My simucube 1 / ioni osw won’t update the firmware. It erased the firmware at the start of the update but keeps stopping at different stages of the install. Sometime straight away mist times it gets part way through before error messages occur saying firmware not installed and error messages regarding time out and disconnect etc.
I’ve tried on several PCs and get the same issue.
Worked Ok a month or so ago.
Any ideas?

I have a question regarding (product) regarding (issue).
Yes it’s a simucube board with ioni what a bizarre question.
It’s got no firmware in ioni as it erased it when doing the update, now failed to do the update so now the simucube config tool won’t connect to the ioni drive.
There has been a previous case where the IONI has failed in a similar way, and needed to be replaced.
To rule out the Simucube affecting the update somehow, please power off the Simucube and put it into DFU mode by using the dip switches, then try to update the IONI again.
So this is a system that was up and running 2 days ago. Now via Granity its erased the firmware that was working and is failing to install it again.
I’m rapidly running out of patience with half hearted responses and Wiki instructions which don’t refer to things properly. Where is the instructions showing how to set the dip switches. This is a new Simucube board (after the last blew its Mosfets) that I installed perfectly easily 2 months ago and had up and running now I’m doing it all over again and I can’t seem to get it working or more importantly find the right information to at least attempt to get it working.
Most likely, as your Simucube board is quite new, the DIP switches are on the edge of the PCB near the green connection block that the fan connects to.
The other one is not connected to anything, and the other is toggling the DFU mode, so you can always toggle both of the switches. IONI firmware can’t be installed with DfuSeDemo, but putting the Simucube into DFU mode you can exclude the Simucube from trying to do anything that might cause the IONI firmware update with Granity to fail.
Also, having E-stop pressed might be helpful. Also trying with another USB cable for the X4 USB port might help.
OK, so that worked thanks, I now have the firmware installed on the ioni. However, I now have the continual error message that drive needs to be restarted, you can restart manually from the connect tab. So I have clicked restart drive several times and it searches the address and then I can connect, but then the error message about restarting the drive comes back.
I have tried powering on and off, e stop open/closed etc. Simucube says waiting for drive to get ready.
