It depends on the various hardware involved.

The transmitter deals with joystick. How can we control digitally the potentiometer? How can we interface it with the parallel port? Can you give us idea? I'm not good in circuitry.

Thanks WingedPanther!:pinguin::)

You're going to have to sit down and look at the details of the control you have, how many signals it produces, the ranges of the signals it produces, etc. etc. etc. Then you have to look at the specification of a parallel port, the signals it can accept, etc. etc. etc.

There is no generic answer. It depends on your hardware. Completely.
