Help! Devo7e with 2 3 way switches and QX2 v3

Hi guys, I'd like to thank all the brilliant minds that have come together and create such an amazing piece of software that unites so many protocols into one unit. What youve accomplished is certainly great.

I have a Devo 7e with 2 3 way switches along with the 2 2 way switches that come stock. I've been able to get some of the modes working with one of the 3 way switches by modifying the ini provided by vvs. who says

RUD DR is your THR hold (-130). It will init FC (start motors) using new sequence (sticks down-in) if going from RUD DR0-1. RUD DR1-0 will kill motors at any time as it set THR to -130.

GEAR 1 is RTH, always. GEAR 0 will return you to whatever mode is selected by FMOD.

FMOD0 - Purple - AP mode ( wilt gps position hold and throttle controlling alt)
FMOD1 - Blue - Stability mode to fly around for fun or FPV
FMOD2 - Red - Agility mode to do loops, flips etc.

AIL DR 0 - 20% EXP and 80% travel just in case agility mode is too scary or you don't want to go inverted.
AIL DR 1 - 20% EXP and 100% travel

ELE DR switch reset flight timer which runs if THR is applied.

Safety is THR0 and Gear0 as you don't want them while init motors =)


I changed FMOD0,1, 2,, to SW A0,1,2 to get the modes to work.

What do i change to get it to spin motors?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you

I attatched vvs file model4.ini and the modified fied file I'm using model24.ini

I would like to set it up like this with a 2 way switch that make a 3 way switch have 2 mode packs. Is this complicated to do?

The gear channel (CH5) values for flight modes are:

Smart: 100
AP: 0
RTH: -100
Stability: 115
Agility: 150

To toggle manually between flight mode pack A

Smart mode (green, CH5: 100)
AP mode (purple, CH5: 0)
Return to home (red flashing, CH5: -100)

or B

Agility mode (red, CH5: 150)
Stabilty mode (blue,, CH5: 115)
Return home (red, CH5: -100)

How can I bind it with GPS lock off? The manual says to bind it with Aileron right but that doesn't work with the way this is binding.

I appreciate the help.

Thanks guys

I got it to arm after putting the FW v2 in but it immediately goes into emergency mode. Back to the drawing board.

It appears that you're using the Hold switch (replacing the original RUD DR0/1) for both a throttle kill and an Init function. If the mixers are set right you should see the motors initialize when you go from Hold1 to Hold0. Virt2 is where the magic lies, and when you switch from Hold1 to Hold 0, that mixer responds on the Rudder to perform the magic sequence. I guess the question is if this magic sequence matches what your FC needs.

thank you very much for responding. I got it to arm but it goes right into emergency mode. I noticed that one of the motors seems jammed. could that be the issue? Here's my latest try. I appreciate your help very much

You've been doing your homework! I don't have this model, so I think you're a bit beyond my depth. There is an excellent tutorial on the QX2 by MWM here . It covers some of the issues you may need to address.

It seems there have been a few threads on this model. Maybe someone else can jump in or direct you to more info. In any case please let us know when you get it working!
