You should start by reading the
latest instructions
.
And then if there's something else you'd like to know, ask again here.

Hi, I installed cc2500 (aliexpress) and a7105 on my devo 8. actually want to bind frsky D4Rii with my devo 8. I have tried both installation instructions (5->10 and 7->9 ) and used the latest nightly builds 29/03/2015 (deviation-devo8-v4.0.1-32d9fa7.zip) . But still could not manage to bind my devo 8 with the D4rii.I tried to bind my Genius cp and devo 8 bind with no problem. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I've looked over your images and don't see any issues. Have you checked the connections with a multimeter? I hate to ask, but you do have an antenna for the cc2500, right? You know the binding procedure for the D4Rii? I seem to recall these having an odd binding mechanism. I will go double check that the protocol still works on my module. Haven't tested it for a while.

Hi, Thanks for ur reply. Yes i have antenna for the module and i checked twice with my multimeter but could not find any problem. I watched the binding procedure for the D4Rii on youtube. My 250Quad is ready but stuck with the transmitter.

I just checked with my D6FR, and it bound right up. My radio isn't using the same module you are though. have you tried the old wiring scheme (pin 9 tied to 3.3V and pin10 to gnd I think)? it shouldn't be necessary, but it might help.
What binding procedure are you using exactly? Deviation doesn't bind in quite the same way the official Tx does. Also, you aren't getting any errors about the CC2500 not being available, are you? if not, the cc2500 must be detected, and should be working. You don't see an '*' next to the Frsky protocol do you?
My bind procedure is:
Turn on Deviation Transmitter
Set protocol to Frsky
Make sure Telemetry is off (just to be sure)
Set Fixed ID to 123456
turn on the Rx while holding the bind button down (get dual flashing lights)
press 'bind' button on the Model menu.
wait for bind menu to go away
turn off rx
turn off tx

Thanks for the reply. My tx doesn't show any errors and there is no * next to frsky. My bind procedure same as yours. if you could give me any link showing your cc2500 module, than i will try to get one of that. Or should i buy a cc2500 from Skyartec?

Having the same issue: devo 8s will not bind with d4r-ii. using seby docky video for binding guidance
here is what i have going on:
-Deviated Devo 8s w/ latest nightly build
-Ali express cc2500 module installed www.aliexpress.com/item/CC2500-PA-LNA-wi...-2-4G/359941652.html
-jumped pins 5 to 10, and 7 to 9 on module as per instructions.
-antenna connected, protocol frsky appears with no star, everything enabled correctly by removing ";" on the cyrf module, cc2500 module, and a7105 module. PA's also enabled
-A7105 module works with no issue (test flew a proto x with it)
-checked solder and wires over and over, everything is matching up.
Will now keep checking wires as well as trying alternate scheme suggested by P.Blue (9 and 10 pins to power and ground).
If anybody already has a solution and it works for me I will buy them a beer!

wired pin 9 to power (pin 1), and pin 10 to ground (pin 6). pins 5 and 7 were left empty- unconnected.
the effect is the same, still unable to bind to d4r-ii with my deviated 8s.

Just an idea.
You may have one of the CC2500 modules with shifted base frequency.
You may need to tweak the "fine" variable. Ask somebody here tells you how to do that.

I'll try it, does anybody here know how to tweak the fine variable? Or where to look it up?
