USEFUL LINK for people using the Multiprotocol modules
in the Taranis and Jumper T12 transmitters.
github.com/pascallanger/DIY-Multiprotocol-TX-Module/blob/master/Protocols_Details.md
This is the updated documentation describing all the protocols that are available on these modules.
Note two things however:
1) You may need to update the firmware in the module (not the transmitter firmware) to get all the protocols.
2) The descriptive text is provided by the transmitter not the module so you may have to enter the actual numbers under "Custom". Jumper T12 owners should NOT update their transmitter firmware from the OpenTX site as the Jumper transmitter uses a non-standard version of OpenTX that is supported by Jumper only.

And no, that isn't a real micro transmitter above but a concept from a cyber-punk web site!
