It's been different with my Hubsan X4's since it will Auto-bind as soon as I turn on the transmitter which makes it nice and easy.

case 1) if I power off my micro quad and turn it back on, it will automatically bind to my devo 7e instantly without any problem.
case 2) if I power off my devo 7e and turn it back on, I will have to manually re-bind. And YES I also create a shortcut key with DN button to jump there.
case 3) if I power off my devo 7e and want to bind my v252/JD385 w/ ANOTHER devo remote, I need to turn off my micro quad as well.
Seems that the micro quad will remember the last binded remote and stick w/ it until power down.
Hope this helps!

I understand this functionality was already discussed, but was it proposed to use a button+power on combination?
If it was already rejected, then how can I patch or compile a build that uses exit+power to enter bind mode?

Some protocols do auto-binding with a fixed id set, some go to bind mode when the tx is powered on (of course depending on the model selected).
You should be able to select the wanted page as quickpage so you save some clicks.
It should be in general possible to detect a keypress when powering on the same way as it is done for USB mode. Some keys are free...

Just today I struggled to get a friends 202 to bind. Three battery pulls later (and 27 clicks later) I realized his tx was still on. Ugh.
None of my 2xx series auto bind on power on. Nor do they persist bind through tx power offs.

The capabilities of the firmware are amazing! And the quality and control of the Devo 10 is a vast improvement over the RTF stuff that came with my models. But it definitely seems like an oversight to have to go deep into model setup and then watch a countdown every time you want to bind. I presume most people have other models with fixed IDs and whatnot so they don't experience this as much. I have several v2xx models that I rotate between so the motors have a chance to cool. The 1 second procedure of power cycle and up/down throttle on the RTF remotes is their only redeeming quality.
Surely there must be a reasonable approach to dealing with any auto-bind safety concerns. It seems like throttle all the way down is enough, and some sort of quick key combo or moving the Bind option to the main menu.
I realize I am free to fork and make changes myself, but it seems like something of general applicability and appeal.

Something that could be enabled at the model level would be really cool, this would beat the shortcut to model setup.
say throttle down and right - similar with MultiWii arming gesture
This has my vote.

Agree that the throttle max is not a particularly clever gesture... not sure why the RTF units work that way.
Even without any special stick gestures it would be great just to have another shortcut option the same as the current one to model setup, but that navigates directly to "bind" already selected. That makes it a long press to get to the menu, and ENT to confirm binding.
I don't really understand the purpose of the countdown dialog, but there is obviously a reason given the effort put into it. I'm sure my perception is skewed by micro-sized models where the dangers are pretty trivial. Maybe imminent binding is a bigger deal on something huge. Still, 3 seconds seems a long time when you purposefully pushed the button and want the action to take place. For my sole Walkera model it was a 10s countdown, but at least it was a one-shot deal.

This is exactly what happens today, if and only if you don't power cycle the TX. As I always buy two same model, one flies while another is cooling it's less annoying for me.
i.e. if you bind your plane/helo, the bind button will stay selected. When you shortcut to it say LONG+Up (for the model menu) then you only have to press ENT to bind.
But if you cycle trough some models while you flying session, I can see how annoying it can be, to have to shortcut then 7 clicks, then bind.
My concern about the use of shortcut to bind is merely button fatigue, as I fly mostly micros, I fear that sometime soon I'll have to replace the micro-switch, not the time it takes to go to the bind button.
As in my opinion sticks are more resilient than the micro-switches, it would be a nice addition.
If someone don't propose this as an enhancement, I'll do it. We'll then see what PB thinks of it.

I never really thought about the micro switches wearing out... but regardless a stick gesture would be even faster and requiring throttle off would be an added safety bonus. Given that it should be a pretty deliberate gesture, hopefully we can reduce or eliminate the binding countdown timer.
