Custom firmware for RC Transmitters

Deviation firmware for RC transmitters

The Deviation firmware project is hosted at http://www.deviationtx.com

Current build status

There you can find links to:

• the wiki: http://www.deviationtx.com/wiki
• the forums for asking questions: http://www.deviationtx.com/forum

Building Deviation requires setting up a cross-compiler. On certain transmitters (like the devo7e), the firmware takes up nearly 100% of the available ROM, and we have found that only specific versions of the cross-compiler can build it successfully.

To facilitate building Deviation consistently, we have provided Docker images to guarantee consistent builds across platforms. Instruction for building with Docker can be found here: http://www.deviationtx.com/wiki/development/docker

While not recommended, other methods of building Deviation are documented here: http://www.deviationtx.com/wiki/development

Telemetry alarms strange behavior

I have the voice mod installed on T8SG V2 plus. The problem is not voice mod related, but better visible (or rather audiable) with it. I'm using the Flysky telemetry.

I set the telemetry alarms in the way that all 6 alarms are active at the same time.
Every 15 seconds the alarm is spoken. Here is the sequence of spoken alarms:
2333344556611222222222334455661111111112233445555555555566112233333333

Seems to me, that they are reported in sequence, usually twice for one alarm - but there are sometimes longer sequences of the same alarm. Working that way they are not so usefull. If the system "locks" on one type of the alarm (i.e. low battery) the next alarm can be held for more then one minute before reported. Or more than 3 minutes if no luck. With less number of active alarms at the same time the problem is the same.

My suggestion is to:
Report the new alarm imidietly after the occurence if the alarm was not active before.
Report every active alarm in a sequence after the time interval as it is being done now, but change the reported alarm type on each report. So, for all 6 alarms active it should go 123456123456.

As additional functionality I suggest not to play the alarm for the same sensor if the sensor is configured twice (or more) in the alarms list. For instance, if I set two alarms for VBAT1 and the condition for both alarms is active, then play only the first alarm of this sensor.

If I enter the telemetry page and then return to the main screen alarns are deactivated?

Jumper T8SG V2 Plus reversed horizontal stick directions.

Mode 2 Jumper T8SG V2 Plus Transmitter.
The horizontal stick values (for both sticks) goes from the right to the left, rather than from the left (lower values) to the right (higher values) as it is "normal" in other transmitters. In most cases it means that the channel has to be reversed. Can the default be changed to the most "natural" order? Or is any setting to do this? The vertical values goes from the bottom to the top, which seams to be ok.

Some protocols doesn't work in devo7e (modular build)

So far I notice:

1. CRSF
2. SBUS
3. WFLY

Hubsan drones and Jumper T8SG V2 plus

I need help with the Jumper. My drones are Hubsan. I have configured the H122D and the H501S, and I have managed to fly them a couple of times, but most of the attempts I can not start engines. If we talk about the H122D I have it configured with the Hubsan protocol and subprotocol 107, when I have flown it has been perfect but I change the battery I try to start motors and I do not get it anymore.
What I can be doing wrong?.
The same thing happens with the H501S, which I have configured not with H107, but H501S, has also flown perfect, without GPS, I do not think it can be activated, but the same thing happens, many times I can not start engines and I do not know why.

Unstaged changes

Now I have two unstaged changes even if I don't change anything:

Binary files a/install_nightlies.tar.enc and b/install_nightlies.tar.enc differ
src/target/common/devo/msc2/lib/stm32f10x_flash.c

I think it can be related to:

Help me :/ Unable to boot and some CYRF6936 error message

I have two trouble and not sure the two was link together :/

Yesterday, i have got this message on my radio : "CYRF6936 missing", it's a jumper T8SG, but i only use for FrSky (nothing special append (no fall or something else)).

So i think, ok maybe try to flash firmware, it's can be better.
So i download the lase Nightly Builds deviation-t8sg-v5.0.0-04f8983.zip and flash it, format sd card copy zip content on it.

My radio still bootloop and get this CYRF6936 missing X_x.

I need help, also i see an error file, so here the content :

Music_saving only implemented on B&W screens

It should be played on respective color screen pages as well

Add GPS altitude and speed to telemetry alerts

Shouldn't be too hard, but nice to have.

Mainpage config doesnt work properly

On my Devo 12s i have the problem that when i try to move e.g. the trim bar. that i have to click on the trimbar, then i can move it one Pixel. Selection is lost. Then i have again to click on the trim bar to move it one pixel.

