    Hi all, hopefully someone could kindly give me some assistance....


    I decided to do the DD wheel thing but almost all pre setup systems were out of stock so thought I would do the whole thing myself as the individual components were available. (maybe not such a clever idea.....)


    I am using the Simucube & Ioni Pro-HC board, Mige 130ST-M15015 motor 30Nm (BiSS-C), Meanwell SDR-480 PSU.


    I have physical connected the components, and fired the lot up. I've downloaded the Granity software. Downloaded the latest firmware from Granity (1.7.14) The Simucube dialogue box says that I'm not connected and after spending alot of time wading my way around the Wiki pages.......

    So all hardware needs to be flashed, so I've concluded, but can't connect to do this.

    I'm unclear on the MMOS thing, went to the German site and joined, but still waiting for that to be confirmed so can't access the MMOS software, totally confused at this point!


    Need some help please from someone who's done this please!!

    ...Just a quick update, downloaded an earlier version of Simucube firmware and bootloader, installed and everything eventually fell into place, the wheel is recognised and working well currently!

    Hi there.

    Just to add some more details, as I have done all this process 3 days ago !

    Its all depending on when your hardware has been produced but in my case, I bought the components 3 years ago so quite old.
    In those cases, you should start with the simucube firmware 0.11.2. If you start directly, and that your ioni as a too old firmware in it, the automatic update won't work.

    So best way is to start with the 0.11.2, do the automatic update, and then use the latest (0.54.D in my case).

    If the automatic ioni firmware update doesn't work, then you have to manually do it via Granite software. (take firmware 10707), and then repeat the 0.11.2 / 0.54d process.

    You don't need MMOS anymore ! Especially if you hardware hasn't been used before and never been flashed.

    Chears,
    Articho
