I don't think you have to add anything to the tx.ini file. The user would know what mods have been done to his transmitter.
The switches (connected or not) could have fixed names, and it is up to the user to select the switches for his configuration.

This is pretty much like the differences between any two tx's, they have different types and number of knobs and switches, and if you don't have them you can't use them.

The only difference is that on an unmodded tx you could select switches you don't have.

For the first time users of Deviation, those switches could perhaps be marked with '*' to point out that they are optional hardware.

Oh, and by the way, great idea with the 3.1 release.

Nice, I can contribute to test out the 3.1.0 pre-release in my normal flight.

Ok, just to be clear. The plan is to use the latest nightly (as it is) to be the 3.1 release?

I will soon have an 8s to go along with my 12s and will be updateing to the latest nightly. Or will there be changes to the latest nightly before it goes to 3.1 status?

I think the plan is that the current nightly plus the few critical bug fixes will be the 3.1, then the programmers can look at adding features.

Yes, that's why I suggested this:

It will be fairly obvious that you have selected the wrong switch when you try to flick it and it's not there!

We will fix the most important issues in the nightlies, but not add additional features.
Even if the nightlies are stated to be more stable than the 3.0.0 is there are a few things which are not working correctly or can lead to a reset in bad conditions. Because we know them we can not ignore them...

#421: Devo 10 German Language file causes crashes

#423: Trim page doesn't save trim step changes
The green colored are already fixed, for the blue colored I have solutions.

I have solutions for #404, #412, #415 and #417 which I can add.
I also have done some work for increasing the accuracy of the touchscreen (#383) in Devo12 which was reported to be bad. I would like to add this too.

What about the rest?
And above only the bugs are listed. What about the proposals, enhancements...?

#32: Nine-Eagles binding with non-telemetry module
it's not really a bug, just not implemented
#56: Model won't re-connect when Tx is rebooted.
not a bug
#60: Fixed ID is not the same assigned by Walkera radios
#195: Virt channel as a source
there was no decision about this one
#334: devo10-v3.0.0 rebooted
#352: AR7200BX Compatibility Issue
#356: Errors.txt is not generated on Devo12
#360: Currently selected model not saved as current model
probably same as #389

I don't see any protocol options for Flysky at all... :unsure:
#420: Fatal reboot on DEVO 8S and 2.1.1 deviation
This bug probably has already corrected in v3.0.0


I would say, don't care about those, which you can't reproduce...

One of the first rules of QA, if you can't reproduce it, it never happened! ;)

I would say that priority one is squash bugs that result in a reboot or loss of control, those things are what causes accidents and injuries.

Agreed, but I will need some help with Devo7e and Devo10 transmitter (Devo6 has minor imprtance from my point of view).

Thank you for your evaluation.
I will restart work on deviation on Monday (perhaps some hours on Sunday).

Strange! It is there in the emu_devo10, but missing from the 8 and 12!

What kind of time frame are we looking at for this release? The 8s will be here next week so it will be my first test subject to the 3.1 firmware.

I am using current nightly build with this Rx without any problem. So I think we can just skip this one.

RBE, can you fix:
#360: Currently selected model not saved as current model
#389: Devo 12 Issue

It's very annoying when I change/view settings for several models.

#402: Telemetry box changed after model change

It's confuse me (and others) when changing models with Devo and DSM2/DSMX protocols.

I just looked into the code. I will check this.

My personal idea:
I can spend two more days for intense working on deviation (Monday and Tuesday next week), the other days I will have to work and care for the family... I hope I can solve some more issues (esp. #360, #389 which are annoying vlad; take a look in #402 but no way for testing due to a lack of Spektrum telemetry receivers here). Maybe I have a chance to confirm that #352 (AR7200BX) is no general problem this weekend.

So I hope the main issue fixing work will be done until the end of next week so we can publish a 3.1-alpha. We should take one week or two for testing and release the final 3.1 in mid-November.
