Question regarding the Walkera Devo 8s

No luck so far?

Here's a complete config for a devo8.... Complete meaning the entire config, not that the elevator or throttle or anything else is done. Just channel 2 and 6.

I might be getting an 8s by the end of the month. It will be nice to have a back up for my 12s

Can someone tell me where to find the all telling sticker that shows what version the 8s is? (1.0A / 1.0B)

Or does it show the version in the start up screen or somewhere in the software?

I asked the guy who im buying the 8s from to look for it but he says its not there. I looked in my 12s battery compartment and dont see any stickers showing the version. Is there someway to find it in the software?

Thanks V

Hex,

Sorry for the long delay in replying to you. Had a death in the family.

Anyway, I installed the nightly builds v3.0 and your settings worked beautifully. Just some minor adjustments were necessary to tailor it to my little gliders so thanks a million

I wish, though, there were more info available or perhaps a more comprehensive manual on how to use Deviation with planes,...but all that may come perhaps in the future.

Once I figured it all out I hope to contribute a bit more to those who use the Devos to fly planes...and that's not a disrespect to all you Heli flyers

Thanks again.

My entry in the world of planes started - just received my E-flight Apprentice 15e. It comes with a DX5e (non programmable) and the first task would be to set Deviation up in a buddy box configuration.

Hopefully we'll soon get more plane related models and discussions on the forum.

Totally agree.

It would be fantastic to get a bit more info on airplane model set-ups, programming and plane-specific features on this forum even though most guys fly Helis with the Txs.

I hope to contribute once I'm a bit more fluent with Deviation but it may take some time...

I can't find this screen on my 3.0 nightly...the Main config screen.

When I hit the page forward button in the Trims screen it goes directly to the Data Log screen.

Check the video... what I am talking about starts at 6:10.

Found it.

Thanks, guys.

This might be another already covered question but since I couldn't find anything in the manual or in my TX while scrolling through

I'm wondering if the scanner feature is still implemented in v3.0.0?

I think it is a helpful feature...

Actually the code is disabled - I don't know why (a matter of size? Not for Devo8/12). But the code is still present and could be enabled easily. Maybe it was enabled because it was not longer working as a result of side effects and nobody reworked it...
Is there really a need for this? I never used it and I don't know how accurate it will work (well, it should because the used frequencies are determined this way...).

RBE2012,

Thanks for the clarification. I'd like to enable the code since I think it might be a helpful feature but if it interferes with other functions/features of the FW or Tx than maybe not.

How can I enable it myself, if you don't mind me asking?

You just have to comment out the

//#define ENABLE_SCANNER 1

in the src/target/devo12( or devo8 )/target_defs.h file

And then compile your new firmware.

I know my way around computers but I have no idea what you just said!

What I meant to say in my previous post is where do I find the file and how do I go about it? I'm not a programmer, unfortunately.

Also, are there any reported bugs with using the scanner feature? Any help would very much appreciated.
