I had to use the Dfuse V2.31 found in the google drive. I had no luck with the deviation upload tool. Once I ran through the calibration, all my sticks, switches, and pots, all register in the channel monitor as expected.
I will be installing a 4-in-1 once it arrives and I'm looking forward to the flexibility of this setup. Thank you all very much for your work.
P.S. The original sale ended but it looks like the price only jumped $10. They're now going for $85 shipped. Still a heck of a deal.

This turned out to be a super deal. I didn't need the receiver that came with the combo and sold it on ebay and netted $37.50. So I have a modded 12e with 4 in 1 module for effectively $77.50. I couldn't purchase a 7e and mod it for that price! I also prefer the larger gimbles with more throw over my 7e. I guess I need more work on my fine motor skills.
I do have one remaining question. There are two momentary switches (look like the trim switches) beside the regular toggle switches at the top of the transmitter. What are the switch names for these? Are they treated as extra trims? Thought they might be useful for flip mode in some of my toy quads.

In the stock fw their primary use was for hover throttle and hover pitch trim.
In deviation you can use them for anything you want, for example for additional (semi-)analogue channel, or as switches, toggles, etc...

Ucdrone aside, the cheapest prices I can find for the Devo 10 and 12E are, respectively, $120 on Banggood and $146 on DX (before you ask: yes, it's almost certain that this is cheaper than the ucdrone package after adding the customs ransom).
Would you say that the 12E is worth the additional $26? I'm going to use it with the Banggood 4-in-1 RF module and DeviationTX to bind to toy-grade quads, various RTF models, and other micro-racer and video-platform builds with FrSky and Flysky receivers.

I can think of a couple uses for two of them (one for gimbal pitch, maybe one for yaw), but I can't come up with reasons why I'd want two more. At least, quadcopter-wise.

I thought if I ever make some complicated models like a crain or loader, or some kind of robot perhaps, then I will find those useful...

I ordered the 12E about a week ago, and today it arrived. My (too many) ebay orders usually take 3-4 weeks to arrive to Sweden, so this was fast!
Retail box (10E/12E) with RX1202 receiver, USB cable, buddy box cable and a CD. Great for $85 + $13 shipping across the atlantic.
One snag, when upgrading to Deviation 5 (nightly deviation-devo10-v5.0.0-f15939a), the dfu upgrade is successful, but when i restart the tx holding ENT nothing happens. No sound, no buzzer and nothing on the LCD. I'm pretty much stuck on this step, so any help is appreciated.
The java uploader tool didn't recognize the tx so I used the dfuse 2.31 tool.
The only thing working right now is starting holding the EXT key which brings me to the update screen.
Anyone been through this?

I figured that it was just a Devo 10 with added knobs, accounted for in the nightlies.
Now everything works!
The 4-in-1 goes in tomorrow.

You need to use the 12E nighly build, Simple 12 is different, that's a color touch screen one...bold78 wrote: How did you get this to work? I am stuck in the same place. I used the devo 12 5.0 files. I can't get the USB logo to come up.
