Devo F12E as a one for all solution.

Hi there guys!

I have just ordered a Devo F12E transmitter, because I have an Scout x4

But I love more my personal projects than my scout, so I definately need to use the same F12e receiver on my other quads, currently I have a 450 with an APM 2.5 board and a 250 with a naze32 board.

I have been reading a lot today about the mods and PPM PWM and other stuff I did not know anything about hahaha but I have come across to something that to me feels more practical, the A7105 module.

I just want to ask, if I add and solder this module to my Devo F12e TX, I understand it will be compatible with Turnigy, Flysky and FrSky protocols (If I'm wrong please let me know) and with any of this receivers I will be able to use my Naze32 or APM, what concerns me is if it will still be compatible with regular DEVO Rxxxx series receivers.

Any help would be appreciated, even if you have a personal opinion or another solution to my needs it's all welcome.

I just want to use this great TX on all my quads.

Thanks!

Hahahha all this reading and I didn't realize that there is no firmware atm from Deviation for the F12e



Do you guys think that the RX703A wich has PPM will be enough for the APM 2.5 with gps and telemetry? Because it seems that's going to be my only solution atm

Upon further investigation I found out that the rx601 and rx701 can work with my 250 quad and the rx1002 can work with my 450 quad with APM 2.5 as long as I use them both with PWM connections.

Is this right? I don't want to screw it up ordering receivers that I won't need...

Let's see:

The F12E support is in the latest nightly builds. Go to Downloads, nightly builds, and pick the most recent one. Documentation is in the Devo 7E/10 user manual. Both Downloads and the user manual are in the menu to the left. This is a new port, and the last changes were fixing bugs with it. The protocol and mixer code is the same as the Tx's with older support and should be fine.

The A7105 will get you the FlySky protocol. Some, but not all, of the Turnigy radio gear uses FlySky. I don't believe there is support for any of the other protocols Turnigy uses. To get FrSky, you'll need to add a CC2500. Probably want to run the nightly build for that as well.

If you run Deviation, it will not only be compatible with Walkera Devo RXXXX, but also the older protocols use by the WK2XXX transmitters. Not that I've ever used any of those. Adding a module - or two, or four - won't change that.

As for using the Walkera Devo Rx's with your other quads - so long as they are just receivers, and don't have any integrated stabilizers, FBL, etc. that can't be turned off, they should work fine. The one that does PPM should also work in PPM mode. But you might ask on a general RC support forum, or in support forums for Walkera or the flight control boards you're using.

Thank you so much for your response, this really puzzled me out and as much as I searched I didn't seem to find accurate information.

I will try deviation on my F12E when I receive it, I'll let you know

What the documentation does not mention is that you can't use the Walkera DfuSe uploader and the USB mode with the F12E, but only PB's own uploader software...

Reat through this thread for more info:
www.deviationtx.com/forum/3-feedback-que...-deviation-devo-f12e

So what you mean is that there is no turning back?

Ok I have read the whole thread I will keep reading the manuals and other information so I don't mess it up hehehe thanks
