Devo7e - 4in1 - S-FHSS - Frequency Issue
- Gerhard_H

I have a Devo7e and the 4in1 module.
S-FHSS works (binds) sometimes, sometimes not. I'd found by chance that there's a sub menu which offers setting of Frequ-Fine and Frequ-Coarse.
I own several helis using the Futaba protocol, some have a bind knob, some haven't.
There are XK K123 (AS 350), XK K100, XK K110.
Unluckily haven't found any info how to deal with these parameters (maybe I remember to read some discussion covering this issue but I'm not sure). Search didn't find nothing (Frequ-Fine Frequ-Coarse).
Any advice would be highly appreciated.
Kind regards
Gerhard

Range is from -128 to +127, defaulting to 0. Try adjusting it by steps of 10 or 20 until it binds. Once it's bound, keep stepping the value until the connections fails. Then set it to half-way between those two values.
Do not ask me questions via PM. Ask in the forums, where I'll answer if I can.

Just as I suspected.
But :
With one of my helis it worked nearly instantly, with others not at all . . .
So for me the question seems to be : How long does it normally take to bind ? Or, to say in other words, how long have I to wait between every step ?
TIA

Had to set Coarse to +40, Fine was not used. Just keep trying some values, you should get it in the end. Not every module has the exact same specs.

I own 4 AS350, there's an elder one with the WLToys protocol and three with the Futaba S-FHSS.
An interesting detail is that one of these three RX doesnt have a bind button. And exactly this is the heli which causes troubles.
As I had mentioned earlier, I also own a Futaba T14SG radio - with this radio the heli binds instantly !
On the other hand - the Devo7e's S-FHSS frequency options offer 256 fine and 256 coarse tuning steps.
I really don't want to have to wander through 256x256 setting steps . . .
I do suspect that the signal from the Futaba radio contains an additional "special" tag which tells the actual RX (which also seems to be a "special" one) "Hey, listen, I'm a genuine Futaba radio" . . .
What do you folks think ?

And it's thoroughly possible that there's some value that model looks for that other models don't use and we don't get right. The only way to tell is to get captures from your Tx SPI bus to examine.

I'm sorry but I don't know how to do so. No idea what a SPI bus is.mwm wrote: . . . The only way to tell is to get captures from your Tx SPI bus to examine.

I have the same problem. I already got a XK K120 & K123, just receive the K124 and this one refuse to bind. I try to add fine tuning of freq like that :
name=XK K124 EC145
mixermode=Advanced
icon=XK-K124.BMP
[radio]
protocol=S-FHSS
num_channels=8
fixed_id=545467
tx_power=150mW
[protocol_opts]
Freq-Fine=120
Freq-Coarse=0
I tryed freq-fine from -120 to 120 by steps of 20, with no result... I did it by editing the ini file on the PC, save, switch off switch on radio (to go out usb mode)... turn on the heli, press the bind button, wait 5 seconds... nothing... switch off, switch on USB mode, edit again... and so on... it's really long (and frustrating!). Any way to change the freq-fine from the devo ? (I use a devo 6 with touch screen). Or to know what values to use ?
thanks in advance for help.

I also try to put the lines :
[protocol_opts]
Freq-Fine=120
Freq-Coarse=0
in my other models ini files, this does not change anything they still binding with no trouble... Like if these lines got no effect... is it the good syntax ?

Your syntax looks correct.
Did you try what I said?
Go to the 'Model setup' page.
If you have a touchscreen press or tap 'S-FHSS'.
Or use the UP+/DN- buttons to highlight 'S-FHSS' and then press the ENT button.

Thanks for help, but I try it, there is no sub menu (or anything) then you tap or try ENT on S-FHSS, unfortunately.

Back to this problem again, this time with a K130 (last time seller send me a new receiver and my K124 is now flying).
I'm using firmware 5.0.0
Nothing happen when I press or tap 'S-FHSS'.

Pascal.

P.S. When I had '*S-FHSS', I was also unable to enter the frequency settings in protocol.

or a newer Version like:

worked well for my Devo 12s
