New IONI firmware 1.6.30 -- update: 1.6.90

for the people who say they lost feel i got a tip.
Move tbw back to 680 or 1000 if you where running unlimited now. it makes the ffb less smooth so you can notice details like oversteer more clearly. if my testing from just now is correct:)

Regarding the MR and ML calculated values: I reverted back to 1.6.1 and measured resistance and inductance, and I get the lower values reflected in 1.6.30. I am quite confident that when I first installed Granity after acquiring my system I had measured at the higher value. Very strange. Would these values change in the motor over time or with use?

Hi

I have just installed this firmware and the servo became noisy. i have a lenze servo and with the previous version it was quit. No noise at all. But after installing this one i have a constant electrical sound when i turn the wheel. Is this normal? What should i modify in the config to avoid this noise?

thank you in advance

best regards

This is now a known issue, and you can use the non-beta version of the IONI firmware.

Thx for the qucik answer. I hope that it will be eliminated easily.

You can also see Tero’s comments about this issue here:

… and the following posts after that.

Summary: Something goes wrong in the new beta IONI firmware when measuring MR/ML values, specifically evident when using Lenze servos, but you can manually set those to reduce the noise.

Szabolcs I am the other Lenze driver and glad to hear I am not alone :wink:

Mika, my MR/ML values only work with reconstruction filter ON (1-10 doesn’t matter) If I turn of recon, the Lenze is noisy no matter the ML/MR values. This is indicating to me that something is wrong - no other ioni firmware leads to a noisy Lenze.

I hope there will be a real fix. Until then I am driving 1.5MR and 4.2ML.

Hi

I am sure that they will fix this issue. And i am sure that the problem is caused by the new ioni firmware.

Question: do you feel any difference if you use manual settings in ml and mr?

Szabolcs

I tried hard to feel a disadvantage with my manual settings but there is none. as terro said, I think the values are not displayed or not set correctly after measurement.

MR 2.0 and ML 11 is ok as well.

But I keep the MR value around 1.4 because you loose torque otherwise they said.

Anyway i hope that this will be corrected in the new version

We have fixed some things, but only Tero knows exactly what, in the next version. Pending the results and decision of this, we might even include just the “old” 10601 firmware in the next week’s SimuCUBE build, so that maximum amount of people can get the best possible FFB via manual IONI firmware update. Target is, of course, to have just one version eventually.

why?

is not better to think on thousand of people with mige motors?

the 1.6.30 is a BIG step forwars on mige motors.

i really dont want to come back.

:grin:

they might release a newer version of the ioni firmware too?! and anyway you can re flash the 1.6.30 if you want that. with the new upcoming firmware

Yeah and a SimuCUBE firmware doesn’t overwrite Ioni firmware if the Ioni is new enough. I was just talking about what to include for auto update IF an update is required.

Thats cool! Thanks.

Regards.

Hi

I am happy with the current simucube version and the last ioni is working as well so this is only a question from me really. What is the plan when do you want to publish the next stable ioni fw? Is it possibel that we will get it soon or the development needs more time?

We are working on it.

Quick update: IONI FW 1.6.90 has been released. It has improved regen algorithm (to address changed feeling in some cases). Now FW uses the traditional regen resistor as first option and fall-back to the alternative method only if regen resistor is near it’s heat disspiation limit. Also Measure R&L feature has been fixed. I hope you enjoy it :slight_smile:

I have installed the latest Simucube firmware. I wanted to know if the procedure for updating the IONI FW has changed. It seems the instructions on Wiki are confusing for me(noob).
Can we update this thru the configurator?
Any help as far as proper steps to take would be appreciated.
thanks
Hardware: SimRacingBay small mige OSW

There is more hiss at idle and u can feel the hiss thru the wheel again like in 161.
10630 was a lot more quiet. @ small mige 10.000ppr.

but no tbw noise from tbw unlimited just the idle motor hiss.

Testing driving now.
