OneWheel Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Ninebot needs to have one firmware edition, one firmware edition for P and one firmware edition for E. because they make to many coding mistakes in their firmwares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriscalandro Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Oh so you are a firmware engineer? Why don't you apply for a job at ninebot if you know how they should write their code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmethvin Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Judging from all the problems they have had, I think we can agree that Ninebot hasn't done a very good job of writing firmware for a device that balances a human being on top of it and moves at high speed. I'm not sure whether a firmware-version-per-model strategy is better or worse though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriscalandro Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 1.3.5 is very stable and very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpong Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I sincerely hope that Ninebot's canceling (or postponing) the P model is a signal that management has begun to take their QC problems more seriously. If 1.3.5 is good and stable then it is the exception to an ongoing bloody fuster-cluck of mistakes. I hope someone is revamping their entire QC operation surrounding these firmware updates. One can hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneWheel Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 This is what a good euc should be like , ninebot needs to learn from kingsongs quick plan do check act system for their firmware updates. Kingsong is a good euc for now, but they can fall from grace like ninebot if they take short cuts to quality and short cut to production processes (no missing screws yet but the heat sink and heating problem needs to be fix asap by Kingsong) If Kingsong adds a fan inside the unit, the fan needs to be activated before temperature rise not after, otherwise the fan is USELESS. Damage has already been done by high temperature deterioration before fan activation over short/long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a heat sink and heating problem? Same as the NB P? I don´t like the big branding of KS and prefer the stylish design of Ninebot - but at the end a save device is most important of cause.

Planetpapi Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I still won't trust 9Bot firmware updates. Can't just judge on upgrading to the latest and going down the street doesn't tell us anything. Should ride at least 50 miles or so in all types of riding conditions before we consider it safe. My 2 cents anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunzn Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 hopefully they'll fix the pedal incline bug, haven't had time to film/messure (9bMetrics) if for myself but in this video you can see it quite well. the guy jumping down the stairs (@ appx 0:32) starts with normal level pedals and after each step the pedals lean forward more until its almost impossible to stand on them. after a few meter driving it goes back to normal again. not a big bug but not nice either ...

SlowMo Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I have 150 kilometers now on my resurrected bot with the firmware 1.3.5. It's running very smoothly. I'm on ride mode 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would call it a bug, or at least an undesirable feature of 1.3.5. I have two ninebot ones, the one with 1.3.5 does this, and I find it very annoying. The one with 1.3.0 does not, and I do not plan to update it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LorenW Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I actually feel safer on 1.3.5, because it tilts when jostled too much from big hits. I have come to understand from reading the forums that demand on the battery spikes hugely during these hits. I like the reminder to slow down. But I'm also aware that that is a personal preference, and opinions will vary. Some folks just don't like tiltback, period. Pretty much no one disputes how bad Ninebot has been with the firmware updates though. They really hurt confidence in the company for a lot of folks. It's unfortunate. I really love my e+, and generally think it is a fantastic EUC. It has also been pointed out that ninebot hasn't been good about explaining exactly what is in the updates. I think that's also a very fair point. We have been left to guess whether an update will brick our EUC, and with no sense of the expected benefit of the update.
