DEVO 10 FIRMWARE UPGRADE was created by generalcontractor
I have a DEVO 10 and a Walkera QRX350 Pro Quadcopter, I am trying to upgrade the firmware on the DEVO 10, version 0.8A and Library 0.2. I can't find any place where I can upgrade the firmware and library. Need help. Also, is this a necessary thing to upgrade? Also, if I do find information on the transmitter upgrade do I also need to upgrade the Quad to 1.5?

OK... great... in a feat of rushing, instead of just looking at the firmware he has, he's tried to change the antenna, and ripped off the antenna connector on the transmission module... do you know where to get a replacement one? Or if the WK-2402 module can be used, as I have 2 of those radios just lying around doing nothing...?

As I remember the 2402 doesn't have a separate RF mudule but it is integrated on the main board.
It doesn't have a PA and not telemetry capable either...

It does have a seperate RF module, part number WK-2408-RF, with the typical 10 pin header at the bottom. I don't know about PA, and the telemetry part is understandable.

You are right.
I've just opened mine. It has a WK-2408-RF v2.1, and it looks quite similar to those in the DEVO.
It has the same 10 pin header, which has the ground on the middle pins of each row, just like in the DEVO.
Other pins should be checked, but it might work.

Since it is a fix 10mW transmitter it definitely doesn't have a PA.
See the attached schemantics...

Yes it should work, I already used the 2402 module for tinkering, but as you said it has no pa/lna ...
Pinout

edit: you may be able to salvage the ipex connector only to replace the ripped one on your stock module, or buy some new ones, they are cheap:

You can also remove the connector and solder the antenna directly ...

That's what I said... problem is he's damaged it in such a way that he can't even just solder the antenna direct.

I found a few links of replacement modules, basically the "6 to 6S" and "8 to 8S" upgrade ones, but they are all out of stock everywhere at the moment.
