  12 Notes
  13 =====
  14
  15 Many RC controllers is able to configure which stick goes to which channel.
  16 This is also configurable in most simulators, so a matching is not necessary.
  17
  18 The driver is generating the following input event for analog channels:

  23 |     1   |  ABS_X         |
  24 +---------+----------------+
  25 |     2   |  ABS_Y         |

  40 Manual Testing
  41 ==============
  42
  43 To test this driver's functionality you may use `input-event` which is part of
  44 the `input layer utilities` suite [2]_.
  45
  46 For example::
  47
  48     > modprobe pxrc
  49     > input-events <devnr>
  50
  51 To print all input events from input `devnr`.
