Ultimate7e: Building from source

April 17, 2016 Christopher

[UPDATE: 17th May 2016] While the method below can still be used to build from source, PhracturedBlue has release a Docker container that contains the build environment with a GUI to ease the process. Find the wiki documentation about it here. Alternatively, if you do not want to build from source yourself, compiled versions can be found on the Test Builds page on deviationtx.com. Let’s walk through the process of building DeviationTX from source. You’ll need to do this if you…

Hubless Frsky telemetry with Baseflight on Naze32

I do have a hub, but one thing that bothered me was that to get the telemetry, we would be buying and installing a bunch of sensors that our main flight controllers already have. With this in mind I set about to seeing how…