FrskyX Timing

i get very sporadic telemetry with FrskyX in LBT EU mode.
First i had the same problems with multimodule, but (thx to) MikeBlandford got it fixed.
https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=38484818&postcount=10107

Could these be tested and implemented in Deviation, please

Trim in Elevon Mode

Hi,
I am using a T8SG in elevon mixing mode and I observe that the trim buttons only move one of the control surfaces instead of both. For elevon mixed mode, the trim should mix using the elevon missing settings, ie, trim should move the control surfaces simultaneously.

Thank you.

Loss of binding on Devo Protocol

I have experienced with my devo 12s a binding loss as I was finalizing the set up of a model. Each time I put the right stick of the tx full up the binding was lost and the rx led flashed. I changed the alim of the Rx, changed the Rx, Same Result. I formated my USB drive and reloaded the firmware without change. Finally I reproduced the bug on my Devo 8s after having loaded on it my model file.
In fact the binding was erratic because I used a fixed ID but when the Rx light flashed some channels were blocked.
After more investigation I found that the binding could be not lost if the value of the scale+ in a channel set up was reduced to a certain value. (in the model file included channel 7 scale + reduced to 167.)

This could come, from expert advice (FDR) from an overflow of the channel value, which makes the packet invalid.

Problem Momentary Trim on LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN key

Hi,
I think momentary Trim on LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN key doesn't work well.

I join a full model for your test
model3.txt

in this model Timer1 is reset on Right press.
But when i test it not reset by right but by left press.

the test procedure :
1 : up THR to start timer
2 : press Right ==> nothing append
3 : press Left ==> timer is reset.

if you change pos value in trim5 to Down like this :
pos=Down
1 : up THR to start timer
2 : press Right ==> timer is reset
3 : press Left ==> timer is reset.

then why timer is reset by LEFT key ?
thanks

[TODO] Cleanup Music API usage in protocols

There are couple of protocols are using MUSIC APIs. this is not right behavior as protocol should not impact the user experience. Someone need analyze the needs for protocols and expose some APIs from PROTOCOL apis for those protocols to consume.

Flysky telemetry - the second temperature and maybe altitude?

Could the second temperature sensor be allowed, as it is a place in the telemetry screen for two temperatures? The code only reads the first one.

There is also a Turnigy TGY-CAT01 Altitude Sensor . It seems to have an implementation on FS-i6X transmitter telemetry. As I don't have one yet I can not tell for sure how it works, but it will be a nice completion for the Flysky telemetry.

Filesystem corruption on Devo 12E

I’m filing this to (hopefully) get this old thread more attention. There are (AFAICT) two severe issues with Deviation on Devo 12E. I’m not sure whether they are related or not.

1. The Deviation uploader doesn’t support Devo 12E; one has to use an old version of the Dfuse tool to flash it.
2. After flashing Deviation with Dfuse and creating / restoring the filesystem, any filesystem accesses over USB other than reads clobber the filesystem so that Devo 12E won’t boot any more. Subsequent attempts to mount the filesystem show ugly binary randomness where file names used to be. Writing the files once, all in one go, onto a freshly formatted FAT12 and without any subsequent modifications, seems to work just fine though.

The obvious problem with the filesystem inconsistency is that (1) it makes it much harder to edit / duplicate your model files over USB and (2) it leaves one wondering whether the problem only affects USB accesses or whether model editing directly on the radio could (theoretically) also be affected.

I also run Deviation on a Devo 10 and it’s just rock solid stable, no filesystem corruption ever. So either I have a flawed Devo 12E specimen or there’s indeed a data consistency issue on Devo 12E.

Bar graphs not using full screen width in input monitor when reducing available inputs

Related to #248
When having for example PPM in as input extension and you go into input monitor, it will display the additional channels. When disabling PPMin and going back into input monitor, you will see less bars displayed per row.

T8SG V2 datalog signature

Currently it is the same as the Devo 7e, (0x7e) which is wrong, as the Devo 7e has different datalog entries for buttons and no aux channels. It should be changed to whatever unique for T8SG V2.

T8SG V2 Plus - voice volume on turn-on

Using dfplayer and setting the voice volume, the system ignores the volume setting intermittently on turn on and boots with the welcome message at full volume. after boot the voice commands following are at the correct volume.

Trainer cable crashes T8SG

Hello there. I'm new here and i hope this is the right place.

When I connect my Jumper t8sg to a buddy box (used different boxes) with an "S cable" or a "Trainer cable" to the aux cable, the Jumper's transmitter settings get wiped and reset to defualts (12.00 voltage warning for example).

