Popular Post mrelwood Posted April 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2020 We now have an update for the firmware 2.01 on 16S, the 2.02. Details says only "apptest", so if you want to be careful or if this is your only wheel, it might be better to wait. Upgrading I upgraded a 2017 16S (purchased from Aliexpress) as a Guest user on the Soft Tuner app on an iPhone X. Despite my wheel's serial number being marked for mainland China retail (no upgrade offered on DarknessBot or EUC World), the upgrade went succesfully on the first try. The Soft Tuner of course is a temporary app for iOS users and has quite a buggy UI experience. Calibrating The 2.01 upgrade forced a calibration immediately after the upgrade, and since it came as a surprise, had to be done again. 2.02 didn't do that, it just disconnected from the app. After pressing the power button once the wheel was operational. I wanted to calibrate anyway, but I had a bit of trouble reconnecting the Soft Tuner properly. Seems best to force quit the app and start over. Same seemed true after the calibration as well. What's new? Gyro Angle Adjustment from -10° to +10°! The wheel must be stopped for the setting to take effect, and I wasn't able to make small changes (like from -1° to -3°) without setting the slider to +10° first and tapping Confirm. Then I could select -3° and Confirm. Updated riding algorithm (at least Hard mode). The difference to 2.01 is subtle compared to the huge overhaul the 2.0 brought us, but overall the behaviour is a bit smoother. On 2.01 I could feel when the wheel entered the bold new power delivery range. Especially on stronger braking, where the wheel started pushing against my heels. On a steep bumpy incline as well, the bumps made the wheel go in and out of the bold 2.0 mode, which, while much more stable than 1.x, was slightly jumpy. 2.02 has a more constant feel of power in the same incline. In a sense this could be felt as an ever so slightly softer riding mode. But most of all I'd call it smoother and more consistent. I didn't try max speed, tilt-back or lights, or seek new features further than that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daley1 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 U r a gutsy man!I hate being a guinea pig and ask to update a firmware without it being explained to me what it will do for my wheel.I,m not sure how many beta testers they use before releasing this but I,m always going to be a late adopter of these changes and new hardware. I am not a crash test dummy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven007 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I have recently upgraded version 2.02 to my 16S v2 2019 840Wh. Everything seems good except for the horn function. Horn cannot be activated from app neither with the default nor user customized voice. Does anyone have same problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matheou Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Hey guys pertaining to this subject I just got a new 16x from eWheels and the firmeware out of the box is 1.0.8. When I turn on DarknessBot is wants me it asks me if I want to “upgrade” to 1.0.7(not sure if that’s even possible but that’s what it says.) Should I try to downgrade to 1.0.7 or should I upgrade to 2.02. Not sure what to do feels like I’m in FW limbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just upgrade it 2.02 probably the best firmware so far 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
