Release Notes:
- Software: 3.4.239, Firmware: 3.4.239 (71° official release), 30 July 2025:
• For users adjusting the tail gain to too high values causing strong fluctuations in the tail, the repetition of event 106 “The required Rudder speed is higher than the model can achieve” is limited to a maximum of 4 times per second in order not to saturate the events
• At the request of several users, the ‘Tail Motor Driven’ icon is now also active for Brain 2 standard and Brain 2 BT
• At the request of some users, by adding the option “-comselection” in the command line, when the configuration app is run, a small window appears first for selecting the COM, which is useful for those who have paired more than one Bluetooth module with their PC and do not want to wait for automatic recognition to complete
• in ADVANCED section 4 “Servos” added the subpanel for the regulations of the excursions of “B-Aux3/CH4” auxiliary servo output
• Added the blue event n.75 “Saved Configuration file”
• Added the green Event 11 “Init Completed”
• In DIAGNOSTIC, tab "Recorded log" if you press "Clear Video" the buffer of already downloaded flights is emptied, so that you can download again
• By setting all loggable parameters to “No Log”, the received RPM value on GOV port (parameter 11) can still be displayed in the Real Time tab
• Now, csv files (Recorded Logs.csv, Events.csv) altered by loading and saving in other applications that double the number of carriages returns at the end of each line are also recognized, accepted and uploaded
• Shortened some of the names of loggable parameters by eliminating blank spaces and also eliminating the gaps between the end of the label and the next checkbox so that they are all visible even with reduced screens and/or low resolutions
• AileronOut & ElevatorOut signals are read and displayed in Real Time Logs and in Recorded Logs also when “FLYBARRED” is selected in “Main Rotor Blade Size” panel 10 of the Wizard
• Added Info buttons to the ‘RealTime Logs’, ‘Recorded Logs’, “Vibrations” and ‘Events’ tabs in the DIAGNOSTIC section, which display inside balloons the instructions for those specific panels
• Now, even in Demo Mode, new users can see how the firmware update window is designed and how it works (but it is not possible to update the firmware when in demo mode without a flight controller connected)
• Added some functions in the firmware for diagnostic purposes to facilitate and speed up diagnosis and technical support to users who request it
• New version of embedded document “README_for_OpenTX_EdgeTX_integration_for_BRAIN.pdf”

- Software: 3.4.220, Firmware: 3.4.220 (70° official release), 14 May 2025:
• For the cyclic and tail servos, we increased the maximum refresh rate to 1150Hz. In this way, the optimal operating parameters for Futaba's new UR servos (center pulse 200us 1150Hz) and/or Theta servos (center pulse 300us 1000Hz) can be configured in ADVANCED, section 4 ‘Servos’
• Now by activating (or deactivating) the H-4X 4-servo swashplate, it is no longer necessary to reboot the flight controllers to activate the correct servo 0 operation, but the operation is adjusted in real time upon selection
• For control units that still use the older model gyro sensor, we have deactivated the controls that were added in the latest firmware version for the new sensors because some users report difficulties when switching on the older control units for the first time
• When using motors coaxial to the main shaft, in the vibration graphs, the reference labels ‘Motor’ and ‘Head’ are no longer superimposed on each other so that it is clearer that high vibrations can be generated by both
• Added some functions in the firmware for diagnostic purposes to facilitate and speed up diagnosis and technical support to users who request it
• Corrected, improved, and made some paragraphs of the instructions clearer and more complete
• Shortened some of the names of loggable parameters by eliminating blank spaces and also eliminating the gaps between one checkbox and the next so that they are all visible even with reduced screens and resolutions

- Software: 3.4.201, Firmware: 3.4.201 (68° official release), 12 February 2025:
• ESC Events: If errors are transmitted from the ESC telemetry while the flight control unit is still initializing, they are saved and recorded in the flight control unit's EVENTS immediately after initialization is completed
• The ‘Min V to go’ function now holds the motor in place even when YGE ESCs are used, which unlike all other ESCs, when programmed to work with Futaba brings the minimum value of throttle pulses to switch off the motor below 1000uS (to 950uS)
• JR X-Bus Protocol A: handle unforeseen situations where users incorrectly program transmitters with a throttle signal below -5% and/or above +105%
• The “Configure Bluetooth module” function to initialize and change PIN and NAME of Bluetooth modules now works with more model of Bluetooth modules (the total time the two LEDs both stays lit indicating the sending of the various initialization commands to BT module is now ~12 seconds)
• Added QOS for FrSky receivers that can set the serial output connected to CH3 to “SBUS out” mode (EG: TD-RXX)
• Now with Graupner ‘Basic telemetry’ (RPM for Nitro, Gasser, Turbine models) is also simulated with ‘HoTT Sensor Kind’ set to ESC (that is the default sensor kind) in case ELEC and GEN are already used by external sensors connected to the telemetry bus
• Improved in DIAGNOSTIC the resolution of vertical scale of VSAT parameter (renamed to “SAT Voltage”)
• Following the appearance of 12V servos on the market, event 161 (Servo Voltage greater than...) now occurs when the voltage exceeds 13V.
• In COUNTERS added ‘One Way Bearing’ to the list of components whose time-of-use is to be calculated
• For receivers that can be programmed by the transmitters to use different protocols (EG: F.Port/F.Bus, Crossfire, etc.) the QOS values (Fades, Frame losses, Holds, Frame Rate, etc.) are reset to zero even when changing communication protocols without cycling the power supply.
• Added inside “Brain2OpenTX-EdgeTX.zip” the new folder “_HOTT_MULTI”
• New version of "Brain2_FwdPrg.lua" (inside the folder “_SRXL2_MULTI” in the “Brain2OpenTX-EdgeTX.zip”)

