74 Chapter 10. Protocols
The HiSky protocol supports up to 7 channels, 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.
10.21 Protocol: *YD717
The YD717 protocol supports the YD717 and Skybotz UFO Mini quadcopters, plus several models from Sky
Walker, XinXun, Ni Hui”), and Syma through protocol options. See the Supported Modules spreadsheet for
a complete list. NOTE: This protocol requires the addition of an ‘NRF24L01’ hardware module to function.
See the following document for more information:
http://www.deviationtx.com/wiki/#hardware_modifications
The YD717 protocol supports 9 channels and only supports auto-binding. The protocol stays in bind mode
until successful.
The first four channels represent Aileron, Elevator, Throttle, and Rudder.
The fifth channel enables the auto-flip function when greater than zero. Additionally to enable auto-flips
left and right the aileron channel scale must be 87 or greater. Likewise for the elevator channel and
front/back flips. When auto-flip is enabled, moving the cyclic all the way in any direction initiates a flip in
that direction. The YD717 requires at least four seconds between each auto-flip.
The sixth channel turns on lights when greater than zero.
The seventh channel takes a picture on transition from negative to positive.
The eighth channel starts/stops video recording on each positive transition.
The ninth channel is assigned to last feature flag available in the protocol. This may control headless mode
on models that have the feature.
10.22 Protocol: *SymaX
This protocol is used on Syma models: X5C-1, X11, X11C, X12, new X4, and new X6. A variant supporting
the original X5C and the X2 is included as a protocol option. (The Syma X3, old X4, and old X6 are supported
with the SymaX4 option in the YD717 protocol. ) See the Supported Modules spreadsheet for a complete
list. NOTE: This protocol requires the addition of an ‘NRF24L01+’ hardware module to function. Note the
“plus” version of the nRF device is required to support the 250kbits/s data rate. See the following
document for more information:
http://www.deviationtx.com/wiki/#hardware_modifications
The SymaX protocol supports 9 channels and only supports auto-binding.
The first four channels represent Aileron, Elevator, Throttle, and Rudder.
The fifth channel is unused.
The sixth channel enables the auto-flip function when greater than zero.
The seventh channel takes a picture when the channel moves from negative to positive.
