different configurations.
Then open a simulator and calibrate the controller.

How does it work?
It is possible to ask the controller for its status when it's connected. So this program continuouslyreads the status. It connects through COM. The output from the controller is just a list of numbers,but sampling many enough such lists it's easy to see a pattern for which number means what. The biggest issuewas that the numbers are little endian encoded and uses two's complement, so it took some time to understand howeach number behaved.
vJoy is a virtual joystick that can be installed on your computer. Windows think it's a normal joystick. mDjiControllertakes the stick positions from the controller and tells Windows that this virtual joystick has the same positions.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Dji Phantom 3 Professional
If something doesn't work, make sure you have enabled logging, it may tell you the error.
COM can't connectTry with other numbers instead of 3. Open up device-manager.You should see a category named 'Ports (COM & LPT) and then a device named 'DJI USB Virtual COM (COMX)'The X should be the number you should use.If there is nothing there, the driver from DJI is not installed correctly.
If you have any of the DJI Assistant Software installed, make sure they are not running, as this programcannot connect then.
vJoy can't connectThe error message should tell you if it's installed or not. Install the vJoy driver if it's not there.
Not all sticks or buttons workIf they look correct in the log:Your vJoy configuration may be wrong. Open 'Configure vJoy' and reset configuration 1, or make a new oneand tell mDjiController.exe to use that configuration.If they are NOT correct in the log:Your controller sends in a different format, so you need to figure that out, edit the code and recompile.(A bit advanced)
