Inertia Wheels Firmware V0.3.0 BETA

Desktop firmware updater application for Inertia Wheels and Receiver. Requires Micro USB Cable.

Inertia Wheels v0.3.0 | Receiver v0.3.0 | Motor Driver v0.0.2

Disclaimer: This update requires a motor driver update. This process is simple, but it may require multiple attempts to complete. Once the desktop application has finished, the wheels will require you to manually go to Menu > System > Firmware and select Motor Update to start. If the process hangs at any point for more than 30 seconds, you may reboot the system and attempt the update again. If you choose to downgrade, you will need to complete the same process with the previous motor driver version.

Release Notes

• Menu/User Interface

  • New icons

  • Keys can now be used to help Set/Cancel/Default open menu items

  • [Bug Fix] Inactive items are no longer visible in the Dashboard menu

• Wireless

  • [New Feature][Beta] Mode option with Longer Range wireless 

    • Drops refresh rate from 100 to 50 packets / second to increase range

    • When changing this, it is helpful if the Receiver is powered on and within 2.4Ghz range as this setting temporarily disables the main sub-ghz radio.

  • RSSI is now called Frequency Scan

  • [Bug Fix] It is no longer necessary to re-enable wireless after running a frequency scan

  • [Bug Fix] Wireless channel changing would occasionally freeze. This has been fixed.

  • The 2.4Ghz wireless is now bi-direction and helps to configure the long range sub-ghz antenna.

• Motors

  • [New Feature][Beta] Rigidity/Slip Risk is now accessible to the user. 

    • This setting allows users to configure how Rigid the motors are relative to the physics model. The more rigid it is set to, the more realistic the Inertia will feel. However, the higher the Rigidity, the higher the likelihood that the motors will slip, ie Slip Risk. 

    • We recommend keeping this setting at its default, High, for most use cases. If you find the motors are slipping frequently, reduce this Medium or Low. 

  • [Bug Fix] The tilt wheel would occasionally get stuck at a very high mass setting. It will now remain in sync with the displayed mass setting.

• Gimbal Control

  • [New Feature] MōVI Pro/XL Status information

    • When working with MōVI Pro and XL gimbals, battery information and error’s will now be displayed on the dashboard.

  • [New Feature][Beta] Pan Drift Compensation in Output Menu

    • Disclaimer: The Inertia Wheels all-digital signal, has no drift. This compensation feature is for drift generated from within the gimbal’s accelerometers, outside of the Inertia Wheel’s ability to detect or control. Inertia Wheels do not have any responsibility for causing this form of drift. This form of drift can be unpredictable and change based on many factors. It is possible that adding Pan Drift Compensation within the Inertia Wheels, the user can actually increase undesirable drift. If a manufacturer of the gimbal has a drift compensation setting or tool available to the user, it is always better to use that. Pan Drift Compensation on the Inertia Wheels should be a last resort. Users should only expect it to work for short periods of time for a static camera.

  • [New Feature] Differ to Majestic

    • Operators can temporarily and easily pass off control to Movi Majestic mode. This is helpful for resetting shots to the starting point.
