SimuCUBE Open Source Firmware Development Update Thread

Good job :slight_smile: thanks @Mika !

Thats much faster than exspected :slight_smile:

You’re on the roll @Mika. Thanks

Big thx Mika and the rest of the team for your amazing work :slight_smile:

Just wondering, was the broken firmware update what I encountered a couple of days ago?

Yes.

I also debugged on what happened and eventually the fix was easy. Got to clean up the SimpleMotion communications code quite a bit in the process, so maintaining it should now be easier.

Installed fFactor 1 demo just now to see the effects in all their glory…

Now we just NEED TO KNOW what all the sliders do in reality… Sounds like a SKeijmel video tutorial is in the works???

its completely game dependent on what they affect. In general, vibrations are done by sine wave, although I’ve seen some game also you sawtooth effects for that… We hope to gather up some kind of small list of games on what each use, and for what…

:grinning: New Project Heading Perhaps ?

perhaps we can discuss each game in their own threads, to figure out what games use for what, and then when we have enough data to gather a small list, we will write it up on our wiki.

How about a round of … prerelease testing? in an hour or so.

Would love to oblige, however my HPP master cylinder gave out and awaiting a new one… yes I read Beano’s posts, so I will have 2, when one leaks, pop on the new one, get the other fixed, hopefully no more than once a year but, if Mark fixes it, who cares.

Prerelease is available. I would prefer someone who is still on IONI firmware earlier than 1.7.0 to test, so we can get more test cases and data on the IONI firmware update.

PM me with test offers.

I’ll go to bed now, and if there are no issues found, a release will happen tomorrow at around 15:00 UTC.

Hi Mika,
0.9.4 combined with IONI 1.7.0 feels very, very good in iRacing. I have tested the usual main functionality, and cannot find any issues or anomalies, other than to say this version combined with latest IONI fw feels the most polished to date.

Even my AKM65 servo is very happy, even more quiet wrt static noise than before.

Thank you, I would imagine this is very close to first public release then.

I buy beers next time I am there.

Cheers,
Beano

Do you guys like this wheel icon more than the original g29 style wheel ?

I like how VRS displays steering input. I think something like this would work well here.

Everybody can use their own wheel image next build. i will post some different designs.
everyone can download but that is not possible to do with just an image.
you just need a 400x400 transparant image and call it wheelimage.png and put it in your simucube config tool folder

Wheels designs are now downloadable in
Wheel Graphics For Simucube Configuration Tool Topic

That kind of graph would require a custom Qt UI element to draw. I do not have time to do that…
