Deviation User Manual for Jumper T8SG, Release 5.0
90 Chapter 11. Advanced Topics
90 (3 Servo): With Aileron input, the aileron and pitch servos tilt the swash-plate left and right; with
elevator input, the servos tilt the swash-plate fore and aft; with Pitch input, all three servos raise the
swash-plate up and down. Most commonly used for electronic helicopters.
None: This is a special case where all mixing is done on-board the helicopter using a gyroscopic flight
control system. Please refer to the specific manufacturers instructions to see how to configure mixer
outputs.
Note: Some helicopters are 120 or 140, except rotated 180 degrees. In these cases you will still use the
designated swash-plate type but may need to reverse specific channels.
11.5 Modifying sounds
You can edit the sounds your Devo makes, though you have to do it by mounting the transmitter as a USB
drive and editing the ‘sound.ini’ file in the ‘media’ folder.
The sections, and what causes them to play, are:
• startup: Powered on.
• shutdown: Powering off.
• volume: Configuring transmitter volume.
• timer_warning: Timer is about to expire.
• alarm#: Timer # (1 to 4) has expired.
• batt_alarm: Battery low warning.
• done_binding: Binding finished.
• key_pressing: On a key press
• saving: When saving a model file.
• max_len: When you’ve exceeded the length of a string in the keyboard.
• telem_alarm#: Telemetry alarm # (1 to 6) has triggered.
In each section, you can adjust set ‘volume’ from 0 (off) to 100 (max). The rest of the entries are note
names, and the value is the number of milliseconds to play that note. There is a limit of 100 notes for each
sound.
The note names are ‘xx’, which is a rest (no sound played). You can then pick a note (‘a’-‘g’), possibly
sharped by adding a ‘x’ if it’s ‘a’, ‘c’, ‘d’, ‘f’ or ‘g’. Finally, you can choose an octave with a single digit, ranging
from ‘0’ to ‘4’. Those take you from ‘c0’ (middle C) up to ‘b4’. In addition, ‘a’, ‘ax’ and ‘b’ will play the three
notes below middle C.
