-The Walkera Devo transmitters use a [[modulelist/​cyrf6936|CYRF6936]] transceiver chip. In theory any receiver using this chip could be compatible with Deviation. It would, of course, require analyzing the protocol to make it work. There are 3 other common transceiver chips in the 2.4GHz RC domain: [[modulelist/​cc2500|CC2500]],​ [[modulelist/​a7105|A7105]],​ [[modulelist/​nrf24l01|NRF74L01]]. Modules for each of these can be purchased for ~$15 each from China. Currently Deviation supports all of them, but only two additional RF modules can be installed into a Tx without the help of some additional DIY hardware called the [[modulelist/​multimod|MultiModule]].+The Walkera Devo transmitters use a [[modulelist/​cyrf6936|CYRF6936]] transceiver chip.

-Deviation with the additional RF modules already supports a lot of protocols, and the number is increasing day after day. You can look at the [[https://​docs.google.com/​spreadsheet/​ccc?​key=0Any72n5Y9u-kdGFDeXhBY0I0ek1raTdEN21VTlBzTkE&​usp=sharing|Supported Models]] list to seeif your model is supported.+Deviation with the additional RF modules already supports a [[supported_protocols|lot of protocols]], and the number is increasing day after day. You can look at the [[supported_models|Supported Models]] list to see if your model is supported.
  
 In order to support a new protocol, we need to know what transceiver chipset is used in the particular model. If you are not sure, post detailed pictures of the TX and/or RX board. If the chipset is supported, we need captures of the data flow between the microcontroller and the transceiver chip. In order to support a new protocol, we need to know what transceiver chipset is used in the particular model.

 If the TX won't go into the DFU mode, or doesn'​t show any sign of life, pull out the batteries for some time (say 15 minutes), and try again. If the TX won't go into the DFU mode, or doesn'​t show any sign of life, pull out the batteries for some time (say 15 minutes), and try again.

-A lot of TX experts are here, so probably yes. Ask your question in the "Stock Firmware Help" ​forum. However keep in mind, that the users of this site primarily use deviation on their transmitters,​ and might not remember all the stock settings, so you might be better to ask your questions in a generic modeller forum, like the [[http://​www.rcgroups.com|RCGroups]].+A lot of TX experts are here, so probably yes.
