Is it possible to port old SoloPro 260A to deviation ?
The code is already written by kile at RCG to run on an AVR.

Nordic nRF24L01+ module is SPI.

There is also a module with antenna :

But it isn't necessary as kile demonstrated on the thread linked.

I am using his module to pilot my three SP 260a and haven't had any issue, his code is rock solid.
For you porting it would be a peace of cake.
I would think if kile provided the source with a GPLv3 and deviation being an open-source project, he wouldn't mind.
Unless you are against using code from someone else, or you don't want your code under v3 (didn't look at the license you use).
Does it take less time for you if you reverse engineer it ?
Or you just want to be thorough and have it completely documented ?
I would offer to send you one of my SP boards, but you seem reluctant to it.
Mainly because you don't want strings attached, as I understand your point of view, I for one won't be the guy telling you "hey dude where's my protocol, as I sent you a board for it...".
I'm not that kind of person, I love contributing to open source projects, we need that kind of commitment and selfless act of doing things just to help others.
And as I can't program, I try to contribute with whatever is needed.
I reckon, I couldn't beta test it for you, since I don't own a Devention transmitter.
I'm stretched between buying a combo with devo10, or wait for you to complete the "devo7 enhancement" project.
Once again thank you for your commitment.

I've sent you a message regarding an Rx. I'm not keen to buy yet another 4ch, especially one that has been replaced by a newer model.

I'm not an expert with the nrf24l01. The code mine is based off of uses send and receive modes for the binding, but it also uses auto-ack, which I'd expect to be good enough to skip switching to Rx mode.
I used my programmable switch to control CE, which seems to work well.
The code is checked in here:
bitbucket.org/PhracturedBlue/rpi_protocols
I'll keep the code in case anyone ever wants to take a crack at it, but that is probably the end of my development for this protocol.
