In case that there are different versions of BL-Firmware installed, the KopterTool (since V2.06e) shows the lowest version in the List:

  • /!\ we strongly recommend to update if the version Number is 1.00 or, 1.02 (red version number)!

Version V1.10

Seit 23rd Sept 2014

  • the motors are running even smoother at constant setpoint

Version V1.08

since 18th July 2014

  • Redundance: Timout for reporting "No Redundance" reduced from 100 sek to 5 sek
  • Default-Timing is 24° again

  • Bugfix: There were still some commutation problems with some motors at high currents -> for example U5 (T-Motors) or KDE 4012/4014

  • Note: If the BL is powered by the 5V of a MKUSB, the serial interface for debug Data is deactivated after selftest (blinking 6 times) - that is fixed in 1.08c

Version V1.06

since 30th June 2014

  • Redundance operation: some small bugfixes in communication
  • some small changes in I2C-Data (not important for normal MK operation)
  • Small cahnge in selftest procedure

  • "ERR:Motor restart" at high current peaks the message "ERR:Motor Restart" could occure instead of "BL-Limitation"

  • some motors lost commutation when driving at high currents

    • then comes the message "BL-Limitation" or "ERR:Motor Restart"

    • Timing 28° was improved for the case of commutation loss

  • Since V1.06e -> default timing is now 28° (in V1.06d it was 24°)

  • Note: If the BL is powered by the 5V of a MKUSB, the serial interface for debug Data is deactivated after selftest (blinking 6 times) - that is fixed in 1.08c

Version V1.04c

since 07th May 2014

Download: V1.04c

http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php/v/tech/Versionskennung.jpg.html

  • better protection against high current peaks during operation
  • Safer behavior while operation without propellers
  • Integrated watchdog that restarts the BL controllers in case of a failure
  • Various bug fixes

{i} this version is stable -> update is only nessecary if you have problems

Version V1.02d

Since 17th March 2014

  • Improved motor-start by a self-learning start phase
  • internal speed limitation

  • increased commutating speed (Max RPM is 200.000 devided by the number of magnets -> 16.666 RPM if you have 12magnets)

  • Prepared for redundant FC-Operation

  • /!\ we strongly recommend to update to version 1.04c or higher

Version V1.00f

Since 1st Jan. 2014

  • First Version

  • /!\ we strongly recommend to update to version 1.04c or higher

  • KategorieFirmware/FC
