• 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 simucubeprofiles.ini file and imported from that file. Imported profiles are added, they will not overwrite user's profiles. Feature has an indicator for successful loading and saving.
• Force scaling (in percentage) 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 to set new MMC.
• Motor configuration wizard has a field for Motor Torque Constant. If it is set, configuration tool assumes 48 V power supply and shows maximum torque value in the UI.

Changes and fixes:

• Analog button debounce time has been increased from 10 ms to 20 ms. Setting for this might be added in the future.
• Analog axis settings import/export now has an indicator for success/failure.
• Analog axis averaging has been changed from average of last 32 values to average of last 32 values but disregarding 4 highest and 4 lowest values to improve signal quality.
• 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.
• Improved resiliency against non-communicating IONI drives. This could happen if, for whatever reason, the SMO Bus Address Offset was other than 0, and the drive was still functional when using MMos firmware.
• Improved/fixed some subdialogs to work better with high-DPI displays or when display has a custom scaling factor.
• Enabling IONI USB communication mode does not cause a SimpleMotion error / Fault in the IONI drive anymore.

• 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

• 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

• 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.
