SBEGO Pocket Drone FQ777-124 - Devo 10 & 8S model

The FQ777-124 is a great little micro quad. It's really quick and agile, it's like a faster version of the Cheerson CX-10. It also has headless mode and return to home functions.

Attached is a Devo 10 model file for the FQ777-124 micro quad. It requires that you have an NRF24L01 module installed to use it. All known modes are implemented (flip, return to home, headless mode). The new protocol name is 'FQ777-124' and is in the nightly builds starting with the 2016-09-08 build.

I've also loaded this Devo 10 model file in a Devo 8S. It flew fine and all switches and modes worked correctly, but you will need to implement the toggle boxes if you want to display the switch positions.

Please note that the the 'powers to be' have recently changed the touch screen interface,on all current Nightly Builds and test builds, so, much of the touch screen GUI functionality and advantages are now gone. It now works more like a Devo 10 interface. These touch screen test builds are not broken, even though it seems that way, it was intentional (grrrr grumble rant).

I added the following comments to the top of the model.ini file:
; ==CHANNELS==
; ch 1 - Ail
; ch 2 - Ele
; ch 3 - Thr
; ch 4 - Rud
; ch 6 - Flip mode = +100
; ch 9 - Headless mode = +100
; ch 10 - Return to Home - reverse value to enable - use Ail or Ele stick to cancel
;
; ==SWITCH ASSIGNMENTS==
; FMod - Throttle Hold
; Aile D/R - Ail & Ele D/R, up = high rates
; MIX - Flip mode, Mix1 & Mix2 = enable
; Gear - Headless mode, down = enable
; ELEV D/R - Rud D/R, up = high rate
; RUDD D/R - Return to home, flip either way to enable, Ail or Ele stick to cancel

My thanks to all that developed this protocol and all the others making Deviation great.

The FQ777-124 protocol is now in the Nightly Builds starting with build 2016-09-08.

Hi,
is this ok for devo7e? Mine doesn't bind.
My devo7e is ok with NRF24L01 module (I fly h8mini and others) and I try nightbuild and test build but no luck.
Any suggestions?

Thank you

@ ciossonno
It should work on the 7E just fine, but I don't have a 7E with NRF24L01 to test it with.

First make sure your transmitter is running a Deviation Nightly Build that was made Sept 8th 2016 or later. Also make sure you have loaded that build's file system and DFU firmware. You may want to verify that the DFU file was loaded correctly by the Walkera DfuSe tool by going into your 7E's 'Main Menu -> About Deviation' page and verifying that the 7 digit build number (after the "devo7e-v5.0.0-") matches the DFU that you tried to load.

If you are running a new enough build then maybe go into model setup and switch the protocol to something else then try to switch it back to FQ777. There was talk of re-naming the protocol or giving it a sub protocol after this model.ini was created. If they did, then the Deviation version you have loaded may have a different name like FQ777-124 instead of just FQ777. If the protocol has an * in front of it, that means it's not finding your NRF24L01 module. Also, this was tested with a NRF24L01+PA+LNA (+power amplifier, +low noise amplifier). It's the $8 version. If your running a different version, like the $4 version without the amplifiers there may be issues like there have been with other protocols.

Thank you for your reply!
Learned a lot from it.
I only copied and pasted an October night build so I hope that's the problem
I have the 4$ module
Let you know.
Thanks again.

Sounds like maybe you didn't get the new DFU loaded. The Deviation manual has great instructions on how to do it in the section labeled "2.2. DFU Installation With Walkera DfuSe".

Dear friend, My FQ777-124C works well with your protocol, but I ask you which problems for add
Ch7 photo and Ch8 video controls so as many Others models ?
Thanks !
