# DJI RC Plus 2: control protocol and gamepad bridge

> A DJI RC Plus 2 investigation reconstructs its control-report protocol and maps the handheld’s sticks, wheels and buttons to gamepad input. The Android library decodes DUML reports, a tester displays live controls, and a Java SDL3 bridge presents them as an Xbox-style controller. Protocol notes give frame layout, checksums, keepalive and report rates.
