Jumper T8SG - First TX stock running on Deviation

Dear Banggod,

A little input from me, if I may...

I am a Deviation/Devo10 user since 2013. It has 2 modules installed. This is my first transmitter and my complete fleet (15 planes, big ones and 5 t-rex helis) are bound to that Tx.
I am completely satisfied with this, never had a signal loss and I could program whatever I wanted so far (sometimes with some help, thanks again Deviation guys )

Also, I am a frequent BG customer with 300+ orders.

Now, My son is 10 and I am looking for a transmitter fitting his smaller hands and having a cheap price tag. Now that I found this Jumper Tx with Deviation, I could not be happier.

So my input is:
- It should be great as it is, just add quality gimbals. Hall effect is nice, but standard, bearing assisted, like in the Walkera units, are quite OK too.
- Oled, colour, touch... yes, nice. The current b/w display is fine too, as said before, Devo 7e and 10 are the highest sellers.
- USB should be out, saving data, etc... is normal with Deviation.
- Keep the price down. This will be a hit if the price is low.
- Hall effect, colour: make a second version with higher price tag, that will sell too, but that should have EVERYTHING
- current Banggood stock (if you have any): sell it at a low price <50USD, Deviation community likes hardware hacking and fixing, it will be sold.
- keep all info posted here, I will be one of the first customers with the updated gimbals

Regards,
bm

4-in-1 module alone cost more than $30. Would you able to make such a cheap below $50 mark TX without compromised much more quality?

If they would fix the gimbal and maintain the same price or slightly more, this would already be the perfect compact TX.

Yes and really make it charge via usb 5V, preferred 18650 but a lipo could be ok too.
Any device is being charged by 5V usb nowadays and all chips run 3V3.........

Misunderstood me mate, I was talking about the current stock - with the current gimbals, the Tx version 1.0 items.
It will sell quick if there are any left, just lower the price. People here are ready to go dirty hands on transmitters
If price tag can stay like this with better gimbal, it is a winner.

more reviewers have their hands on the first issued ones

Does the T8SG have an AA battery case?

I have not received a T8SG AA battery case a few days ago? I asked Geek Baiing to tell me to send you a photo.

Hi guys, I'm new to the deviation forum. Just got my t8sg last week but it came with some problems. The screen fell off and scratched the screen cover. After fixing the screen, I power the tx with a walkera 2200mah (battery fits perfectly in the battery bay), i get a huge USB logo. Bumping around the forum, I've found guides and files to restore the tx to working conditions. Just one question, in the hardware.ini file, am I suppose to uncomment multimod or leave it as it is? Many thanks!

There is no AA battery case for T8SG, it's designed to use 2S 7.4V lipo battery.

Just leave it as it is.


; there is no need to enable the cyrf6936 module unless
; it is wired to an alternate port. It is Enabled automatically otherwise
enable-cyrf6936 = B12
has_pa-cyrf6936 = 1
enable-a7105 = A13
has_pa-a7105 = 1
enable-cc2500 = A14
has_pa-cc2500 = 1
enable-nrf24l01 = A15
has_pa-nrf24l01 = 1
; enable-multimod = A13

All T8SG sample TXs have been delivered today, and developers please check your PM for tracking number, thank you very much.




EDIT:
ps. They forgot to put receiver in package
They do have send you a 8CH S-FHSS RX in package, but they got problem , please check this post .

Different cover style!

Are these sample the same as Banggood stock ? or they already performed some little modifications ?

Hi SeBy,

The difference between Jumper's TX and Banggood's is PCB layout , they have changed USB port design , user can connect USB just open battery door!

Hi ,
Jumper's 8CH Futaba compatible RX, it has only one SBUS port , the problem is that they can use only 4CH when it bind to Jumper TX, but it can use all 8CH when it binds to Futaba 14SG TX , please help to check it out!

Thanks vlad_vy!
I tried this build , it works fine , I don't need to exchange wire of AIL&RUD now!
