CHAPTER 1
Overview
Deviation is a replacement firmware for the JUMPER transmitters. The primary goal is to add support for
multiple protocols, opening the full potential of this platform. The core of the deviation firmware is the
mixer system, which is modeled after the system used in the Er9X firmware for the Turnigy/Flysky9x™
transmitters.
Deviation also brings USB file-system support, making it easy to manage the transmitter from any PC
without the need for specialized upload/download tools.
Deviation has been designed for ultimate configurability. All model and transmitter configuration is
controlled through text files which the firmware (or user) can read and write. It is easy to know exactly
what is configured, as well as to modify the configuration either through the transmitter or with a text
editor. The main screen is very customizable; any mix of inputs, switches, channel data, or timers can be
displayed, and configured per-model.
Deviation supports multiple protocols without any modifications to the transmitter:
• Jumper T8SG
• Walkera WK2401 / WK2601 / WK2801
• DSM2 / DSMX
• Nine Eagles J6 Pro (requires telemetry module)
Deviation can support many other protocols with very easy transmitter modifications (appropriate
transceiver module needed). Among the more popular are:
• Flysky (also for WLToys V911, V9x9, and Xieda 9938)
• Hubsan-X4 and Estes Proto X
• V202
• SLT
• FrSky
Deviation supports (flight) simulators connected via DSC cable (PPM) or USB cable (USBHID). Deviation
also allows Buddy-Box and FPV setups.
