New Brain firmware...???

[Guest]

Just plugged one of my Brain's in to make some changes, and the software tells me 'the current firmware is not the recommended one - would you like to update it'......

Is it a new firmware version and if so, does anyone know what the changes are?

Decided not to update it until I know a bit more about it......

Drop Adam Cartlidge a message on here, he's updated and says it's loads better with more things in software to dial settings in.

It depends when you last updated dude, my brain is only a few months old so I didnt see many changes but Cartlidge pointed out the bits that are new, if I remember right its
Elevator/aileron roll rates, values before update were 0, then 350 ish after the update
And tail drag compensation, which was handy for me!
Adam told me just to go in and make note of the settings, update, then go through and double check everything. I dont remember anything changing so you should be good to go!
I did an update a few weeks ago but there was another over the weekend, hopefully may cure the issues iv noticed with the Android app

Rates for ail/elev are in Advanced->setup1-2-3->cyclic


Android version will follow in about 2 weeks, we decided to not hold the new firmware and release for windows and have people enjoy it even if Android not out yet.

Please use it and let us know what you think.

As usual free to all users as it will always be............

Thanks for waiting and hope you will like flying it as much as we liked it writing and testing it for you.

Special thanks to all our dev and test team.

Special thanks to Alex Rose AKA OnTheSnap.


hope this helps.....

Just to clarify.....firmware was up-to-date at the weekend, installed firmware 1.3.050 when it was released, there seems to be another one.....odd it doesn't warn of an update, but of a 'not the recommended' firmware.....

Slightly puzzled.....

The new update is 100 times better now, allowing you to really dial in the head cyclic more and make it more stable in place where it used to be a bit wobbly if u no what I mean. Iv spent a while playing with everything in it now and have got the Gaui X7 almost perfect now just need tweek the tail a bit now since getting the head locked in prefect. Best thing to do is take pictures of all your settings In ever screen basic and advanced, update it and and double check everything or start a fresh setup and do all your setup on swash etc... And then all your gains, rates etc... Put to what ur old set up was and then tail drag comp is backwards iv found on all helis so far so - allows the swash to tilt forward on fast pitch inputs allowing the tail boom to stay level in e.g pitch pumps and fast forward fligh. Cyclic roll rate you will have to adjust up to how fast it roll u want in elevator and aleron, I'm at about 740-800 degrees per second.
Just double check and triple check everythings right before you fly, just incase. There shouldn't be any problems but better safe then sorry.
