No training mode?

I was using my 7e as a slave in training mode with my devo8s with the walkera firmware to help people learn to fly but I can't find any way to make it work in deviation. Is training mode not supported? If not will it be at some point? If it is how to do I set it up?

thanks

It's ok if it doesn't support training mode now but are there plans to add support later? It is usefull for teaching a novice the basics without risking my heli/quads. I even added a micro switch on the top corner of my 8s to allow quick switching from slave to master without having to take my thumbs off the sticks (or my eyes off the heli) so I hate to think I wasted my time and drilled a small hole in my 8s for nothing

As there is a PPM output protocol I think you can (may be) use Deviation as the slave? Not sure?

Maybe but that doesn't really do me any good since I have some non devo compatible models and the button I added for quick switching of control is on my 8s.

Ppm input is also used for head tracking.. Could be useful.

Well, for the time being I can use my 7e in training mode with my old 2801pro tx but I'm limited to devo compatible rx's with that, aside from using an undersized tx that I'm not comfortable with.

I know a limited number of people will take advantage of it but adding in training mode functionality would be really nice for some of us if you ever get bored and want to add a new feature

thanks for all your work, I'm now flying a nine eagles plane, two devo quads, two devo heli's and a 2801 heli all with the same tx....and if I get more into planes I won't have to buy a new tx, just compatable cheap rx's to go in a much cheaper arf plane.

I've just tested my Devo 10/Deviation as trainer on my WK2801Pro as master.
It works... I have just trimed all channels which were all away from zero.
It will be fantastic when I will be able to do the reverse (WK as trainer on Deviation as master)

Yeah, we need the deviation tx to be the master. I was actually surprised at how universally the trainer mode works among the walkera radios.

One thing I did not like about walkeras trainer implementation was the fact that you can't assign the trainer mode switch to a spot that can be reached without removing my thumb from the stick (or my eyes from the heli)so I wired a micro momentary switch to a switch it could be assigned too and put the micro switch in a spot I could easily keep my finger on while buddy boxing someone...works much better that way. Also helps to set your display to stay on all the time to avoid two button presses to switch control, one to turn the screen back on and one to switch control.

heres the thread on rcgroups where I show what I did if your interested.

nice idea! Thanks.

Has there been a status change here? I saw somewhere that perhaps nightly supported this, and that there was a document floating around on how to set it up?
