Also, if you've one of the firsts x-in-1, the LNA is not working for the nrf24l01 and the a7105, this is a known issue, this has been fixed in the last revisions.

Weird thing to add, i got a second X6B rx for another build and it never drops the telemetry link..Not sure if it's a newer firmware version or maybe my first one is just buggy...Both are labeled with the same version# on them..

So i thought i would try updating the firmware on the rx i have to see it it stops the telemetry drop outs and thanks to these instructions which i followed exactly my rx is completely dead and will not power on and the stlink will no longer connect to it at all...
So anybody wanting to update there firmware i advise against it...
github.com/povlhp/FlySkyRxFirmware

EDIT: Figured it out the ground wire came loose on the STM stick...Got it flashed and still get the momentary drop outs on the telemetry..Don't understand whats the difference between the 2 x6b's i have but the last one i got does not drop the telemetry link at all..Perhaps i will order another one to see if it does or not just out of curiosity ...

I think I have mentioned it before just checking with you. I have an issue with the ranges offset in betaflight.

ibus - betaflight, just setting a 3 pole switch deviation 100% scale.
I read in betaflight 1000 - 1497 - 1994.
It should be 1000 - 1500 - 2000

My main question, anyone who can test with original flysky transmitter ?
Is it the same behaviour?

Perhaps that's a rounding error, I'll check that when I get back home in 2 weeks.

A quick workaround could be, if possible, adjusting subtrims and/or using rxrange commands in BF CLI.

I really can´t imagine why this is so important for the aux channels. Please tell me...
I think, this is only useful for the stick channels, the aux channels can be properly setup with the sliders in the mode section.
As far as I remember, I even restricted the weight for all switches in prior years using PPM. >>(signal frame size)

Yes I just used switch channels 100% to prove /confirm the issue, I see same indeed also on sticks, but that could be affected by calibration worn out sticks etc.....

Indeed you can trim fly etc, but just wondering if it is deviation, betaflight.......

AFHDS2A protocol data packet

s32 value = (s32)Channels[ch] * 0x1f1 / CHAN_MAX_VALUE + 0x5d9;

0x5d9 = 1497

So it confirms then it is not Betaflight....
So is the same scale when using an original Flysky Tx and IBUS ??

I took the formula from the AFHDS (flysky) protocol, I'll fix it when I get back home.

Hmm maybe need to double check to be sure to find the real situation.....
Now from what I can remember that S-Bus and I-Bus ranges did not line up, so when switching between those ranges are different S-bus sbus 1030-1515-2000......

to be confirmed....

Sbus is weird, that's expected

I'm sorry if this has already been mentioned in the thread somewhere, but from what I understand, the protocol has been cracked, right? Is there any version of the code for an arduino, to make a module similar to the multipro one?

Hi everyone,

first of all, thanks for all the work on this project.

Regarding the protocol, I just noticed a strange behaviour of RSSI with X6B receiver (I have a Devo7e with standalone nrf24l01 and A7105 modules):
Connecting the quadcopter to my laptop via USB I get real time variation of RSSI on my transmitter; on the contrary, if I use the battery to power on the aircraft, RSSI value changes with a big delay like if it is losing signal.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I have also found this www.deviationtx.com/forum/6-general-disc...power-afhds-2a#64720
It seems that TX power is set only in afhds2a_init(). So, if TX power is changed after powering on the transmitter, it is not set correctly.

I got a new X6B RX, binds to Devo 7E standard, not ultimate, FW is nightly build deviation-devo7e-v5.0.0-ef04024 (June 2017).
I've telemetry RSSI, LQI, RX V. But no external voltage sensor data

. Is it only available on devo7e-256?
How can I get battery voltage? Could I get it from FC SP Racing F3 (Wizard X220) through the iBus port?
Thanks

Edit: No OSD, so telemetry is what I need

It's not available on 7e (no EXTENDED_TELEMETRY), it's available in ultimate (devo7-256).

Thanks Goebish.
Do you think it's worth trying to do a custom build (no experience building deviation).

@daniel.snowsurf I've hacked a 7e firmware with extended telemetry support for FrSky D & AFHDS 2A protocols at the expense of a few disabled stuffs (VIBRATINGMOTOR, MULTIMOD_SUPPORT, 4IN1FLASH). Also, I had to use size optimization flag for armgcc, I'm not sure this doesn't have any side effects, but everything seems to be fine, this firmware has been used by a few people since June already.
build: www.dropbox.com/sh/v1ckkohd8nmlc5a/AAA_n..._wCGMl8qbdtOgRa?dl=0
source: github.com/goebish/deviation/tree/7e_extended_telem

I'll probably not maintain it, that will be up to you to merge this branch with current master in order to update your build (if even possible, this build is already using most of the available flash space: 114.61kB out of 116kB).

ps: special thanks to my old armgcc toolchain (4.8.3) that produces smaller binaries than the current versions

Yes, you could make an AVR version of the Multi Module with only an Arduino + A7105, it has the AFHDS 2A protocol:
github.com/pascallanger/DIY-Multiprotocol-TX-Module

I was using an simple arduino+a7105 module similar to the nrf24 multipro when I started hacking this protocol but I think I never completed the implementation ...
