Support for walkera telemetry. was created by Andrey
Is it possible in the future, support for telemetry as the standard firmware from Walkera.

I've been working on telemetry for quite a while, and I finally checked in somewhat working code today.
At the moment, I only have a MiniCP and a Ladybird, so at the moment only a single value is read (voltage). The interface is also not done, so configuring telemetry display is crude and limiting.
I'm also seeing occasional blips in my ladybird where it looses connection for a brief moment. So I definitely would use it with caution, however, it is working reasonably well all things considered.

If anyone has a telemetry module I can build a custom firmware which will show the raw telemetry output which would allow me to determine the rest of the protocol. Otherwise, I'll probably need to get a module and some sensors to play with.

Actually MiniCP should have two values: the voltage and the motor temperature...

I haven't actually tested with my MiniCP yet. I'll do that to see what info I can glean.

Just an interface idea: make it configurable made of different kinds of widgets...
File Attachment:


Even with a simgle value, a round analog voltmeter is easier to reasd than the digital one. Or at least the digits should be very large.

That is pretty cool, but is quite a lot of work. We'll likely start with figuring out how to display the info in the interface we already have :)

I can try to help you. I have WK-CTL01-D telemetry module, but right now I haven't RPM sensors and GPS sensor. They will be later, in two weeks.

I CAN HELP WITH 2636H-D VOLTAGE AND TEMPERATURE SENSOR WITH MY V120D02S

some one have manual how to upgrade 2636h-d with UP02

Thanks everyone, I'll put together a build that has a telemetry debug page. We should be able to get enough info if a few folks try it to figure out the telemetry encoding.

Sure. Maybe I'll do that... short of time, but maybe... (I'm a professional software developer).

I've posted an experimental build for folks with a devo8 here:
www.deviationtx.com/forum/5-news-announc...lemetry-7535ce7a8d0a

Note that I do not have my Tx available right now (and won't for some time) so I can only test it in the Emulator. So it is possible it won't work at all.
Hopefully it will though.

What I need:
multiple voltage sensors. Do the displayed values work properly and are they in the right order?

temp sensors: Do the displayed values work properly and are they in the right order?

RPM sensors: I have no idea what these look like yet. I need a known RPM and the bottom 2 lines of hex code from the telemetry status page

GPS: I have no idea what this looks like. I need a known position (probably multiple) with the bottom 2 lines from the telemetry status page.

Seems that telemetry not working. Voltage1,2,3 = not effect, Temp1,2,3,4 = not effect, bottom 2 lines have constant non zero values. I havn't RPM and GPS sensors.

Interface has strange appearance and behaviour:
1. All fonts are bold with DEVO protocol (russian and chinese fonts don't working).
2. I can't change model with DSM2 protocol to model with DEVO protocol, interface reloads. But fonts with all protocols except DEVO looks normally.

I can report only one thing - QR Ladybird provide V1 voltage (with original Tx firmware).

Did you update the contents of the filesystem?

I can also report that, with my ladybird, everything except the two numbers on the bottom of the telemetry page is reading 0.0. I did copy the media directory. The two numbers on the bottom are 00002900000000000000f401 and 313233343536373839303132. The model still functions correctly.

Also I just noticed that once the transmitter has bound, if you turn off the tx without turning off the ladybird, the ladybird does a slow red flash and will not bind again. The only way to get it to bind again is to turn off both, turn on tx, then turn on ladybird. This was not the case before, you could turn off either one and have it rebind when turned back on without having to reboot both.

would it be possible to use two different systems while flying, for example use a WK-RX2801 as Reciever and a Devo WK-CTL01-D for the telemetrie functions ?

Another update on the experimental telemetry is that when the telemetry page is open, it affects model flight. The model acts like its only receiving a control signal about twice per second, which makes it move suddenly and in a jerky motion. But if I exit the telemetry page, it goes back to normal.
