Everyone, don’t hold your horses yet, this is a non-guaranteed project that might not ever reach actual working status. I have Suzuka 10h on the weekend, and IVRA Endurance a week after that, so it seems it will be close to December before being able to work on this project next.

Don’t say never, take that word out of your vocabulary 
Thank you for pushing the project. The SimuCUBE software are on a good level, but it’s so nice, that it an be better soon.
Even if this project was released, a regular user wouldn’t see nor feel the difference.
That’s an important observation. I am an regualr user and I have not updated yet, because I do not know if I will notice any difference between my current version (SimuCUBE Fw 0.11.2, SimuCUBE Hw Rev2 (r0005) and IONI 10707 / MiGE 130ST-M15015 Biss-C) and the new one Firmware
.
I have absolutely no clue how I missed the updates on this thread… looks like it’s time to find a way to get my Lenze and SC1 in a state ready for testing in time for xmas holidays…
The current project to get the new Simucube 2 firmware on the USB interface processor on Simucube 1 is mainly to enable support for the Simucube Tahko GT-21 wheel’s Simucube button feature, and to enable support for Simucube Wireless Wheel 2 wheels.
We know how many Simucube Wireless Wheel receiver modules have been sold, and we can estimate how many of the owners will buy either of them. The estimated ROI suggests it is highly non-profitable.

Doesn’t matter to me if that’s ever going to be released or not. The thread alone for me is worth it to get my SC1 setup in a usable state some day. It’s not about the features or firmware, it’s the dedication/sharing that inspires.
It just makes me feel that I owe it to my SC1 and old hardware to get it up and running at some point.
Stuff like this is what gets my heart pumping and why I ended up in the simracing and DIY scene in the first place.
Being open and honest is what separates the good ones from the bad ones imho. A treat that’s missed nowadays where the business has been run over by bullshit marketing and secrecy (across the world and all fields).

Bernhard if you have the original Lenze that we were using with the Argon it will indeed work with SC1.
The later high power Lenze that Dennis was selling unfortunately doesn’t run well at 48v.
I will try to find the drc file for the SC1 with Lenze for you.
If I remember correctly you also want to run the the 960 watt Meanwell power supply?
I will start searching for you. It has been a looooooong time since this topic has come up.

Yeah, I still have THE “original” (like “the first Lenze ever for that application”). That’s the same model that Dennis later used to sell in his package when he opened up his business. I think he then switched to the 380V model with a different encoder too).
My main problem actually is hardware related as I have no casing to house the fat MW-960 PSU and SimuCube - which is a big no-no because of safety concerns (open wires and stuff in the middle of the living room). Running the Lenze on a smaller PSU however is a bit lackluster, so it’s 960 or nothing…
If somebody knows someone who might be willing to sell a case/housing for SC1+MW960 don’t hesitate to PM me
You may want to check with Beano/Phillip. I know he had one up and running at one point.
It really is not the best motor for SC1. Voltage limited if I remember correctly.
I still have 2 or 3 of them. LOL
Yeah, it was a pretty good fit for the Argon though, maybe I’ll just go down that route instead and find myself some good ol’ “small MiGE” to play some “fun with sc1”. Lots of options for casings out there when you don’t have to piggypack some monster PSU…
…looking back I probably should have just kept the Mige too instead of just giving it away… lol🤦♂️ That “little” Chinese fellah would have aged really well!

This firmware supported stm32f407 discovery with ionicube 1x ?
No, only Simucube is supported. It will not work on Discovery.
Hello
Any news ?
…
Two weeks ago I got it to start on the Simucube 1 board, but many things didn’t work, and I didn’t have time to debug it more. It is likely, that there were some issues with memory running out with the Simucube 1 (and Simucube 2 Classic) style profiles.
It will be January when I will next have time to work on it.

Cut profiles. We need 5-6 profiles probably, no more.
It should not be a big issue, maybe 20 is still ok.
The device worked in such way that it always reported 0.0.0 as its version number in the status query reply, and many other fields in that packet were also zeroed out, where as the same code in Simucube 2 works fine. Also some fields that definitively were being read into the status query from servo drive did in fact show correct data.
I added some debug printouts, but it turned out that those were much for the system and it got bricked,doesn’t reply to any commands from PC.
Looks like I will have to install it via DfuSeDemo the next time. But need to do code review to find code for the zero data issue…