This doesn't happen right away but after a while. It seems to be connected to the throttle (stick 1 up and down) because the Jumper also only recognized +- 2 (instead of +- 100) on that channel. and it seems to happen when i configure the throttle in the PPM in settings.

When i turn the radio on it warns of low battery and can't save. It also starts from "Model 207" when turned on. Nothing I do will save and the only way to rectify this is by flashing.

I assume this has something to do with the power from the buddy box creating a surge of some sort which resets and/or hardlocks somthing in the Jumper.

Thanks for helping!

Any user defined txid greater than 0x7fffffff is not working correctly

Any user defined txid greater than 0x7fffffff is not working correctly due to a typo/mistake in config/hardware.c on line 107:
is:
Transmitter.txid = strtol(value, NULL, 16);
should be:
Transmitter.txid = strtoul(value, NULL, 16);

(Currently txid's 0x7fffffff thru 0xffffffff are the same)

T8SG V2 startup screen.

I’ve installed the latest (nightly) firmware on my T8SG v2 controller and evertything is working super fine! Many thanks for that. There’s just one issue that I’d like to report here; each time I turn on the T8SG there is a popup showing “Ch3 is -6%, safe value = -100”. This message is blocking the controllers operation, I have to press enter to get rid of the popup before the controller starts working.

Is this intentional? Or can I change the configuration so that the controller starts working immediately without the popup? Hope you can help me. Many thanks.

Is it maybe a BUG is the software of "Deviation"? (FrSky)

Hello dear friends!

With Frsky receivers there are unfortunately very strong range issues. Me and a friend of mine get a failsave after like 50-100 meters with Frsky!

"FrSky R-XSR Ultra SBUS / CPPM D16 16CH Mini Redundancy Receiver 1.5g for RC Multirotor FPV Racing Drone"

Does anyone else have the problem?

On "afdhs 2a" there were no range issues so far with an x6b reciever Unfortunately the receiver is too big for some builds.

This is the one: "Flysky X6B 2.4G 6CH i-BUS PPM PWM Receiver for AFHDS i10 i6s i6 i6x i4x Transmitter"

Are there any alternative for small recievers with rssi telemetry?

Commit e50fce3 - "Add ability to specify display scale/format string" doesn't work for virtual channels

https://www.deviationtx.com/forum/builds/7571-strange-behavior-of-devo-10

Flysky telemetry voltage alarms.

Flysky sensor AVT01 is reported on DeviationTX as VoltX (type 0) sensor. It is an older type sensor, reported by FS-i6X as "Internal voltage". This is the same type as the internal receiver sensor for receiver voltage.
Flysky sensor CVT01 is reported on DeviationTX as CX (type 3) sensor. This one is reported by FS-i6X as "external Voltage"
They both show on DeviationTX telemetry screen with the correct voltage values.
But:
The alarm for the Cell Type voltage can be set only up to 5.0V, which is the correct value for the cell of the battery, but not for the CVT01 sensor which AFAIK can be +/- 100V.
Also, the alarm value for the VoltX type sensor is limited to 13,3V, so also not enough for i.e. 4S battery.

FrSky telemetry from flight controller doesn’t show up with the latest R-XSR firmware

With the latest F.Port firmware for R-XSR I only get RSSI, but not the telemetry values from the FC (altitude, tension, current). Downgrading the R-XSR firmware to its February version restores law and order and I get all the telemetry data on my Devo 10 with a “standard” Banggood 4-in-1. (I’m using LBT.)

My first guess was that something must have changed in the F.Port implementation and therefore the RX doesn’t receive telemetry from the FC any more. It seemed plausible, until it turned out that Betaflight developers cannot reproduce the problem with their equipment; FrSky telemetry just works for them on OpenTX, no matter which receiver firmware version they use.

There must have been a change (buggy or intentional) that made the latest R-XSR firmware (at least the F.Port version) incompatible with Deviation in terms of telemetry.

Quick Pages do not work properly

With any added quick page, scrolling quick pages stops working. With 320x240 GUI scrolling quick pages doesn't work even with default settings.

So, Quick Pages feature is totally unusable.

Mux "beep" with the voice mod.

I have the voice mod installed on T8SG V2 plus.
I set the channel mixer to "beep" at a particular value.
When the value is reached on the channel then instead of the "beep" there is a "saving" word spoken.

When using the "voice" mux the correct sound file is used.
