Futaba S-FHSS was created by victzh

First version of implementation of Futaba's S-FHSS protocol reverse engineered using third party hardware, XK and Orange, is in pull requests.

It's my small anniversary - 10th protocol I either reversed, or actively participated in reversing.

It's also a new chip for me - CC2500. All my previous protocols used nRF24L01.

Enjoy!

No. Actually, bundled receivers support only T-FHSS, and though transmitter can use S-FHSS, I can't verify my code against genuine receiver.

So I'm still thinking.

Anyone know if this is the same as the FHSS used in the Tamiya Finespec pistol TXs ? Their 4-channel "Attack" TX lists an alternate RX as the Futaba R204GF-E , which says it's S-FHSS, so don't know if the Finespec would be using the same FHSS protocol?

If so, would one of the cheapie non-PA CC2500's have enough range to cover a typical RC car track? ie. well less than 50m distance? My wife got me a re-release Tamiya Hornet a while ago and it came with the Finespec, would love to be able to choose either the finespec OR my Devo.
Alternately, can one of the cheapie CC2500's and an arduino be used to receive the Finespec if this protocol is now known? I could then retro-fit my "vintage" Tamiya Frog with a cross-compatible diy receiver rather than using DSM2...

Check this list - www.futabarc.com/receivers/fhss-s-fhss-compat.html - it says that R204GF-E is S-FHSS compatible.

If Tamiya implemented two protocols - their own and S-FHSS - then their native receivers can be incompatible. So it's for you to test it!

I got this error when I tried to build the Windows emulator:

I'll fix it tonight. Just wanted to use consts instead of defines, it appears not all compiler can propagate constness correctly.

Sorry for this mess!

Please try again. Should work now.

Out of curiosity, what compilers fail on this? My GCC 4.7.0 20111219 did not even squeak. And rightfully so, the "offending" declaration is perfectly valid.

It's OK now.
I use a MinGW environment on Windows, wich is quite old: I installed it when this project started, so the gcc version is 4.6.2...

Should I update it?

Apparently my compiler understands const expressions better. I updated the compiler only when I moved to another machine - you never know when it breaks. @mwm set up compilation environment for continuous integration, we probably need to ask him what he uses.

So you might not get this warning either, do you?

+ Compiling 'target/common/emu/radio.c'
target/common/emu/radio.c: In function 'MCU_GetPinName':

No, I don't see this either. I don't build the emulator - I work on protocols only and I don't need it.

And I did not touch this code, but it should be trivial to fix. Try replacing line 106:

         if(port->pin == (1 << i)) {

with

         if(port->pin == (1u << i)) {

Oh no problem, I just tried to investigate what other differences my old gcc can cause.
It's just a warning anyway...

...but it would be interesting what other differences might be there...
