New Ikon / Brain firmware

[KevG]

So guys who is going to be or crash test dummy and evaluate this new firmware for the Hangout,

any takers?

[Derek]

Well, I have the Ikon on my Trex 600 Pro and I just ordered another Ikon for my 2015 project. I'm not going to rush to get the new updates just yet. I'm going to be following a few people on Youtube and HF. Many of them have already done the update and they are planning flights for tomorrow. I'm going to wait for a few weeks and we'll just see what happens.

I don't think that many of the changes "actually" effect my flight style.

If you guys find any info regarding the update worth sharing, please post it up here.

- Cyclic Rotational Speeds are now separated for Aileron and Elevator

- Overspeed after spoolup with some ESC: fixed

- Dynamic headspeed management during extreme overspeed maneuvers added

- Random hot start on startup on some ESC: fixed

- Governor precompensation optimization

- Added tail drag precompensation

- Added Cyclic Pitch Pump

- Added swashplate design in radio setup for see the servo number position

- In wizard (panel 7) doubled the resolution in swashplate setup

- Factory default "Tail Dynamics" is now at 6% (easier on TT transmissions)

- In Model Size Selection (panel 11) Elevator preset D Gain raised

Setting changes to do from previous version :

- Set the new Rotational Speed
- VERY IMPORTANT Verify the cyclic rates separately for ail/elv before flying in each bank
Rates for ail/elev are in Advanced->setup1-2-3->cyclic



Android version will follow in about 2 weeks, we decided to not hold the new firmware and release for windows and have people enjoy it even if Android not out yet.

Please use it and let us know what you think.

As usual free to all users as it will always be............

Yeah that's pretty much what I have read, not sure if I want to change anything at the moment, especially without the android app support for tuning not available yet,

Don't for get the new c&c case. That should add to the functionality of the gyro. Should also make it look nice in the air.

Once I get my Gob500 back together I'll do the upgrade on it and see what happens.

Well my Brain is rock solid:) i aint upgrading at all. Nothing wrong with mine, my 550 flys perfect. If it aint broke dont fix it:)

I'm looking at it in the same way, Graham! I love how my 600 is flying. If it aint broke, don't fix it....definitely!

[Graham Lawrie]

Apart from my AR7200BX the Brain is the most stable gyro i came accross at the point of buying one, and i love it as it is:) suits my rubbish flying:)

[Marius]

That's why I love the Ikon as well. It's pretty much ready to fly without much fine tuning. I love it Think I'll maybe hold off on the update as well.
