SimuCUBE firmware files

Stable SimuCUBE firmware is not yet published. Until then, please consider using MMos firmware for production purposes.

Firmware / Configuration

Tool version

Included IONI firmware version Closed / Open / Official FW file Description/changes/new features
0.8.0 / 0.8.0 10601 (upcoming) Notes:
  • Unfortunately, this version will clear all profile settings. Please take note of all your settings.
  • Precautions have been made to minimize this being required in the future.

New features:

  • Profiles can be saved into profilesettings.ini file and imported from that file. Imported profiles are added, they will not overwrite user's previous profiles.
  • Force scaling is done by setting MMC on IONI drive instead of scaling the torque that goes to drive. This increases the fidelity. NOTE: To change maximum MMC, upload a new DRC file with new setting using the motor configuration wizard, or use Granity and after setting new MMC, immediately run the wizard again without uploading a new DRC file.

Changes and fixes:

  • Analog button debounce time has been increased from 10 ms to 20 ms.
  • Steering centering offset value was not saved correctly if the index point was sufficiently off-center (more than 65535 counts offset). This was evident on high-resolution encoders.
  • Maximum number of profiles has been reduced to 500.
  • Game-induced torque could easily overcome the bumbstop effect's torque, making the wheel spin uncontrollably. This has been fixed.
  • Damping filter was being sent to IONI with setting of 0.0 % if game set a damping effect. This was unintended, and has been changed for this version. On-the-fly changing damping, inertia and friction effects are not being done currently.
0.7.1 / 0.7.5 Public beta release [1] Changes and fixes:
  • Some profile settings were being set to default when running the firmware update wizard
  • Ioni filter parameters are no longer being read to the active profile, overwriting the profile values, when running the motor configuration wizard
  • Changed TBW to 1000Hz as default for all new profiles and also for the default read-only profile.
  • Minor text changes in firmware update wizard
0.7.0 / 0.7.3 Closed beta release not public New features:
  • Profile can be copied

Bug fixes:

  • Profile name did not get applied and saved if only profile name was edited
  • Configuration tool crashed if user canceled or finished the Firmware Update wizard
0.7.0 Closed beta release not public New features:
  • Working digital button inputs
  • Profile management
  • Analog settings .ini-file import/export

Bug fixes:

  • Settings change by some amount at saving or load from IONI drive.
<0.7.0 Closed beta release(s) not public No change history for these early firmware releases.

IONI firmware

As SimuCUBE requires an IONI Servo & Stepper Drive, it is recommended to keep the on-board IONI firmware at latest release. SimuCUBE firmware has the IONI firmware bundled in, and the IONI firmware will be automatically updated if the current IONI firmware on the drive is too old. For manual firmware updates, see IONI firmware releases and Granity user guide/Uploading a firmware.

Motor configuration files for Granity (.drc)

See List of motors for SimuCUBE for sample configuration settings & files for various SimuCUBE compatible motors.
