-**Devo 7e update info:** \\
-\\
-The telemetry is present in deviation firmware in the latest nightlies, currently. That means you may need to flash a recent nightly to make use of telemetry with the bayang protocol, and your flashed quadcopter.\\
-\\
-Please back-up the model files, and perhaps other files just in case, when upgrading the transmitter firmware.\\
-\\
-To enable telemetry , hit enter when selecting bayang protocol, the same as enabling telemetry for other protocols, such as DSMX\\
-\\
-The protocol with telemetry enabled will **only bind to a quad with telemetry capability**. With telemetry off, it will bind to all quads, including factory firmware, and telemetry quads.\\
-\\
-\\
-**About telemetry data:** \\
-\\
-The quad sends battery voltage, battery voltage- compensated against throttle , packets received ( reception quality indicator ) , and battery low -led flash signal\\
-\\
-Additionally, the tx generates telemetry reception stats.\\
-\\
-Telemetry names:\\
-\\
-***Fades_L** - led battery low flashing= 100 , otherwise 0\\
-***Loss** - TX's telemetry reception quality indicator in packets per seconds (max 200)\\
-***Holds** - quad's reception indicator in packets per seconds (max 200 )\\
-***RxV** -**Volt1**- real battery voltage\\
-***Batt** -**Volt2**- compensated battery voltage\\
-\\
-\\
-**Alarms:** \\
-FadesL > 1 will create an alarm that sounds if the leds flash a low battery code\\
-Batt <= 3.40 is ok for low battery as well - using compensated settings from config.h\\
-Rxv <= 2.90 - real battery voltage - this would be more like a traditional lvc that sounds on max throttle sometimes
-\\
+==== Quick Devo setup: ====
-The real voltage goes down a lot, so it may not be very useful. An alarm of 2.8 - 3.0 could be used.
-**Additional:**
+The quad should have telemetry enabled by default
-\\
+  * Devo: select protocol Bayang, set protocol option "Telemetry" to on
-Since the telemetry range is shorter compared to the tx range ( with PA ) , there is no point setting an alarm for quad reception strenght, as the telemetry will probably fail before that level is reached.
+  * Add one or more of "**Loss**, **Holds**  , **Batt/Volt2**  , **RxV/Volt1**" to the main screen
+  * You should now see the data on the main screen after binding

+Telemetry names are shared with the dsm2 protocol, and as such, their names are not very appropriate to describe the quantity they represent.
+ \\ ***Fades_L**  - led battery low flashing= 100 , otherwise 0 \\ ***Loss**  - TX's telemetry reception quality indicator in packets per seconds (max 200) \\ ***Holds**  - quad's reception indicator in packets per seconds (max 200 ) \\ ***RxV**  -**Volt1**- real battery voltage \\ ***Batt**  -**Volt2**- compensated battery voltage \\  \\  \\ **Alarms:**  Some alarms could be setup for telemetry data. Make sure to fly in range of telemetry if you rely on them only. Telemetry range is smaller than the range of a tx with a PA module. \\ FadesL > 1 will create an alarm that sounds if the leds flash a low battery code \\ Batt <= 3.40 is ok for low battery alarm - using voltage compensation settings from config.h \\ Rxv <= 2.90 - real battery voltage - this would be more like a traditional lvc that sounds on max throttle sometimes \\ The real voltage goes down a lot, so it may not be very useful.

+The quadcopter only sends telemetry after a packet is received from the transmitter. This is to avoid on-air clashes when the code hopping becomes unsyncronized. Because of this, the telemetry rate will go down when reception is poor on the quadcopter.
