Thank you.

try use rud expo/rates template
not sure if rx will allow settings above 100
not easy to test for any changes

I just want to report that the KN protocol in the latest nightly deviation-devo10-v4.0.1-583c468 is working well with my V977.

As i'm new to this I've compiled some notes for my own study and I'm going to leave it here to help others. They are from various parties across the various threads and credits to all of them.

Channel Mapping
1. Throttle/Pitch
(Mixing is onboard Helo. i.e. Actual Throttle/Pitch curves are stored in the Helo, but you can make use of ch 9 to adjust the Throttle/Pitch curve as necessary).
2. Aileron
3. Elevator
4. Rudder
5. Dual Rates: -100 normal, 100 double
(Not sure which channel this affects, but I suspect it affects channel 1-4)
6. Throttle Hold: -100 Off, 100 On
7. Idle Up: -100 Off, 100 On
8. 3D/6G Mode: -100 6G mode, 100 3D mode
(In 6G flies like V911, centering Ail/Elevator will cause heli to hover)
9. Pitch Trimmer
10. Aileron Trimmer
11. Elevator Trimmer

Note: I haven't figured out which channel would activate the hover debug function in 6G mode, but i'm also wondering why there's a need for such a function since I can trim out the 6G in the TX. Probably meant for people with the original TX where the trims are stored on the heli itself.

I have a couple of questions please if you don't mind, just for information purposes I'm using a Devo 8, in an effort to avoid carrying an extra Transmitter around I would like to use the Devo 8 to fly the V977, I have the deviation software installed on the Devo 8, I don't fly the V977 any further than 50 feet (13 meters) to either side of myself.
I was wondering if this module has worked out well for you?
If I'm understanding this correctly with this Module there's no necessity for an extra antenna?
Is there any special hardware involved with programming this card or does the deviation software take care of this?

Edit: my apologies this is my first post trying to add a quote, I'm not sure what I did wrong but the quote from post #4156 did not get included, the module I am referring to is the one with the ceramic antenna in post number 41569 by wukong.

Thank you.

Other members have tried and recommended this other module which comes with an antenna: www.banggood.com/DEVO-Transmitter-Tuner-...ys-V922-p-89812.html For this banggood module, you can keep the antenna within the Devo casing also without any issues.

Let me know if you have further questions!
