mode 1/2 selection problem with Devo 10?

First of all: I got my new Devo10 mode 2 receiver. Feels like a good transmitter. And with the deviation software: also good news! I really love the option to bind different models.
Deviationtx v401 (newest version downlaoded)

But there is an annoying point: my TX is mode 2 (throttle+rudder left).
But when I bind an DSMX receiver (and software assigned as mode 2) it seems that my throttle left will act (and is reported as) elevator, and the right stick (normally the elevator) has become the throttle.

Putting the software in mode 1 instead of mode 2 did solve the problem for my straight-forward programming receiver UMX (with DSMX), but mixes up channel names.
For a simple receiver that is not a big problem, but with a bit more advance programming and mixing this will introduce errors in progrommaning since names are switched.

So you can imagine that I'm not very happy with it - specially when using my helis or delta. This might cause me crash my heli when it starts unexpectedly (since the throttle is at 50%).

So is this a bug, or is there some installation that went wrong?
Somebody might have noticed this or has a solution?

Thanks!

It sounds like a mixup in the mixer. It's probably using the flysky type channel order.

Hi Mike,

thanks for your respons.
As far as I can see there is no flysky selected.

I added the model setup of the UMX protocol and the tx ini file. Can you tell me what is wrong in the setup then?

When TX is setup as "mode 1", the channel will act to the left stick (and that is mode 2)

When TX is setup as "mode 2" I always get the warning that the throttle is 0% (instead of -100%) because it is bind to the right stick, whitch should be elevator.
TX in mode 1
CH1 = throttle
CH3 = elevator

TX in mode 2
CH1 = elevator
CH3 = throttle

The UMX receiver (DMX) needs
CH1: throttle
CH3: elevator

So far it works for this model (via mixer options, that is) but I wouldnt like that specially if I want to use other planes/heli's with more complicated mixer settings...

Sounds like a channel mapping issue like Mike alluded to above.

It's very flexible. And you can arrange the channels any way you want.

So go ahead and put your radio config back to MODE2.



And let's get your channel mapping to reflect what your UMX receiver want.

Here is the channel order for DSMX:

T
A
E
R

The Deviation guys made it really simple. When you create a model. Select DSM2 or DSMX as the protocol.

The mixer will automatically be configured to the channel order for Spektrum.

Then just invert the channels as needed. And set up the curves as needed.

In case it still confusing...try edit two locations in your model3.ini


Look at your channel one mix:

You say you wanted the source to be Throttle. But currently, src is ELE. So simply change it to THR. Here's the corrected code:


Next, apply the same concept to your Channel three:

Change the source from THR to ELE.


Hopefully that makes sense. And more importantly, hopefully it works the way you wanted. LOL

Hi Daryoon,

Thanks for your help! I really apreciate it.

As simple as it might be, I've tried dozens of possibilities, and I think I tried too the suggestion you did. But if I remember well: when restarting the Dev10 I got the error that throttle is at 0 (should be -100).
I must have something wrong, but the fact is: now it works with the changes you mentioned.

I'm not sure, but maybe I was mislead by the definition channel, versus "source" in the mixer menu - what it really means (so source in not the physical input channel).

But for now it is solved

But there is now a new (minor) issue:
With the mode 2 setup, the "buddy box" setup is changed.

Buddyboxing with Dev7 and Devo10 (Devo10 = trainer, 7=student)

With D7/Mode 2 and D10 / mode 1 I had the TEAR you mentioned.

But now (D7/mode 2, D10/mode2) the PPM order has been changed.
Now it is EATR.
Is that normal, that PPM order changes / is different?
