I have just rolled out an important software update, that includes some cool new features:
- Huey head support added
- Single throttle MKIII collective support added (all spring-loaded switches so far)
- fast EMA filtering added for cyclic and pedals
- ADS1115 sample rate reduced for absolute smoothness of controls
Addition of support for single MKIII collective lever along with the Huey-style head means that most of MKIII users can now try upgrading to MKIV version! And the latter two features is why they probably should.
The idea of EMA filtering and sample rate reduction was offered by our DIY community member, Pablo Castro, quite a while ago. Sadly I could only try it today, and results turned out to be great! While controls were already very smooth, now they are even more precise, yet filtering doesn’t add noticeable input lag.
Thanks, Pablo!
Note that for the new version to compile, you will need to remove old ADS1115 library from your IDE and install the new one from z_libraries folder in simchair4_software repo. That library is a fork by soligen2010 that allows ADS sample rate tuning.
If you are upgrading from MKIII version, please don’t forget to select your devices in device_definitions tab manually.
