Overview

Deviation is a replacement firmware for the Walkera Devention™ series (Devo)

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 Er X firmware for the Turnigy/Flysky x™ transmitters.

Deviation also brings a 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

configurable; any mix of inputs, switches, channel data, or timers can be displayed, and

configured per-model. Deviation also supports customizable themes with full control

over the images, fonts, and colors.

Deviation can store up to 255 different models, and uses a portable syntax that allows

sharing models between any transmitter supported by Deviation.

Deviation has been internationalized. New language support can be added by simply

copying a translation file into the appropriate directory on the transmitter.

Installation

Installation of Deviation is done just like upgrading the Walkera firmware.

Note that Deviation will NOT overwrite Walkera models stored on the Tx. While they

cannot be accessed by Deviation, they will be safely preserved should the Walkera

firmware ever need to be reinstalled (Note: With the Devo12 firmware, the original

models will be lost when switching to Deviation).

First install the deviation-devoXX-x.y.z.dfu firmware using the Walkera ‘DfuSe USB

Upgrade’ tool. You will need the ‘Devention DfuSe USB Upgrade Tool' from Walkera:

http://www.walkera.com/en/upload/upgrade/2013-2-26.rar. Do NOT attempt to use the

DfuSe tool from STMicroelectronics! It is recommended to test that this tool works by

upgrading to a different Walkera firmware. Several users have had compatibility issues

with the DfuSe tool.

Plug the transmitter into the PC via USB, and turn on the transmitter while holding

‘EXT’ to enter programming mode. On the Devo12, this is done by holding the trainer-

switch instead.

1) Press the ‘...’ button and select the dfu file to install

2) Select ‘Upgrade’ to install the firmware. This will be grayed-out if your Tx is not

detected. Do NOT use ‘Upload’ as this will destroy the dfu file on your PC

Page | 5

There have been reports of it corrupting the model settings on the TX as

well

3) Devo12 Only: Select the ’Library’ tab, click ‘..’ select the devo12-lib.dfu from the

file-system zip. Then ‘Upgrade’ the Library.

Turn off the transmitter, and turn back on while holding ‘ENT’. There should be a USB

logo on the screen.

If this is a first-time install of Deviation, the PC should prompt to format the drive.

Format using default options. Next unzip the deviation-fs-devoXX-x.y.z.zip to the Tx

USB drive.

If this is an upgrade from a previous Deviation release, it is strongly recommended to

back-up the ‘models’ directory from the transmitter as well as the tx.ini file to ensure you

don’t lose any model or transmitter configuration. Next unzip the deviation-fs-devoXX-

x.y.z.zip to the PC and copy all directories EXCEPT for the ‘models’ directory and the

tx.ini file to the transmitter. Optionally, copy the ‘models’ directory to the transmitter

except for the currently configured model files. This last step will ensure that the defaults

for newly created models have the latest options set. If the tx.ini file is overwritten, the

stick calibration must be repeated and any settings reset.

USB & File-system

Deviation stores all configuration, bitmaps, and models as regular files on the USB file-

system.

USB can be most easily enabled by holding down the ‘ENT’ button while powering up

the transmitter. Files can then be easily copied to or from the Tx.

The directory structure is as follows:

\tx.ini Transmitter config. Includes trim settings, calibration data,

and the last-used model number

\errors.txt If the firmware crashes or reboots, debug information will be

stored in this

\media\config.ini The color scheme and fonts for the transmitter

\media\sound.ini Contains notes to play for various alarms

\media\*.bmp Images used for the current Tx theme

\media\*.fon Font files

\models\default.ini The default model, loaded whenever a model is cleared

\models\model*.ini Configuration files for each model. Due to a limitation in the

firmware, Deviation cannot create new files. It is therefore

necessary to have a modelxx.ini for each model regardless of

whether it is currently in use.

\modelico\*.bmp All available model icons (must be 6x 6 pixels)

\templates\*.ini Configuration files used when loading predefined templates.

These are nearly identical to the model configuration files,

however they do not necessarily define all parameters

\language\lang*.* Language translation files. These are UTF-8 text files con-

taining the English string and the respective translated string

Reporting Bugs

To report bugs with the Deviation firmware, file a ticket at:

https://bitbucket.org/PhracturedBlue/deviation/issues

It is recommended that you create an account in order to be informed of updates to the

ticket, but this is not required.

Please include the Deviation version in all reports (find this on the USB/Version page)

If the bug includes a crash or reboot of the firmware, additionally include:

•The ‘.elf’ files that came with the firmware zip file.

•The errors.txt file from the transmitter

Main Page

Tx Options: Selecting this icon provides access to the main-page configuration screen;

the Channel-Test screen; telemetry output; the frequency scanner; and USB mode

Current Model: Selecting the model-name provides access to the Load-Model screen for

quick-model switching

Transmitter Power: This indicates the currently selected transmitter power. It is

configured from the Model Configuration page

Battery Voltage: Numerical representation of current Tx battery state

Configurable Displays: These can be text-boxes contacting input, channel, telemetry, or

timer data; bar graphs displaying channel data; or icons displaying specific states (e.g.

gear, flaps,…)

Trims: The trim display can be configured to show 0, 4 or 6 trims

Model Configuration: Selecting the model icon provides access to the model

configuration pages

Navigating

The transmitter menus can be navigated via touch-screen or with the physical buttons.

With the touch screen, simply touching any button on the screen will immediately

activate it.

The gray spin-boxes act both as spin-boxes (for selecting a value) and as buttons (which

can have various effects). White spin-boxes do not act as buttons, and are only for value

selection.

When using the physical buttons, it is necessary to 1st enter navigation mode before the

buttons can be accessed.

On the main page, a long-press of the ‘ENT’ key will enter navigation mode.

On all other pages, pressing ‘UP’ or ‘DN’ will enter navigation mode

Once in navigation mode, the current widget will be highlighted, and UP/DN will select

the next/previous widget.

The ‘R+’ and ‘L-’ buttons are used on spin-box widgets to increase or decrease the

selected value. In some cases holding down the button will use larger step values to

move more quickly to the desired value.

For Buttons and gray spin-boxes, pressing ENT’ will press the button

Pressing ‘EXT’ will exit navigation mode. If pressed when not in navigation mode, it

will move back to the main screen
