Deviation User Manual for Jumper T8SG, Release 5.0

On the F7 and F12E, do not enable USB mode, as the file system cannot be accessed from the desktop,

and you need to use the ‘File Manager’ tab on the ‘Deviation Uploader’ to manage files.

For transmitters other than the F7 and F12E, turn the transmitter back on while holding ‘ENT’. There should

be a USB logo on the screen. If this is a first-time install of Deviation, your computer may prompt to format

a drive. Format using default options.

2.5 Upgrading the file system with Deviation Uploader

The Devo F7 and F12E do not support access via USB. Do not turn it on, as formatting the disk from your

desktop will destroy your deviation installation.

If you followed the foregoing instructions for installing the deviation firmware ZIP file for your Devo using

the Deviation Uploader tool, your installation is complete and no further installations are necessary. If, on

the other hand, you unzipped the file and installed the firmware dfu file alone, then your must continue

by installing the library dfu file from the same location. There is no advantage in doing the installation this

way, but it can be done.

2.6 Deviation 5.0

The long-awaited firmware update from version 4.0.1 to version 5.0 was accomplished on April 30, 2016

and was announce on the DeviationTx website forum. Deviation version 5.0 is the current version and it

includes all patches, bug fixes, improvements and protocols of the previous version. Even so, development

continues, so new controllers will be added to the support list as well as new protocols and features, when

they become available.

2.7 Nightly Deviation Builds

The Nightly builds are versions of Deviation with additional features beyond the Deviation 5.0 release

version. The Nightly builds are provided to allow the Deviation community to fully exercise new features

so the community can provide feedback and suggestions for improvement. As a user, you recognize that

Deviation is a community supported software system, and members of this community can contribute by

verifying, validating or commenting on the features that they’ve used. Nightly builds are found at http:

//www.deviationtx.com/downloads-new/category/13-nightly-builds

These builds are published when new features are added to the Deviation core feature set, when major

bugs are corrected and when new hardware support is added. The nightly builds are tested but not to the

rigorous extent of a full release. Please read this post! http://www.deviationtx.com/forum/5-news-

The ONLINE User Manual for Deviation is regularly reviewed and updated to include information about

new common features. Additionally, while best efforts are made by the Deviation community to update

these User Guides, this documentation MAY NOT fully describe the features of the nightly builds. Any

Deviation user with an update or change to the manual can submit additions and changes via the
