CHAPTER 10
Protocols
Some protocols have additional customization or limits. Each of the protocols is described below. An
asterisk (‘*’) before the protocol name in the section header means a hardware module must be added to
the transmitter to support the protocol. On the transmitter display the asterisk means Deviation does not
detect the required module (not installed, hardware.ini not correct, or other issue communicating with
the module.) More information can be found in the Module installation guide:

10.1 Protocol: DEVO
The DEVO protocol is used to maintain compatibility with the Walkera DEVO receivers/models. This
protocol supports up to 12 channels. The DEVO protocol supports both auto-binding and manual-binding.
If Fixed ID is set to ‘None’ the transmitter will attempt to auto-bind with the receiver every time it is
powered on. If a value is set for Fixed ID, the receiver must be bound manually one-time using the ‘Bind’
button, after which it should stay bound. Note that the Fixed ID is only part of the binding procedure. Two
transmitters with the Same ID cannot control the same model.
The DEVO protocol also supports enabling/disabling the telemetry capability. This option is accessed by
pressing the Protocol spin-box when DEVO is shown.
The following fields are available in Devo Telemetry. Note that not all models/receivers report all fields,
and that some fields require extra modules to enable.
