Eachine or JJRC H8 mini ?

Success! I now have a A7105 and a nrf24l01 both with power amps installed and now my v911 pro and eachine h8 is working great! wow what a difference with the H8, such a good quad now!

What do I change in my model ini do get the hold switch to toggle flip mode so 0 is normal flight and 1 + a direction does a flip?

Thanks, I got it loaded and works great on my 8S.
From what I can tell, channel 6 is flip, ch 9 is headless mode and ch 10 is attack my face, lol.

Total n00b need some help here. I received my Devo 7e today and installed the nRF24L01 module like described here: www.hacksmods.com/2013/05/nrf24l01-devo7e-pinout/

Then I installed the latest nightly build of DeviationX (deviation-devo7e-v4.0.1-583c468)

But I don't find any idiot proof instructions on how to get the 7e to bind with my Eachine H8. I have a couple of questions:

1. Where can I download an ini-file for the H8?
2. In model setup I can not find Eachine, do I choose Bayang?
3. How do I bind? Power up the H8, then choose Re-init? Or: power up the H8 and turn on the Devo 7e to let it bind during its start up process?

Well, total n00b finds the answer: it refused to bind because I hadn't calibrated the sticks. Now it binds like it should:

Choose Bayang in the Devo 7e

1 . Power up quad
2. Power up Devo 7e
3. Fly!

Does the Bayang protocol allow for a stick position to calibrate gyros?

Thanks

it does

Heres a little goofing around with a bayang protocol frankenquad.



H8 mini board is a killer with 7x20 motors and a light body. And deviation of course! It's not as stable as JJ1000 (v2x2) board, but it's more agressive. Very fun!

So, the n00b has one question left: how do I configure the menus to be able to initiate acro og "headfree" with the two switches on the Devo 7e?

You mean headless mode?
Model menu -> Mixer -> Navigate down to Ch9's "None" and press ent-button -> Change "None" to "Simple" -> Navigate down to Src and when you are on it, press the switch that you want to initiate the headless mode -> Save

I hope Ch9 really is headless because i haven't tested it. Just readed from earlier post in this thread.

While on the subject of customisations, what shall I change in my model ini do get the hold switch to toggle flip mode so 0 is normal flight and 1 + a direction does a flip? Right now it seems to arm the multirotor which is not so useful.

I haven't done it in .ini file but you can do it via 7e itself by following the steps on my upper post but use Ch6 instead of Ch9. Channel 6 is flip mode. I'm sure its even easier in the .ini file but i have only done changes to the mixer with the devo itself thus far. (noob i am)

I've tried playing around with mixers but nothing seems to make a difference, I did get it flipping but with the wrong switch (fmod) then I could not disable it. Everything I regime the old settings are back and I can never get rid of the binding of arm to hold switch (I presume this is channel 5) on the 7e.

If you start all over again making a new model for h8 mini, and don't do any changes on mixers and it still binds the quad again of hold switch, it's sounds like a hardware problem on your devo to me. Soldering mistake? Check your wiring, would be my advise. Do you have any other models than h8 mini to test?

First of all thank you for making the firmware needed to control the Eachine H8 with the Devo 7e. It works very well. So I tried controlling 7 of them with one Devo:

Nice!

Awesome! Oh, the possibilities....

That is so cool!

Very cool man ~~

Yikes!

Let's see them all do that crazy H8 spin in unison.

Requesting a model file for Devo 7E (stock switches) for the H8 mini. I dont have the latest build installed on my devo but have a build which supports bayang protocol. Would I be missing any nice feature for not having the latest?

Please how do I set the mode flip on physical UP button? It still did not work Flip is 6CH (virtual), switching is shows on dislpay (0-100 -100% or + 100%), but the flip EACHINE still nothing Pleas help me.
