I'm not sure how to set up telemetry.. but it is available, I think Elrs lua in deviation is better than edgetx.. so funny

Does anyone know if telemetry is available on upgraded devo7e? Since it should now have enough memory to support it. Thanks

i feel like i am so close to having this done but its time to quit this dead end. thx all

Thanks guys that's great. I am gonna start ordering the parts.

me again. As shown in the photos, the upgrade is now finished. The wires for the ELRS TX have been pulled from the trainer/game port. GND and 2xSignal. V+ (5V) from pin 6 of the Pin-Out where the original TX module sits.
I first wanted to replace the original module with the ELRS one... but after getting "missing module" error, i came to realise, that it was also possible to operate both modules in paralel. Found a place beneath the battery bay. (make sure to isolate/cover the screw heads in order to prevent shorts). Since there were now two modules, i needed two antennas. screwed two holes on the top of the back cover and installed two antena mounting screws. I guess it looks better now, since the old antenna was pretty huge. After cutting off the "knob" of the old antenna holder, it should even look better.
Hope the sequence of the last posts helps others, who are also thinking of upgrading their radios.

Hello, I did it almost the same way, but on a devo 7e. And those 5v are a little less, it runs a betafpv nano module fine. Only one issue.. when the radio vibrates for notifications, sometimes the module disconnects. Flying at 10mw. There was a power mod for devo 7e, might try it someday ) Other than that it's quite reliable, no issues or missing functionality at all! ..I did maybe 20 packs.

Hi,
only did a bench test so far, which worked fine. Weather is cold currently. Will take some time before fyling around with this setup.
But once you did the mod, you may share your expirience with us.

Hi
I am planning to do exactly the same upgrade, for my Devo 7E.
Have you bind your TX to a model with ELRS receiver? How it performs?

Hi all,

after some additional research the signal wire seems to be connected to the Trainer Port.
Is it sufficient to use the illustrated Signal wire at the very bottom, the GND and V+ to have it working?
In the post above, it says that one of the middle wires needs to be utilized as well... (both siglan plus one of the middle wires) but which one exaclty?
Any hint is much appretiated.

Thx + BR

Hi all,

wanted to give ashort update.
The update onto "devo10-v5.0.0-408f8c0" worked like a charm.
In the meantime i soldered together a DIY TX Module (based on ESP32 with E28 TX Chip) as shown in on of the photos. I flashed the current ELRS version on it Release 3.3.2. Is it required to downgrade it?
I wanted to replace the old module with the ELRS DIY TX module. Before burning up something and to be on the safe side... where exactly do i solder up the three wires Signal, GND and V+?

I found some schema illustrating the pin-outs as well as soldering points on the board... however those were referring for the 4in1 module. Is it correct, that i can pull GRD and V+ from pin-out. Pin 6 for V+ and GRD 3 or 8? Which pin od soldering point on the board do i use for the signal cable?

Appretiate your feedback.

Thank you + BR

It works now, so I can also confirm that Devo 7E works with ELRS modules.

Thank you very much Hexfet for your development which keeps our beloved Deviation TXs alive.

Hello
I also want to install an ELRS module to my Devo 7E. But I need to know if it works as an every day transmitter to control a quad. If it's a reliable RC link, without causing runaways, or sadden disarms, or other issues in Betaflight. And what range it gives you.
Thanks

I found in my research that there is also the option to install Betaflight on the Rodeo 110 flight controller. Perhaps that would be the better choice, as everything can be set and configured here. You can find information on Betaflight on the Rodeo FC here, for example:

Yes thank you, I do see a 3-way switch mod, and will definitely do this for both of the 2-way switches on the Devo 7e.

I dont know if its possible to find out if there is a function on the Rodeo receiver for this channel because there is so little info on the internet about this model, but I will try ask on RCgroups.

The quick start manual is the only manual for this mode unfortunately.

Hello,
I am trying to use Spectrum variometer SPMA9589 with my Walker devo 6 with firmware 5.0.0. I use Spectrum TM1000. An altitude menu does not appear on the telemetry screen. What can be done to get the data out of the variometer? Is it possible to get a different beep when ascending and descending?

Google for "Devo 7e 3 way switch" you will find solutions

The devo 7e has only a 2-way switch so I am guessing it will only have 2 values there, correct? So if for now I program them as -100% and 0%, would that correspond to Stabilize and intermediate modes?
It would also be possible that 0% and + 100% the right once. You have to try it out.

Btw, what do the Hold and Fmod switches usually do?
As "Hold" i understand with the Redeo that the Motors can´t run like arm and disarm. "Fmod" is Flight Mode: You can use it for several options. May you can use it for various settings maybe in Expo and Dual Rate. But these are programming and settings in Deviation.

So beware: Maybe there is a function stored in the RX of the Rodeo when you send a 0% or 100% on this channels. So be careful and try to find it out before.

I only find a Rodeo 110 Quick Start Manual. Is there not a complete one avialable?

Thanks for your help with this, much appreciated. I will start with Channel 5 because in the video he pointed to the Mix switch and said that's the Gear channel.

Btw, what do the Hold and Fmod switches usually do?

The channel sequence of the Devo is EATR for the first four channels, which means Elev,Aile,Thro, Rudd.

According to the table on page 12 of the operating instructions, the next three channels are Gear, Flap, Aux2. Gear is channel 5, so Flap should be channel 6 and Aux2 channel 7.

I would continue the search, link channels 5 - 7 to the desired switches accordingly and simply try it out.

I also searched a little with Goggle and also didn't find a config file or a description.

I see the video was not added...
Have a look at 5mins 20 secs.

So I have tried to do some research and understand what you are explaining. I don't have a Devo 7 in order to check whuch channel and what values are being used and have found no help on Google or Youtube. The only video I could find that explained this was this one below, and it seems he is saying that those toggles and switches belong to aux 1, aux 2 and aux 3 channels but this still doesnt tell me which channels numbers those correspond to nor which one controls those settings for the Rodeo 110.

Hello guys

I am looking for a Rx with 10 channels or + compatible with Devo 10 on deviation.

Do you have any recommandation?

Thanks for your help
