I click the upgrade button and then the app just hangs. Tried laying it on either the right or left side, but nothing. The animation spins but it never shows a progress bar or anything. Hoping to try it out on the way home from work today! You are lucky that you can not update... This update for pensionary... Kingsong as usually mess up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUC Custom Power-Pads Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Is this a new bug or a new feature in Firmware 1.0.7? As soon as you charge with at least 5A there are continuous alarm signals (beep,beep). The distances between each other are also totally different. Within 6:30 minutes there were 6 alarm signals: Up to 4A charge rate everything is as usual, without any sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lioku Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Updated to 1.05 to 1.07 this morning from the KS app on my iPhone (iOS 13). Worked perfectly the first time. I noticed right away that acceleration is noticeably smoother. It feels really good so far. The only annoyance with this update is that the headlight now requires 4 presses to turn off after the wheel is turned on, which is a lot of attention grabbing beeping when getting off the train. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always buy a flic button from @Seba link if you use it that often and then you can switch on/off at your leisure with the touch of a buttom 👍👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm running with 1.05. What exactly does "smoother" mean? Multiple people have said this. Nothing about the wheel feels rough to me. I'm not noticing vibrations, etc. Maybe I'll have to wait until I change the firmware, but I'm still not inclined to do so. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a subtle change, but I notice less low intensity PWM vibration feeling, which wasn't really pronounced before, but it's even less now. Previously it felt a little like two well oiled cogs turning against each other. I would wait to upgrade if you have any doubt. It's not a huge change. I've rarely gone below 50% on my battery so the throttling isn't such a big concern for me. Definitely curious to hear reports about when it starts specifically and how severe it is.

Your wheel accelerating slower after update from 1.0.5/1.0.6 to 1.0.7? Please be more specific, how much slower in seconds you are now?

craio Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 17 minutes ago, Gytis said: Actually it means slower Are you talking about the word smoother or actual experience? Smoother acceleration to me would be (given that it's PWM controlled): x time at step y in which both x and y are reduced ... So if going from 20% to 40% (power) it might be 20-25-30-35-40 before while its now 20-22.5-25-27.5 etc in the same timespan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gytis Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) Slower-- it means you can push pedals very aggressive, but ... It accelerate " smooth" . Same with brakes... Especially after 1.0.5 Edited October 2, 2019 by Gytis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gytis Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Be honest, I don't care about many new features in updates, more important that wheel would " listen" me and respond to my feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with brakes... Especially after 1.0.5 When I accelerate with a Lamborghini Diablo, it's not very smooth. If I take a BMW, it's very smooth. Nevertheless, both can accelerate equally fast, so I don't quite understand your statement. But my feeling told me, the Lamborghini is faster. If you make such statements here, it would make more sense to express this in numbers before everyone starts crying again and your "feeling" is spread as a correct speed/acceleration test.

EUC Custom Power-Pads Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Unfortunately I can't go back to 1.0.6, so I can't record an acceleration test to compare with 1.0.7. But @stephencan, if he wants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craio Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 29 minutes ago, stephen said: I don't care how many x and y there is or incremental stages it's definitely not slower, kingsong themselves in the update chart says it has better acceleration , if its based on the test firmware I'll have to disagree with you and sat it's faster at the end you say "in the same timespan" so how can it be slower? Just wanted to point out that you are referring to my post and Gytis as from the same person. With my numbers I was trying to give an example of what i consider smoother (same amount of acceration in the same time but with smaller incremental steps) which isn't slower. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was nothing wrong with the acceleration on 1.06 just the throttling was crap I'll go on 1.07 today and do some tests so then i can compare 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okiiashi Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I can't seem to get my16X to actually do the update.. the circle on the app just spins with no status bar. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the App from the Kingsong site and tried Flipping the side the EUC sits... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
