Full Instructions

Step 1

Check Wheels and Receiver firmware

With the Receiver powered on, use Menu > System > Firmware to check to make sure the MCU and RX firmware versions are the same and a correct version:

  • Inertia Wheels MAX should be > 2.0.2

  • Inertia Wheels Brushless with SN < 11000 should be > 1.0.4

  • Inertia Wheels Brushless with SN >= 11000 should be > 1.21.

Download the proper firmware if needed.

Always install new firmware on both the Wheels and Receiver!

 

Step 2

Download IW Desktop Link

If you use a PC or Mac with OS 10.X, you will need the driver. Mac 11 does not need the driver.

Always reboot computer after installing the driver.

 

Step 3

Setup Inertia Wheels

Set Menu > Output > Remote Head to Training (or IW-VP).

Set Menu > Output > Signal Path to Wireless.

 

Step 4

Connect Receiver

Connect the Receiver to the computer.

The LED must go blue.

Troubleshooting This step

If the LED light is not blue, these are the most common issues:

  • The Wheels (“MCU”) and Receiver (“RX”) are not on the same firmware version. Check in Menu > System > Firmware.

  • The Signal Path is not set to Wireless. Set with Menu > Output > Signal Path: Wireless.

  • There is a System Report Error in the Wheels. Check Menu > System > Report for red. If you see red lines, reboot and hold objects clear of wheels during calibration. If the errors persist, contact Support with the chat bubble.

 

Step 5

Open IW Desktop Link 2 App

Open IW Desktop Link 2 App

Once you see “Link Active” you can open the Training App.

Previous manual setup instructions.

If you do not have the new IW Desktop Link 2 App, download it.

Troubleshooting this step

If the LED light is blue on the Receiver, but the App does not say Link Active, the most common issues:

  • The Driver is not installed and needs to be.

  • The USB cable is a charging cable and does not have data pins.
