Help with newly upgraded F12E

I am not new to RC or multicopters, but am new to the Devo F12E and modding it. I have successfully installed the 4-in-1 module. I am starting from zero, so all the lingo and buzzwords are hard to follow. My goal is to have a unified controller for other open source builds, like Tarot. My hobby isn't the controller, rather the modding is a goal to use a nice controller for my future projects and not have to use the RX1202 receiver.

I have successfully installed the Deviation 5.0 firmware and file system. The only bird I have that worked with the F12E before the mods was a Rodeo 150. If I undo the Deviation, the 150 works fine under Devo firmware. I was able to config and save a Rodeo profile in the interface.

I am trying to get the Rodeo 150 to work now with the modded controller. The FPV works perfectly, the 150 binds, but otherwise I can't seem to unlock the props or see the 150 operate. I'm not sure I see the Rodeo's RX150 receiver in the compatible list, but think maybe all Walkera models should be compatible with the Devo?

Can someone offer me a direction?

You'll need to set up a model in Deviation, then work with betaflight to match channels with the Arm and flight mode functions. I'm not sure if it applies here, but if you find the range isn't right, look at the betaflight rxrange command (or search this forum).

This thread has a generic approach to the Rodeo XXX quads. And if you search Rodeo 150 there are a couple more threads. Bottom line is getting Betaflight set to your liking, and Deviation just works.
