Inertia Wheels Firmware V1.0.2

The manual has been updated for V1.0.2.

Notice for Mac users

If you have had trouble updating, we have more knowledge to help you.

Thanks to the efforts of a few customers’ we have found a few more driver conflicts on mac and now have more tools to help remove those conflicts.

Notice for Windows Users

We have discovered that some PC hardware can be problematic to perform updates and/or receive data over USB. Particularly, it seems like some desktop computers may have more trouble than laptops. There appears to be no risk of damaging the hardware either of the PC or the Inertia Wheels.

Changes since V1.0.0

• Updater App

  • For macOS users, the app now has a driver scan under Advanced > Driver Scan. (as of V1.0.1)

  • You can copy and paste this text and email it to us to help us troubleshoot potentially conflicting drivers. (as of V1.0.1)

• Bug Fixes

  • System-wide stability improvements

  • Fixed a bug with Third Axis where packets per second would drop to ~60. (Fixed in V1.0.1)

  • Fixed a bug where motors would fail to update (Fixed in V1.0.1)

  • Fixed a bug caused by our packet loss correction. Gimbal could jitter or change orientation quickly. Packet loss correction has been removed. (as of V1.0.2)

• Features

  • Wheels menu has been renamed “Pan/Tilt”

  • Roll Menu

    • Roll menu has been moved to the top level of the menu system now.

    • A new Mark as Level button allows you to set your current roll position as your “level” position

    • A new Move to Level button will tell the gimbal to move back to level. This works much better on Ronin 2 than the previous Roll Reset button.

  • Power off must now be held for 5 seconds to turn off (as of V1.0.1)

  • New style of alert pop-up (as of V1.0.1)

  • New System Report screen under System > System Report (as of V1.0.1)

    • This screen will show you what the “i” icon means.

  • New Effects Dashboard (as of V1.0.1)

    • This is still a work in progress.

    • Reset now works (as of V1.0.2)

    • Windows for pan/tilt/roll do not work yet.

  • When you open a menu item to change it, “Set” is now button 3, “Cancel” is now button 4. This is to keep button 4 consistent as a back/cancel key. (as of V1.0.1)

• Ronin 2 Changes

  • New Ronin 2 Settings menu

    • Control the Profile between User 1 and Default (likely requires latest R2 firmware)

    • Call Follow Mode, Free Mode, or Recenter Mode

• Potential Ronin 2 Bug

  • We are hearing a few occasional reports of the R2 switching modes sporadically. These reports are rare, but we are monitoring them. It this occurs with you, please report it and as many details of the circumstances as possible.

  • With the latest Ronin 2 firmware, it is possible for the R2 to misinterpret Inertia Wheels packets to unintentionally swap between Default/User 1 and Follow/Free/Recenter Modes. If this occurs, we suggest checking the cable/dongle between the Receiver and the R2. Additionally, we suggest configuring both Default and User 1 profiles to be duplicates to match the Ronin 2 Settings Chart. This will prevent any sudden changes in settings.
