As an early Christmas gift, we’ve just released a number of updates in the latest SP140 controller firmware: v6.5!
You can check out all the details on GitHub, but this update is highly recommended for those using the USB-C style connector (aka RP2040 chip).
• v6.4 fixed a rare bug.
• v6.3 improved font display and screen updates
If you haven’t upgraded in a while, now’s a great time!
The changes are live on the config tool now. A heads-up: some users had issues with the config tool on earlier versions, but this has been resolved in v6.5. If you’re still having trouble updating, reach out—we’re happy to help.
Hi Zach,
does the vibration feature work in this firmware? My controller comes with a vibration driver, but the vibration feature doesn’t work after updating.
Thanks,
Radek
yes, it was possible to activate it intentionally in version 6.0 and after compiling it worked without any problems, but after reorganizing the sources in version 6.5 I have no idea how it works.
Thanks for the feedback; I may have found the culprit with some code that changed for certain boards regarding the vibration motor. I’ll have a new firmware version to test soon if you don’t mind
If you’re on older firmware (pre 6.0), then you will also need to update your ESC, which is a bit more involved. The video for that is here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jY3-QPUd-L0
Since you didn’t mention what version you’re on specifically (it shows when you connect to the config tool also), it’s hard to say what the big changes are, so it’s up to you. If everything is working as you like then there’s no urgency to update
