VL Toys VL959

Thottle hold = RUD D/R
Dual Rate = FMOD

Doesn't look like it, but did you have any luck with the lights or video/camera?

nop... just basic controls. Will try to see if the lights/video switch is done by further channels or some other ways..

discover something very strange today.. found the range very short, the copter lost control at very short distance.. nothing helps but set the binding to fixed ID (1111). The situtation can be repeatable... no ID, short range, fixed ID (1111) everything ok

anyone get an explaination?

but flying my VL911 is ok with auto-bind

The V959 is a monster, its is definately only a 4 channel looking at the ppm signal, the other functions 4+ different ones, are done by using some sort of macro over the existing 4 channels. Its going to be fiddley to get it right - but the solution is going to have to be done in the tx programming itself similar to Hubsan. Looks like PB may get into it down the line, the quad is nice but with the stock tx its really wasted, its hard to fly it nice with the stock tx and take advantage of the features. Its a real shame WLToys and others dont pay attention to the forums and the major successors and WHY of the predecessor models (V911, V929) - its like they intentionally FCSK it up so you are forced to use the crummy tx. GRRR! I am at the point of creating a frankenTX with an old HKT6A to use the housing and those gimbals with some internals of the V959 tx, if I do I will post results here.

Hello PhracturedBlue,

I have this FW install: deviation-devo8-e05abdefdc9d
and this FS: deviation-fs-devo8-e05abdefdc9d.

I can´t press the Flysky button (it´s withe) and the next problem is,
that I can´t bind the V979.

what mistakes did I made?

Thanks for your help.

Did you read this?
deviationtx.com/forum/6-general-discussi...ou-need-to-read-this

Guess not.

holy cow

I did not.

I am a noob maybe not, but I am always to be fast to check something out.

thanks for your hint.

Works perfect!!!!

THANKS ALL FOR YOUR HELP!!!

This is just magic, thanks a ton!
On mine I get, but all working 100%
Lights = CH5, Video = CH6, Camera = CH7

I just got mine in today but am having trouble setting up the lights and camera. I understand you bind chan 5 and 6 to a switch and turn it on/off to trigger, but I'm still having issues.. Can't seem to get the lights to trigger.

Whoops.. Never mind.. I forgot about having to:

"You need to press the 'Flysky' protocol button and enable 'WLToys V9x9' to make this work."

My bad.

I am trying to toggle the lights and set up a roll switch. Can some one that has got this working post there ini file for this model. Not sure how to set up in the mixer section. I did change the setting in the Flysky box to 9x9 on.

I just wanted to bump this thread. Can any body post there ini model file with working light switch or camera or roll?

here is my ini file with lights and modules working for devo8.

Thanks will try it out.

Good news!! Got lights to work. Thanks NT72. Has anybody got the auto flip function to work? BTW my v959 board is a replacement for the v929 board that blew a motor fet. I bought lights and canopy from v959. Don't have any modules from v959 so can't test these.
