Great! I already put telemetry on mine, I hope that 78 is a safe RSSI value

Updated to test build 50f6e42 today. My two Bugs 3s were able to bind and fly without any issues.
My Bugs 6 would not bind until I deleted the fixed id, and replaced it using the new build. It was then fine.
The newly obtained fixed id was the same value as the previous one - fixed_id=-1382767019.

With vertical antenna it worked really better, I think that I will mod the canopy.
I just used a drow and hot glue for testing purpose.
I will also do some indoor test through walls, good idea.

I used a 2009 Notebook with Windows XP Pro when I first learnt to setup my Jumper. Here's a video I made about it.
I did not need any additional drivers, just the Defuse program.


I can't help with any more recent MS products, as I don't use them. I now use my Mint Linux desktop PC - java for flashing new dfu files, and file manager (caja) to copy files back and forth to the Jumper in USB Thumb drive mode.

Dfuse USB Upgrade Tools 2.31 is all that most people seem to need on a Windows PC.
I hacked my Jumper when the USB port failed, installing an external USB port.

For the Linux option, see -
www.deviationtx.com/forum/7-development/...or-usbcode?start=140
My comment on how I successfully used it is the most recent on the forum. (Page 8).

Thanks, auto bind when you turn on T8SG very well. This appeared in the latest test firmware ?

I noticed that auto bind works in both ways, by switching on tx first or B3 first.
I Think that this could really help in regaining control after loosing connection in flight for few moments.

I still cant get Devo DfuSe USB upgrade tool to recognize the T8SG. As I can see the jumper in USB mode, can I simply overwrite the files manually without the tool and get the same results? Thanks in advance.

To turn on the DFuSe mode, you need to hold down the back key and press briefly on the power.
Could install the wrong driver, remove it from device Manager along with the software. Then run "DFU USBDrv Installer-1.1" and choose there
"Install Walkera USB driver". And run again in DFuSe mode.
I had the same, apparently the driver was already standing but for another device

It worked!!! thanks so much everyone!!!!!.. I'm in the club...lol The only thing I noticed is I did not have to edit the .ini file on the T8SG as after it bound to the copter it binded with a 10 digit number that was in the second column on the spreadsheet... I simply turned it off and back on and I was golden, after configuring switches it is off the ground.. TYTYTY!!!

On windows 10 I didn't have any problem or driver request, everything worked at first try. Also no ini edit, but probably that was for older firmwares.
