It will be available very soon.. all units coming into the UK will have V2. Firmware on them..

[Cuppa]

Can't wait, i'd av one in brail, yiddish don't care!

[Mslater]

New units are due in England on 24th November, all suppliers should get them from wholesale at the same time.

V2 software will be available from 24th on Beast X website.

As with everything this is subject to change but I suspect we will see the product on the dates above.

Looks like I'll have to get myself a USB dongle. Unless a Spartan one will work?

I'll have to see if I can find the post on a forum I read that you can use the Spartan USB but it was awhile ago so don't take my word on it just yet unless someone else can confirm it"

Ive seen posts about other dongles working but most seem to end with I thought it should have done,
Why skimp on the price of a dongle just get one and have done with it,
And if you do decide to get one you better be quick because all those other beastx owners who dont already have one will be wanting one this week to

I asked the question re: if a spartan dongle would work and found that it doesn't.
Ade.

What are the updates for the new firmware?

The current version is very good on my 550 and 700e .

Here is what to expect in the new release.

Setup-Menu:
Swashplate - Frequency Settings (Hz): 50, 65, 120, 165, 200 + User defined (50-333)
Tailservo - Frequency Settings (Hz): 50, 165, 270, 333, 560 + User defined (50-560)
Swashplate Mixers: mechanical, 90°, 120°, 140°, 140° 1:1, + User defined (freely configurable)

Parameter-Menu:
Steck Deadband: 5 predefined sets from low to high + User definable
Tail Torque Precompensation: off - or user definable

For all the stuff, which is user definable, you still need an application for your PC which will NOT be available on the 24th.


Receivers:
- The standard receiver is still supported <image001.gif>
- ONE Spektrum Sat is connectable with an additional cable (check your dealer for that), as discussed only for 250 and 450 class!
- PPM composite signals supported
- Futaba S-BUS is now supported, too

The receivers can be easily setup at the device, no PC needed at all.

Please, don't nail me with questions, we'll make the new manual available BEFORE the software release, so you'll have your time to see and understand what has changed.



Together with the firmware-update we'll offer a new version of the BEASTXUpdater, the "old" version will work, too, but using the latest is recommended. also here some minor bugs where fixed, especially random crashes on Mac-Devices.
I hope we can finish the Ubuntu-Linux version of the BEASTXUpdater, otherwise it will follow shortly after.
So watch out for the anouncment...

All units shipped after the 24th will already have 2.0.0 installed on it... and we've prepared plenty of them <image001.gif>



Thank you all for the patience, for the support, for the feedback and the trust.

I know you don't want to be bombarded with questions but do you know if the forthcoming software application will be available for Mac/OSX, or will it be Windows only?

[pcollins]

Sorry i copied and pasted that info from the beastx forum so feel free to ask questions.

I would guess that there would be support for MAC OS as beastx currenlty support MAC OS on the update software.

Any chance you could post the images here from what you pasted
