Devo7e work

Cheers,
I've tried the bffc70489f1f build for 7e with the devo10 file system. My first attempt was the build from post #1 in the 7e thread and 2.1.1 devo10file system.
Both seem to work on the 7e but both also start up with a "Bad/missing protocol modules!" dialogue?

This is my first attempt with the 7e, I'm running official builds with huge success on my 8s and 6s.
What have I done wrong and how can I install a dfu/fs combo that has the module for dsm2/x?

Cheers again and thanks in advance, Stefan

Yep, that did the trick.

Many thanks!

Well that a side i can honestly say I've got a proper smile on my face :)First thought was this is very tiny TX and what i saw of text on screen nothing too great. Once installed I'm thinking I'll quite like this TX. Could be me but text looks a lot better. Few other things i really like trim sound, really do miss trim levers. Other stuff but you all know this all ready Did notice minor bug in one of the menu options but for now can't remember it's name.

If this wrong place to post this just move it, sorry.

Genius CP WK2601 RX
Servo's all work, checked.
Read manual and wk280pro didn't work for me so used WK2601. Its on 7 channel but had same problem with 6 (checked again). Have swapped servo leads around but pitch only moves a tiny amount but normal on other channel ports. Guess rx could be damaged but only flew it for 3/4 flights year ago and there is some movement.



Thanks, Phil

I'm using WK2601 and have used 6 channel and 7 channel but don't see 6+1 unless you mean 7?

you mean this ..
[protocol_opts]
Chan mode=6+1
COL Inv=Normal
COL Limit=0

just edited it and added 6+1 but don't see on TX where to do it ?

Excellent it moves. Didn't see that menu
Thanks

You set wrong swash type that's why you can only use 2601 mode,
you should set "SwashType=None" then it can work in 2801 mode
or use attached ini file.



good luck.

Well there's nothing simple with walkera.
Looking forward to flying GCP again.
Thanks for the help.

I had ago but no joy, no surprise there then

Kinda odd this. I tried using your ini and worked kinda but pitch was upside down. Which was a little odd.
I'm wondering if you have WK servo's installed as they work wrong way round. I had to swap pots wires around when i used HK servos to make them behave like WK servos. Hoping it's not needed anymore to be honest

So, i managed to get the shield of. Wasn't the easiest job though.
As you can see on my image there was a insane amount of solder on the antenna corner so my iron could not melt it there.

I had to cut of that tab and leave it in place.




Is it the component at A that needs to be bridged if one wants to increase the transmit power?

RandMental wrote: I don’t suggest it will damage the TX, but if the power stage, its power supply and antenna matching are not designed for levels above 10dBm/10mW, we could generate serious noise (harmonics) all over the band and have signal integrity problems. A combination of over modulation, high power supply impedance and low battery voltage at these >10dBm levels will result in reduced range and an unreliable signal. (and then Deviation firmware gets blamed - sorry guys, some hard earned Amateur Radio RF experience coming through here)

Im guessing lowering the transmit power setting in deviation would avoid this if its the case? Im asking as its very unlikely ill be able to bridge these tiny components in a way that it can easily be undone.
Worst case id have to remove the diode and bridge the gap with solder.


As for bugs
Occasionally when i bind to my v939 and v911 i get a very short range, even though the tx is set at 150 mW.

Right, well that screws up my plan.

Going to have to figure out what to do now. As theres just no room around those tiny components there.

And the big xtal dosnt help as it makes them harder to reach.

Seems the only way might be to remove the diode with a Surgical knife and then somehow bridge it. Either with solder, or some form of electrically conductive glue or paint.
