10.5. Protocol: DSM2
10.6 Protocol: DSMX
The DSMX protocol is used to control many Spektrum™ and JR™, as well as other models using this protocol.
While the DSMX 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 less channels.
Make sure the # of channels is set appropriately for the receiver. DSMX 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.
Note that unlike Spektrum™ or JR™ transmitters, Deviation will not automatically select between DSM2
and DSMX. The user must select which protocol to use.
The DSMX protocol also supports enabling/disabling the telemetry capability. This option is accessed by
pressing the Protocol spin-box when DSMX is shown.
The list of DSMX telemetry fields is identical to those in the DSM2 Protocol, and are documented in section
Protocol: DSM2.
10.7 Protocol: J6Pro
The J6Pro protocol is used to support Nine Eagles™ models. Only models compatible with the J6Pro
transmitter can be used. Many older 4-channel Nine Eagles models used a different protocol that is
unsupported. The J6Pro protocol supports up to 12 channels, although only models with 6 channels have
been tested. J6Pro 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.
10.8 Protocol: *Flysky
The Flysky protocol is used to control Turnigy/Flysky receivers as well as a few other models using the same
AFHDS protocol (WL V911, Xieda 9958, etc). NOTE: This protocol requires the addition of an ‘A7105’
hardware module to function. See the following document for more information:
http://www.deviationtx.com/wiki/#hardware_modifications
The Flysky protocol supports up to 12 channels, and 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.
