    Hello my is Zeaan. All the way from South Africa.
    I am building a 2DOF 360 deg simulator for X-plane 10. Looks like im in the right place here. I need help reading the Pitch and roll data from X-plane.
    I Am using an Arduino. I should be able to cover the Arduino coding, feedback and hardware (Although I will appreciate any advice on that as well.)
    I am already reading the values from the serial monitor input (the one from arduino IDE) and turning the servos accordingly and providing feedback that stops the servos again. If I can substitute the serial monitor values with the ones received from X-plane, the simulator should work after only a few tweaks.. I hope...
    Any advice will be appreciated!! :)
