7e +telem +layout ed +perm timer, weekly updates

well the majority have spoken and it looks like permanent timer was the looser, but out of the kindness of my heart (lol not really as my buddy wants the permanent timer on his one and neither of us plan to use the multimodule) i will make three builds available, one with no permanent timer(noperm), one with no layout editor(nolayout), and one with no support for the new multimodule board(nomulti). these as always are in the first post.

if you find any bugs post here or on bitbucket, and as always enjoy your flying guys

I knew you would come true (is it true or through ?).

ThX mate.

thanks HH ...

Well I think telem layout perm timer are all not that important
I switch to the new Devo 10 I think there is a big different between devo 7e and devo 10 which is the resolution of the gimbal.
Can devo 7e resolution be inceaseed? Maybe change the VR on the gimbal?
If the resolution can be increased this will be a big improvment for Devo 7e.

I'm looking for the guide to add the 8s telem module to my 7e any help would be appreciated

I'm looking at adding a 3x1 switch to my 7e, but I'm not sure where to download the code from, and where to extract it to. any help would be Much appreciated

choose a zip from the first post in this thread e.g. nomulti

you will need to reflash your devo with this build (use the same method you used to first flash from devention to the deviation firmware.

Once this is done edit the hardware.ini file so that you can enable the 3x1 switch.
e.g.

;switch_types: 3x2, 3x1, 2x2
extra-switches=3x1

cheers

So I tried this the other night, I loaded a file from the first post, then I go in to the hardware file that is now on my tx and change add 2x2 for my switches. Right? Or do I change the .INI file before copying it to my tx? I am unable to get the additional switches to show up in the radio.
Thanks for any help

Just edit and save the file after you have flashed the build (edit on the drive).

The switches should appear as A and B for each switch.

sorry for missing lasts weeks update guys, just been a busy few weeks. anyway the new builds are in the first post and if you find any bugs or problems post here or on bitbucket, and as always enjoy your flying guys

so this is my hardware.ini file and i still am not seeing the extra switches in the radio


;Only useful for transmitters with an after-market vibration motor
;enable-haptic=1
;
;switch_types: 3x2, 3x1, 2x2
;extra-switches=2x2
;
[modules]
; 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 = 0
; enable-a7105 = A13
; has_pa-a7105 = 1
; enable-cc2500 = A14
; has_pa-cc2500 = 1
; enable-nrf24l01 = A14
; has_pa-nrf24l01 = 1
; enable-multimod = A13




can anyone see anything wrong?

Remove the semi-colon before "extra-switches=2x2". The semi-colon means ignore the rest of the line.

Awesome thank you very much just got it working

i got the latest build with no perm working, however i notice that on main menu, the bottom of box 2 is cut of by the top of box 3. is there any way to manually alter the postions of the boxes on the main page? thanks

I'm not quite sure what your asking bud? as these builds don't change any of the GUI stuff

Don't worry, I fixed it:). I just had to change the position of the boxes 1,2,3 on main page config as they were all overlapped after flashing the latest nightly build onto it.

ahh i got you, the main screen can be set to be model specific, or you can have the same main screen layout for all models, though i don't understand why there are overlaps in any of the boxes as my builds don't touch any of that? unless the default layout has these problems?

anyway the newest builds are in the first post guys, the main addition this time is the KN protocol that is used currently on the wltoys v977 heli, though i think there will be more using this protocol in the near future.

as always if you find any bugs report them here or on bitbucket, and enjoy your flying

I've done the 3x2 switch mod, but after installing the latest nightly built (devo7e-nomulti-91301b7), my 7e does not work anymore.

I've edited the hardware.ini file. I uncommented the line and changed the value to: extra-switches=3x2 (by using Windows 7 wordpad)
I've changed the following: has_pa-cyrf6936 = 1 (because I've done the range mod successfully (already tested with the release 4.00)

The following two problems appear:
1. After swithing on the DEVO, a error message appears: "Bad/missing protocol modules!"
2. There are some switch combinations of the new 3-pos switches which "blocks" the up-trim of the left stick (throttle). Note: This problem also appear with the rel. 4.00 firmware.

After copying back the original fils (rel. 4.00), the "missing protocol" error disappears and everything works fine.

What is wrong?

the "missing protocol modules" error usually appears when you only flash the newer firmware and don't also copy across the new modules folder to the file system. try doing that and see if it fixes your problems

new builds are in the first post, main updates this time is telemetry is enabled on the FrSky protocol, a bind on start option for the v202 protocol, and the ability to use up to 12 channels when using the tx with a pc in USBHID mode.

as always if you find any bugs post here or on bitbucket, and enjoy your flying people
