Yes I suppose it works like that (and the list of channel is also sent in the bind packets), but I've not seen this reply packet yet, it probably happens on a different channel than the bind channel, I've to find it.

edit: seems txid is composed of the first and last byte of payload, I can change both of them in the bind and data packets and it's still working. Not working anymore if I change one of them in the bind or data packets only.

Got it, it's sent on the bind channel actually (0x02), hmmm now I've to add a function to decode xn297 packets with a pcf ...

(we're lucky that the quad doesn't ensure an ack is received after it transmits this packet!)

I confirm I receive a 15 byte packet (according to the pcf) from the quad, now to decode it ...
I think that's the last part of the puzzle then this protocol will be thoroughly cracked, with arbitrary txid / rf channels and all

Fortunately the protocol itself is very easy.

Hmmmm, seems the packets I posted above were sent by the Tx, not by the quad, these are the packets I receive from the quad at end of bind:
38 55 32 3f 42 47 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 58 05
38 55 32 3f 42 47 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 58 45
38 55 32 3f 42 47 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 58 65
38 55 32 3f 42 47 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 58 45

That's hard to know how this 0x58 becomes 0x18 afterward without at least another capture ...

Now that you have done the ground work of the xn297 with pcf, you should be able to emulate the drone response with a nrf and therefore see what's the response from the transmitter would be for different RX IDs.

Ok, I'm stupid, I forgot to add +2 (for pcf) to the rx pipe size, hence the last 2 bytes were not correct, my quad returns 0x18 actually, as expected ...

It's working now, I'll cleanup my code, add arbitrary tx id + rf channels, flips, try dynamic trims then post another build that should work for everyone this time

Time for dinner first ...

Well ....

! Is this the first time anyone's cracked a protocol this way? Good job mate.

For deviation, I think so, but that was not that difficult, because it's xn297 compatible, a well known chip here, and the protocol is very simple: no txid / rf channel relationship to crack, no checksum, same address for bind & data ...
You confirm that it's working now ? Ok for nightly builds ?

Don't own the drone myself, but follow your works impressive!
Radiolink protocol could be another tricky one to tackle........

Flying wise it's perfect. Flips work... and they're just as crazy as everything about this thing. Looks like job done to me.

Mine has some wicked left drift, but it's the quad. Was gonna order another anyway. Thanks for all the work goebish, appreciate it. If anyone doesn't have one of these, you should

I'm far from being an expert, but I'd get the HackRF because of the lower price and its greater frequency range out of the box. However, the BladeRF is better in other aspects, more instantaneous bandwidth, better ADC and full duplex ...
I got the BladeRF X40 as well because that's convenient to have 2 SDR devices sometimes especially when you start to experiment with transmitting, and Nuand had a 50% sale last summer.

If all you want is to do is to "listen" to the 2.4GHz ISM band, then you can use a simple RTL dongle + MMDS downconverter:

thanks for the info bud, i'm having to train in sdr as part of work (i'm a ccnp network engineer and i'm told i need to add wireless to my pentesting skills lol) and as well as 2.4ghz i'll need coverage up into 5/5.8ghz for A,N/AC wireless and 800mhz to 2.6ghz for 4G routers so it looks like the hackone hackrf is the only choice really. at least work is paying for the hardware lol

If your employer is going to pay for the HackRF One then get it from the original source otherwise there are some cheaper knockoffs on Taobao.

Trust me, you're an expert. Of course there's always more to learn, and people with more knowledge, but you have some impressive skills. I respect modesty though. My dad was a really good programmer, but it never rubbed off on me. Given the age we live in I wish it did. I'm not unintelligent, but it's obvious you need a particular mind. I obviously don't have it.

Thought I should add, if you're going to get one of these Skull Drone's (GW008) order it from BangGood. That's not a plug for BangGood, they're just the only confirmed source of the version goebish deviated. If anyone finds another, chime in. BangGood are giving me endless headaches atm.

1 more off the list. You have my thanks.

My 2x H20H order got turned around (yet another BangGood f**k up), so I can't add to the captures atm. I wasn't keen on them anyway. Just curious to see alt. hold, then they were going to my nieces. Let me know when you get to the H20/30 mini's though. They're still wired up to do the rest of the captures.

Ok. Definetely a newbee to this but I re-installed the new nightly build 3.17.17. Put in Skull drone under Cx10 green and still no bind.

What am I doing wrong? You guys worked so hard to get this up and running
