Can you link to where it's currently at on his site? I just spent a good hour looking for it in vein. Been a while since I saw it there.

With all V2x2 quads the flip is initiated by activating CH6 and then hitting 100% on the stick. Ch5 is for LED control.

Certain V2x2 stock Tx's have CH6 always activated and so all that is needed is 100% stick input to initiate the flip routine, and other V2x2 stock Tx's use a separate button for Ch6 control. Either way the flip control is CH6 + 100% stick input in the protocol.

On Devo we have full control. We can keep rudder at 100% rate no matter what we set for the other rates. We can trigger Ch6 (flips) however we like; simultaneously with 100% AIL/ELE stick input or using any switch/button on the Tx or even some other creative way if you like or even fully disable it even though rates are 100%.

Here's some useful info from earlier in this thread:

deviationtx.com/forum/protocol-developme...ocol?start=100#11855

www.massiverc.com/PrestaShop/en/115-wl-t...nf-alien-canopy.html

OK thank you for the help ...yeah I really would like to be able yo fly 100% without flipping unless I want it to ...so if I want to use a switch I have to go to channel six and assign a switch to that channel and make the scale 100 and that's its?

That is exactly it. I assigned FMOD1 ( top right switch on my Devo10 ) to channel 6, and when it's in position - get flips on my V222 at 100% throws. Moving the switch away from that position -- and can go full 100% throws with no flipping!

Can you share your V2x2 model file for Devo10 ?

Happy to - but it will be a little later. All i did though, was add Channel 6 to my FMOD1 Devo10 switch... with default settings. My Devo10 had whatever model file Massive had configured on it.

So with those setting fmode will enable flip mode?

No. I configured Channel 6 to FMODE1 (with defaults) on top of these. I did this from the transmitter itself. It's pretty straight forward. Sorry - not where I can get and dump the updated model file. Again though -- IIRC, you only need to go to the Mixer settings and make a quick entry / Change in Channel 6 to a Devo10 control. In my case... that was FMODE1. That - enables flip mode at 100% throws.

Maybe someone else can chime in here about them setting cause I'm new to this but the way that is set fmod switch is set to expo so if we put fmod1 to channel 6 when I switch to fmod I'd also be switching the expo to 100 but then you would always be in flip mode with 100 when u want 100 expo so wouldn't it be better to use a different switch for channel 6 maybe fmod2 so fmod would be 60-100-100 with flip?

Thanks to a PM from timmy463229, I added this to Channel5 to get the V222 lights to toggle on/off with Mix1 (on)..

While I was there, I upped the rates to 125 for everything. It only flips the V222 when the FMOD1 switch is centered ( Channel 6 enabled ), so bumping the rates (AIL, RUD, ELE) as high as they can go was my preferred setting..

I'll tell you a secret - V202 protocol can't use 125%. By setting it to 125% you effectively make your sticks more sensitive, but the range - smaller.

LOL. Thanks.. I probably should spend more time reading your write-ups..

Victzh - Has the V202 re-bind at transmitter turn-on been implemented in the Devo7E nightly? The 7E has the same issue, and it would be useful. In my case I am using it for the V272 at the moment. -thanks, great firmware!

Problem solved itself by the heli dying.

As far as I can tell by looking at the code - yes. It is turned off by default, you need to press enter when you on the Protocol menu item on the model configuration page and switch it on.

Would this be a good file for the little v272? Thanks!

Here's some of my current v272 inis I am using with a 7e. These profiles use icons from here: www.deviationtx.com/forum/bw-icons-for-d...-q4-jet-funjet-clone

Red LED on HOLD 1. Flip enable on HOLD 0.
High rates on FMOD 1, Low rates on FMOD 0.
Timers are set for a 180 second flight time based on throttle, I read somewhere (rcg?) that people experienced longer battery life when capping their flights around 3 minutes.

Look over the code and you should be able to change it for your needs.

Here's an ini I've been using with young pilots who have no RC experience. Note the rates are extremely (painfully) low and even the throttle is tame.

Not sure if I did these correctly but myself and others have been flying on them without issue so far. I have only owned my 7e for a few days.

Hi DeviateFish.

Thanks for the files. I've been working on getting the first one set up on my 8s. I've made some tweaks to tame it down a bit and getting the switch assignments set. The 8s has GEAR, not HOLD. Oops on my part! I set those to the GEAR switch but had them backward! That got interesting fast, LOL!

Hi guys.
By popular demand , I captured SPI data for Headless mode in Wltoys V626,V636 and probably newer models with magnetometer.
The first file, is a capture with the bind sequence, activate Headless button and some seconds later deactivate Headless mode.
The second file, are the commands implicated to calibrate X and Y axis at the quadcopter for Headless operation. This calibration is buggy, and really nobody knows 100% how it works. Maybe don't mind to put attention into this calibration procedure, or can't be replicated at this protocol, but if anyone want to take a look, I captured the sequence to calibration. Bind sequence, X calibration and some seconds later Y calibration.

Maybe Victzh or any other V202 expert could take a look to integrate into the V202 protocol.

Thanks!!!

Removed data captured

Anyone continues monitoring this thread?
Maybe is better to open a new thread with the captures?

I am, I will take a look at it. I made a note to myself in the list of my current projects.

Thanks Victzh!
