Anyone seen this yet?


I saw this last night and its in my shopping cart, just can't tell if it is the module with the PA.



I posted a question about the PA on Banggood's 'Customer Discussions' section for this module. I also emailed their customer service department about the power amplifier.

Have anybody found out anything about this module yet?

You can see the power amp circuit. It's the second chip, closest to the antenna.

Here's a A7105 transceiver with, and without power amp circuit.

Here's a photo of the NRF24L01 with the PA circuit. Looks just like the BangGood one.

The NRF24L01 transceiver that doesn't have the PA will be missing that second chip. Just like the photos of the A7105 above.

Thanks Daryoon, I'll get a couple on order. I was expecting to see a metal shield case around the power amp, I guess that's optional.

I noticed some of the other components are a little different, so they're not the exact same boards. Do you know if these things have a standard pinout, or do I need to trace the board out with a multimeter and NRF24L01 data sheet?

I would expect that the pinout will be different, although many modules seem to be clones of others. The order of the data lines are IMO given by the nrf-chip pinout, because every pcb designer will try to reduce crossings. But at least GND and VCC could be anywhere (esp. left or right of the data lines)...

On my board, the reverse side had the pins labeled.

I collected several pinouts of different modules which I came by. They are similar, but sometimes with annoying differences. E.g., there is semistandard 2x4 layout, and XL2500-D03 has very similar 2x5 layout, but for some reason MISO and MOSI exchanged.

Hello everyone! I want to share the good news. A few days ago I was able to bind WLToys V933 to my DEVO10 with module from the old transmitter Nine Eagles Solo Pro and HiSky protocol patch. Everything is working very well.

just a heads up that i had to modify the hisky patch a little to get it to work on the latest nightly's, i only edited the existing patches instead of creating new ones (as i don't have the skills lol) but they apply and the protocol works ok

I started working on HiSky for real, so soon this patch should not be needed. It requires some revision in frequency hopping sequence and usage of CYRF chip as a source of unique id. It should not take long - all other aspects seems to be covered by the original author - suvsuv.

Got my module installed and working, used the patch HappyHarry modified on the latest commits. Was able to bind with my HiSky FBL80 and all channels seem to work, now I just need to adjust the model.ini. I only tested this indoors and set my TX to 10mW output.

Victor, just like HH I am looking forward to your work on HiSky.

The HiSky micros are a lot of fun and with WLToys rebranding them parts are super cheap. They make great indoor flyers.

For anyone else I had a heck of a time finding a picture of someone who had done this mode on a Devo8 or Devo10. Finally found a write up with pictures in Russian. I did not translate the text but the pictures helped. Here is the link:

Victor, I am willing to test new patches. I only have one devo10 and it is modded with the nrf24l01+pa module working on a HiSky FBL80. So it looks like you have two testers, myself and Daryoon.

Cool. I think many of us in this thread can help test.

Victzh needed a specific test run to allow multiple HiSky birds in the same area to be flyable. That's why he said he needed those with two Devo and two HiSky birds. or at least, a tester that has a friend that they can meet and fly the HiSky birds together with their modded Devo radio.

Currently, only one HiSky bird can be used at a time. :)

Would it work if I had two birds and a HiSky x-6s as well as the devo10?

Basically, yes, it will work. I hope to finalize it for testing today or tomorrow, as usual real life makes initial plans a bit optimistic ;-)

if a modded 7e and a second Tx using a wl-t6 module will be usable then i could also help test the changes, and no rush victzh, i'm just glad there are people like yourself (and pb, rbe etc etc) that release their work freely and open source for other people to use :)

Guys, check Devo7E and Devo10 builds in Builds topic. I put out 2 Devo7E test builds and 2 Devo10 test builds with HiSky protocols. They all are dev builds, meaning you can connect serial at 115200 to it's PPM port and have some debug output. But that's not important.

What important is: one build uses STM32 unique id, it marked with mfgid suffix. These builds should not interfere with each other even if you set the same TX id on two different controllers.

Another build is without this unique id, so they SHOULD interfere if use the same TX id.

If you set new id, take into account that it's effective only after power off/on or bind.

Could you check this behavior for me, please?

And in new notation HFP80, HCP80, HFP100, HCP100 where HFP means HiSky Fixed Pitch, HCP - HiSky Collective Pitch, 80 and 100 - heli's size.

Also, Q-BOT Micro (or HiSky FF120), probably some others.
