-**Devo 7e update info:** \\ +

-The telemetry is present in deviation firmware in the latest nightlies, currentlyThat 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:**+
  
-Telemetry names are shared with the dsm2 protocol, and as such, their names are not very appropriate to describe quantity they represent.+==== Quick Devo setup: ====
  
-\\ +The quad should have telemetry enabled by default
-***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:**+
  
-You could setup some alarms for telemetry data. Make sure you fly in range of telemetry if you rely on them only.+  * Devo: select protocol Bayang, set protocol option "Telemetry" to on 
 +  * 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
  
-\\ + \\ **Devo 7e and other versions update info:** \\  \\ The telemetry is present in deviation firmware in the latest nightlies, currently. That means you may need to flash a recent nightly ( dec 2016 or newer) 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. \\  \\  \\ **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:**
-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+
  
-\\ +Telemetry names are shared with the dsm2 protocoland as such, their names are not very appropriate to describe the quantity they represent.
-The real voltage goes down a lotso it may not be very useful. An alarm of 2.8 - 3.0 could be used.+

-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.+**Additional:** \\ 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.
  
-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.+The quadcopter only sends telemetry after a packet is received from the transmitter.
