Devo 8S + Phoenix = Not working correctly

Hi there,

another totaly noobie have some questions to this nice transmitter.

So i get a Devo 8S and a little nice MiniCP a few Days ago. After some crashes i decided to train with a Sim first.
I got a USB Cable from a Friend to test if it works.
But it doesn't.
Phoenix recognize my Devo 8S, but with no Setting i tried so far i get a good Setup for flying a Helicopter.
Most of the Time the Chanels are mixed around.
On my Transmitter i put Gas, Pitch, etc. on Channel 1-4 and turn every mixing function off.
Phoenix show my Channel 1 is Pitch, Channel 6 is Gas, and so on. Some channels dont even work.

Do i something terribly wrong, or should i get a new USB-Interface, or is the Deviation Software not working propperly with Phoenix?

Greeting from Germany
(Sorry for my poor english!)

Welcome Patrick,

it seems you have installed deviation - or are you running the stock firmware?
Phoenix is a simulator often used and I have read some threads where it works good.
Take a look at these threads:
devo10 on phoenix
support for phoenix
8s with phoenix

Yeah, im running Deviation firmware.

i tried some of the configs yesterday, but nothing really works for me.
also it seems that every time i start phoenix my channels are back to where i startet, even when i save it as a new transmitter.

i try to make a more detailed post today when i am at home.
Do i miss some settings to do before i connect my trasmitter via PPM?

Patrick, are you using the Phoenix supplied PPM to USB dongle or the USB HID interface (eg a normal USB cable)?

Im using a PPM cable i get from a friend.
Seems that my Setting were crap.

I installed the firmware, i resetted all settings and calibrated the TX in Phoenix and now im fine.
Dont do anything other as the first time, but now it works.

thanks for your help and time. =)
