Eachine E015 Flight Boat Car was created by goebish
I was sent this machine to check if I could deviate it (Thanks Fred!) as the range in car/boat mode is no more than 10 meters using the stock transmitter.
Also, the stock controller is pretty bad, I found out that 2/3 of the sticks throw is just dead zone !

Both Tx & Rx have a MCU with built-in 2.4 GHz transceiver, no SPI bus.
(Tx= RW1608, Rx= Sonix SN32F706, according to the datasheet this IC isn't supposed to have a built-in RF transceiver ...)

With SDR I was able to figure out the transceiver is a HS6200: bit.ly/2O0D2pu

Last time I tried to emulate the HS6200 using the nrf24l01 or cyrf6936 (they're the only 2 transceivers we have that can do gfsk @ 1 Mbps) it didn't went too well, remember:
www.deviationtx.com/forum/protocol-devel...-e012?start=20#62970
www.deviationtx.com/forum/protocol-devel...-e012?start=40#63026
but hey, let's try again ....



... and that's a fail :P
(I decreased packet period after I made this video, that's better now, but still not usable, same as E012)

Same as last time, the HS6200 misses most of the packets that are sent by the nrf24l01 (that's the same the other way round) although they've the same GFSK center frequencies and deviation ...

It won't make its way into nightly builds, but if someone wanna try it anyway here are a few test builds:

CHANNEL6: Led

CHANNEL9: Headless

Now I won't waste my time the next time I see a HS6200 ;)

Goebish you might want to try what I did for the Shenqi protocol using LT8900 emulation.
I had the same problem of packet loss. Instead of sending a lot more packets I've just sent 2 packets but without waiting for the 1st one to be completed.
I think the target RF decoding part is looking at a flow of bits and look for the sync and address in it and takes whatever is after in the payload. By transmitting even a "bad/not complete" packet before with "no time in between" helps the target RF demodulator to start.
Anyway this is what worked for the Shenqi protocol to get a smoth connection.

I was eager to check that out hoping it would work, but it doesn't.

After fiddling a bit it seems to work now!
I've to make a few more tests with the E012 as well to confirm what works best.

Thanks Pascal, you were on the right track, once again ;)

Cool, that it works in this case as well!
Let me know when I'll be able to port the protocols to multi.

I confirm it works with the E012 as well!
I'll cleanup my code and tell you once it's ready.

Will you do a hs6200 emulation layer since you already have 2 different protocols using it?

Yes, that's what I did.

Batteries are in the charger before a last test then I'll make a pull request.

Heroes@work...thumbs up

Does this mean that there is hope for the Furibee F36?

Unfortunately the F36 is a different beast, it's suspected to use a LT8910 with FEC enabled, hard to decode over the air (I wasn't able to do it...) and even harder to emulate.

Great news if now all protocols associated with this 2-in-1 MCU/RF chip can be now deviated via the Pascal's trick :)

Any protocol that's using a HS6200 transceiver @ 1Mbps actually :)
I know you were waiting for the E012 protocol, it's in the test build as well!

I don't own this machine :) I am just glad of your hard work :) in general.... another breakthru for RF hacking in general :)

this one also works - I will let you all know tho if you go to download the slt dfu file with sub models it will remove these 2 protocol and bugs 3 mini- also if you download the 1st dfu file on this thread with only the one protocol it will remove the bugs 3 mini protocol -- loading the mini protocol and the dfu file with the 2 protocols here dosnt remove anything

Thanks for testing and reporting!

Yes, those are test builds, not all in sync with the latest changes, just wait for the next nightly build ;)
(I don't know why but seems the automated build system has been broken for a few days although "Build passing" is showing, there are no new nightly builds ...)

@JayDrone I was sent the E015 without the manual, can you tell me how to start it in car / boat mode please ?

always happy to test these dfu files u guys rock -- ok so the drone normally starts in drone mode -- u need to then toggle it into boat mode - and I think this is what I showed in my video -- 1st mode down n out quad mode - 2nd mode just throttle up
