There's pots on the rx for gyro gain.

Can you check these again?
The 1st looks like 100% throttle, 0% trim
The 2nd looks like 25% throttle, 0% trim

Just to be clear:

0% = stick all the way down, 100% = stick all the way up, 50% = stick centered. Same for trims.

I thought binding was working ok a couple of days ago, and I didn't change anything releated to binding.

This happened after the rx bound, but now it's not reproducible...

Bit 0 in Byte 10 (count from 0) seems to be a "bind packet"-bit in 2401 mode and TxID seems to be only 12 bit.

Finally got a servo moving with the change in my repo, but it probably broke 2601/2801 stuff (quick hack for testing, need to go to bed).

/edit: I just hovered my V100D01 for a short time using the Devo 8.

Ok, I implemented something that should work with the 2401, and 2801. Let me know how it goes.
I will test the 2601 later and see if I can get it working reliably too.

I also updated the servo travel such that it should give full range to the 2401.
Note that as I've said before, I'm sending the trim/channel-mixed data in the 'channel' fields as opposed to sending the trim data separately. Your data indicates that the trims do not affect the maximum servo travel, so I remain unconvinced that there is any benefit to letting the RX mix the trims.
FDR is concerned that it may affect some flybarless models, but someone will have to show me an actual issue before I agree to change it. Did Walkera even make a flybarless FP compatible with the 2402?

Ok, I've played with the 2801 and 2601 settings and I think I have 2601 and 2801 coded properly now. Hopefully I didn't break the 2401 in the process.

The 2601 channel behavior is odd. servo-throw is different for each channel for the same input, and the throttle channel is non-linear. There is also a Gyro channel, but it doesn't seem to be exported to a servo control wen bound to the Rx2801.

Yep, for example the aforementioned V100D01, but there were quite a few:
V100D01, V120D01, V200D01, V200DQ01, V200D02, V370D01, 4F180, 4F200LM, V100D06...

Your data indicates that the trims do not affect the maximum servo travel, so I remain unconvinced that there is any benefit to letting the RX mix the trims.

Actually I wrote earlier that I grounded the ADC input on the RX2435 from the "ELE-AIL-EXT" pot. This is a scale factor for servo throws on the rx. I noticed that there's a dead zone at maximum stick deflections, even with the original TX. There might be oversaturation in the rx going on - stick and trims are mixed, the result is multiplied by a too large "EXT" factor and subsequentially clipped to a value corresponding to 910us/1910us before the PWM output is generated.

I have another unmodified RX2435 that I could check later with the EXT pot set to a more sane value.

/edit: The V100D01 was the best FP micro heli I got from Walkera yet, and yes, it's flybarless.

It's news to me that a TX260x can bind to an RX2801.

The TX260x is weird anyways. On the original TX2601, it requires flipping DIP switches to set some values. On the 2801 Pro, I ran into some strange behaviour when trying to configure the RX2610S.

I suspect that an RX in 2601 mode can enter different states for programming certain values that are stored on the RX.

With the fix I checked in an hour ago that is still true?

It is better now, but the range is still too narrow.
The CB100 could barely lift off to about 4 inches.
There was a strong left drift too, I must use aileron trim...

But it binds, and the directions are all right.
However we should indicate somehow, when the automatic binding period ends...

Hmm. With the latest code, I think I get full servo throws. Hovering the V100 was quite twitchy, too. Are you sure that limiting doesn't happen in the mixer, does the output monitor show full ranges?

Yep, I have a simple 1-to-1 for all the channels without limiting them with scale, min/max or anything else...
The only thing I've done is a throttle hold with the safety value feature...

It is with the latest build of today morning: 6c984eceee15

Looks like it was a flat battery...

I've flown my CB100 and Genius CP with the new fw!
BTW looks like the gyro gain is sent on channel 7. I thought it is the 5th, but the rx led doesn't light, which is the case of too low gyro gain, and it flew horrible that way...
