Note This module is already included in Linux kernel 6.10 (and possibly later).
Linux kernel module for WinWing Orion2 throttle base with the following grip handles:
- TGRIP-18
- TGRIP-16EX
On the Orion 2 throttle, numbers 0 .. 63 are reserved for buttons on the throttle grip; the throttle base buttons have numbers 64 .. 110. Some of the throttle base buttons don't work with Linux because the kernel HID subsystem only supports up to 80 buttons.
This kernel module remaps throttle base buttons to numbers 32 .. 78, reserving only numbers 0 .. 31 for buttons on the throttle grip. Other grip handles do have more than 32 codes (every position of a switch has its own button code).
Install the header files for currently running kernel. This command is for Debian-based systems (e.g. Ubuntu, Mint):
sudo apt install linux-headers-`uname -r`
The following command builds the winwing module for currently running kernel.
make
The following command copies new module into the module directory of currently running kernel and updates module dependencies.
