Thanks all, not an issue, just a curiosity.
How about leaving the PSU switched on permanently and only using the power button on the e-stop? Safe to do or no?
This beep is annoying like hell and we should have a way to remove it.
I don’t think it is your responsability to enforce a “security” (against WHAT ? Wheel turning itself after 5 minutes if I don’t use it ? Seriously ?) and EVEN if it was the case, this is MY problem, not yours.
So please, allow us to remove this EXTREMELY annoying beep that does nothing but just…noise.
See the firmware changelog for next version. There will be just 3 beeps and then a standby mode, which will be easy to get out of, and user can prevent the standby mode.
So is there a way to disable standby mode all together? We have purchased about 6 units so far and looking to buy many more but cannot have the wheel go into ‘safe’ mode after ‘x’ of minutes of inactivity. Being able to remove this feature would be a huge help for us.
Thank-you Mika,
Would running a previous version; like 1.0.10 (September 26th, 2019 release) fix this issue temporarily for us?
There is no public way (and no simple non-public way either) to downgrade firmware to 1.0.10.
We will implement a permanent high-torque mode with disabled standby mode and no beeps for the release after the next release, due out in Q1 2020.
However, if you can’t say to sim users that they should toggle E-stop to re-enable torque, then it raises questions on whether you have safe instructions for users for DD wheels which can have high torque.
Is there a way to disable all audible notifications… completely? I have tried disabling the audible notification option in truedrive however it still beeps upon coming out of standby mode. I live in a fairly small space and work shifts. I can hop in the sim rig at any time of the day and I don’t want (and my wife doesn’t appreciate) the beep going off in the dead of night. I understand it’s a safety feature, I get it, but please give me the option to turn it off.
