+pxrc - PhoenixRC Flight Controller Adapter
+=======================================================
+
+:Author: Marcus Folkesson <marcus.folkesson@gmail.com>
+
+This driver let you use your own RC controller plugged into the
+adapter that comes with PhoenixRC or other compatible adapters.
+
+The adapter supports 7 analog channels and 1 digital input switch.
+
+Notes
+=====
+
+Many RC controllers is able to configure which stick goes to which channel.
+This is also configurable in most simulators, so a matching is not necessary.
+
+The driver is generating the following input event for analog channels:
+
++---------+----------------+
+| Channel | Event |
++=========+================+
+| 1 | ABS_X |
++---------+----------------+
+| 2 | ABS_Y |
++---------+----------------+
+| 3 | ABS_RX |
++---------+----------------+
+| 4 | ABS_RY |
++---------+----------------+
+| 5 | ABS_RUDDER |
++---------+----------------+
+| 6 | ABS_THROTTLE |
++---------+----------------+
+| 7 | ABS_MISC |
++---------+----------------+
+
+The digital input switch is generated as an `BTN_A` event.
+
+Manual Testing
+==============
+
+To test this driver's functionality you may use `input-event` which is part of
+the `input layer utilities` suite [1]_.
+
+For example::
+
+ > modprobe pxrc
+ > input-events <devnr>
+
+To print all input events from input `devnr`.
