10.4 Protocol: WK2401
The WK2401 protocol is used to control older Walkera models. The previous Walkera models were
segmented into 3 similar but not identical protocols: WK2801, WK2601, WK2401. This roughly
corresponds to the number of channels supported, but many of the newer 6-channel receivers actually
support the WK2801 protocol. It is recommended to try the WK2801 protocol 1st when working with older
Walkera models before attempting the WK2601 or WK2401 mode, as the WK2801 is a superior protocol.
The WK2401 protocol supports up to 4 channels, and only supports auto-binding. The fixed ID can be used,
but does not prevent auto-binding during power-on.
10.5 Protocol: DSM2
The DSM2 protocol is used to control many Spektrum™ and JR™, as well as other models using this protocol.
While the DSM2 protocol can support up to 14 channels, Deviation is currently limited to a maximum of
12. Note that many receivers with less than 8 channels require the Transmitter to send 7 or fewer channels.
Make sure the # of channels is set appropriately for the receiver. DSM2 does not support auto-binding. If
Fixed ID is set to None, a transmitter-specific ID is used instead. It is necessary to manually bind each model
before the first use.
Note that binding does not exit until you move the AIL or ELE controls. This is so you can press the Failsafe
button on some DSM receivers to set the failsafe value.
The DSM2 protocol also supports enabling/disabling the telemetry capability. This option is accessed by
pressing the Protocol spin-box when DSM2 is shown.
