Well, I just had to do major surgery to make the trims work properly and to support >100% throw. Those were the last issues I had on my plate before release (there are lots of other things that need doing, but I'm planning to defer them until after the 1st release is done). So now it is mostly a matter of finding all the bugs I just introduced, and testing that the code actually works as intended on all transmitters. I'll probably be doing some of that this weekend, but it'll take time to find the bugs, and if there are any unexpected surprises (like the mixer changes don't actually address our needs).

So yes, we are getting closer.

Thanks for the offer. The string list is not 100% final, but it is getting pretty close, and is sufficient for translation I think.

Doing so is pretty easy.
First download one of the files in this dir (lang1 is Hungarian, lang2 is German) to use as a reference:
bitbucket.org/PhracturedBlue/deviation/s.../filesystem/language

Then translate each line that starts with a ':'
The syntax is that the English line (with a leading colon) comes 1st, and the translated string is the next line. Do not modify the English line!

if you see '\n' it indicates a new-line (you don't need to keep these in the same place, but you need the same number of them)

If you see special characters ('%s' or '%d') these indicate that another string or integer will be substituted at this point. these must be preserved as well.

The output file must be in UTF-8 format. The current font should support virtually all European languages.

When you are happy, you can attach your file to a post here, or you can file a ticket on bitbucket with your changes.

From the slowed down traffic and no bugs it seems the release is close! ;)

It works, but since my CB100 is really sick, I cannot confirm how good is it.

Ok, well, I'll likely do the release in the next few days then. I need to clean up the documentation 1st.

I've spent some time updating the User's Manual. Take a look and let me know what you think

Cool! Nice job... ;)

There are only a few minor issues:
- missing letter on page 3 last row;
- mixed capitals in the protocol binding table;
- sound.ini is missing from the directory structure's table;
- overview mentions telemetry as possible data on the main page;
- does the battery level still have graphical indication, as the main page legend states? (BTW telemetry appears there too);
- the next is a bit overstatement: "The number of boxes, their size and location, and their contents can all be controlled from here.";
- there is a reference error on the mixer list that supposed to refer to the model page;
- you could mention, that clicking on the curve opens the curve editor too;
- missing space: "COL Invoptions";

Of course there might be more, but I found just these...

This documentation is lightyears ahead of Walkera's user manuals! :lol:

The documentation looks real good. It is quite clear, complete and straight forward. And as FDR stated, it is clearer and more complete that what comes with the Tx when you buy it from the manufacturer.

The explanations and examples for the mixer given at the end of the document are very welcome and dispel some potential confusion about using the mixer.

OK, I've updated the one in the downloads with it, and put it into the menu too...

How close is the release?
