What protocol is the Walkera remote control?
In the field of drones and remote control models, Walkera is a well-known brand, and its remote controls are widely used in controlling various types of aircraft and models. Many users are curious about the communication protocol used by Walkera remote controls. This article will introduce in detail the protocol types, characteristics and comparison with other protocols of Walkera remote controls.
1. Common protocols for Walkera remote controls

Walkera remote controls mainly use the following communication protocols:
| Protocol name | Applicable equipment | Features |
|---|---|---|
| DEVO protocol | Walkera DEVO series remote control | Supports high-frequency communication and is compatible with a variety of receivers |
| FRSKY protocol | Some Walkera remote controls | Open source protocol, supports two-way communication |
| DSM2/DSMX | Some Walkera compatible devices | Compatible with Spektrum devices |
2. Detailed explanation of DEVO protocol
DEVO protocol is a communication protocol independently developed by Walkera and is mainly used for its DEVO series remote controls. The agreement has the following characteristics:
1.high frequency communication: The DEVO protocol supports the 2.4GHz frequency band and can provide stable signal transmission.
2.Strong compatibility: DEVO remote control can support multiple protocols through firmware upgrade, including FRSKY, DSM2, etc.
3.Highly customizable: Users can extend functionality through third-party firmware (such as Deviation).
3. Compatibility of Walkera remote control with other protocols
Walkera remote control not only supports its own DEVO protocol, but can also be compatible with other mainstream protocols through firmware upgrades. The following are common compatible protocols:
| Protocol name | Compatibility | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| FRSKY | Partially supported | Requires firmware upgrade |
| DSM2/DSMX | Partially supported | Requires compatible receiver |
| FlySky | Partially supported | Requires third-party firmware |
4. How to choose Walkera remote control protocol
When choosing a protocol for your Walkera remote control, you need to consider the following factors:
1.Device compatibility: Make sure the remote control and receiver use the same protocol.
2.Functional requirements: If two-way communication or advanced functions are required, it is recommended to choose the FRSKY protocol.
3.Firmware support: Some protocols need to be implemented through third-party firmware, and firmware compatibility needs to be confirmed in advance.
5. Summary
Walkera remote control mainly uses DEVO protocol, but also supports a variety of third-party protocols. Users can choose the appropriate protocol based on device needs and compatibility. Through firmware upgrades, the functions of the Walkera remote control can be further expanded to meet the needs of more scenarios.
