The SimuCUBE has few pin headers for future upgrades and features. These are reserved until future notice.
 
==Configuration files==
 
Note: this is heavily work in progress. This section will be on separate page with more detailed step-by-step guide.

===IONI firmware===
 
Read the following guide how to upgrade the IONI firmware:
 
 
:*[[Granity user guide/Uploading a firmware]]
 
 
The latest firmware can be found here:
 
 
:*[[IONI firmware releases]]
 
 
Note: SimuCUBE requires IONI firmware 1.5.0 beta or newer! Also be sure to use latest Granity version where you can choose Granity parameter {{param|CEI}} to be SimuCUBE. Choosing this mode is necessary to make IONI drive operate on SimuCUBE.
 
 
===Motor configuration files for Granity (.drc)===
 
If you have a working configuration file for a specific motor, we would like to add it here.
 
 
Note: the inertia of the wheel affects the motor tuning parameters, so a configuration file for a specific motor can only be regarded as an example. Please refer to the Servo tuning basics and tuning torque controller pages later in this document.

Links and miscellaneous notes

If you are not using a ready configuration file for Granity, then please read servo tuning basics and torque tuning very carefully to get the idea how it's done. Every servo type requires specific parameters.

Please read also these pages to get the best possible experience of a SimuCUBE FFW system.