• Added to the ELRS/TBS other six new transmitted telemetry values: Main rotor RPM, Temperature, Servo Voltage, Global Vibrations, Vertical Speed, Relative Altitude (the last two only when a Variometer is connected, and the related telemetry activated)
• For loggable value Servo Voltage, the vertical scale in Realtime and Recoded display was increased from 9V to 13V for new 12V servos
• For the OMP, ZTW, XDfly ESCs for which the manufacturers have not provided in their configuration software the Correction Factor for the current consumed to compensate for the inevitable tolerances of the components used in production, the “mAh Correction Factor %” of the flight controller has been activated. The same was also done for the other ESCs that already have the correction factor in their configuration software (YGE, Kontronik, Scorpion) because it is much simpler, easier and faster to do this using the configuration apps of the flight control units or the Integration at the flying field
• Improved decoding of serial telemetry signals transmitted with high bps by some ESC types (Kontronik, HWV5, OMP, ZTW, XDFly) when used simultaneously with receivers using high bps serial protocols (Crossfire, F.Bus)

- Software: 3.4.179, Firmware: 3.4.179 (66° official release), 12 June 2024:
IMPORTANT NOTE: Those using FastForward Integration with transmitters that have a 4-in-1 module (internal or external) must update the transmitter files using the new ones in the new “Brain2OpenTX-EdgeTX.zip” package, otherwise there would no longer be a 100% match in the commands.
• Added decoding of the PowerBox P2BUS protocol with telemetry for PowerBox receiver with added automatic recognition and decoding for SRXL-16 protocol (but without telemetry). 12 new connection diagrams added for Wizard panel 4
• Added decoding of the telemetric JR XBUS A protocol for JR Receiver and automatic recognition and decoding for XBUS A, XBUS B & XBUS INH for DMSS Remote (without telemetry). 12 new connection diagrams added for Wizard panel 4

• Changed the default (after a “Reset to factory default” or “Reset Log to default”) loggable value “RxTail” to “TailOut” for a more complete diagnosis
• When "Rescue Activated" event occurs the redundant "Auto Level Activated" event is not recorded at the same time (Rescue only works together with Auto Level Activated)
• Reduced the Pitch percentage with flight controller in Factory default from 40% to 35% to avoid possible servo binding during initial setup after activating the servos that could go under stress and overheat damaging themselves. Note: Those who have never adjusted the pitch value and have always left the default value (40%) will find themselves with reduced pitch (35%) and will have to reset it to 40% with this update
• Now when a model is selected from the Model drop-down in the first panel of the Wizard, in addition to presetting the swashplate type and blade length, the "Model Is Electric" checkbox is also changed depending on the type of model selected (Electric – Nitro/Gasser/Turbine)
• If while in panels 8 or 9 in which Check Mode is automatically active, a backup save of the configuration is made, in the saved configuration file the Check Mode is saved inactive
• When “Standard Receiver” is selected in panel 3 of the Wizard, and CH4-5-6 connector is used for channel reception and ESC are connected directly to the receiver instead of the flight control unit, in the “Telemetry” curtain of panel 12 of the Wizard the selection of ESC’s telemetry or Temperature Sensors are blocked, and an explication message is displayed if user try to select these telemetry
• When “Telemetry Disabled” (previously only “DISABLED”) is selected in the Telemetry curtain, Integrations can continue to work
• On panel 3 “Receiver protocol” of the Wizard using only Spektrum DSMX satellites, in addition to the DSMX icon, the Multi-Protocol icon can now also be selected to achieve the exact same operation and behavior
• Changed the icon “BEGINNER” to NOVICE-SCALE” in panel 11 “Flying Style Setup” to highlight the changes done to this setup in a precedent release
• Moved the three “Use Governor” checkboxes from panel 11 “Flying Stile Setup” to panel 12 “Optional Governor Setup”
• Replaced the two buttons, start and stop, with a single Start/Stop toggle button in the two Realtime and Vibrations panels of the DIAGNOSTIC section
• Updated the “Receiver Protocol” panel 3 for the old Brain, Micro-Brain, iKon and Micro-iKon control units to make it more clear that the following protocols cannot be decoded and used with old units: SRXL2, Smart.Port, F.Port inverted, F.Port uninverted, F.Bus, S.Bus2, ELRS / TBS Crossfire, I-Bus, M-Link with telemetry, SUMD with telemetry, JR X-Bus A, DMSS, P2Bus
• Added in the ADVANCED section of the Windows, Android & iOS apps the progressive numbering to the various sections from 1 to 10, which corresponds to the numbering of the pages of the integrations to make the transition from apps to integrations and vice versa more immediate, clear and simple

• Added some new diagnostic infos in Recorded Log files
• Added inside the zip files Brain2OpenTX-EdgeTX, Brain2crossfire, Ethos_Integration, Brain2Jeti the file "Integration Help" in text format (also the markup version for ETHOS) viewable on the transmitter screen and in PDF format viewable on a Smartphone / Tablet / PC to remind at the airfield of the operation of various integration parameters in case of need
• For Brain2OpenTX-EdgeTX, Brain2crossfire Integrations recognition of the active Setup before entering one of the Setup parameter pages (page 7, 8, 9, 10) and loading values for the active Setup is now also recognized within the various pages that reload values when changing Setups. In addition, the active Setup is also displayed in the title bar (the same function has also been improved for the ETHOS Integration)
• Since the first servos operating at 12V have appeared on the market, all 100 diagrams of the Standard, HD, Mini, Standard+BT and HD+BT Brain2 and iKon2 flight controllers have been updated, indicating that the maximum operating voltage is 15V (indication that was previously not necessary)

• Added in panel 1 of the Wizard the item “Transmitter Mode” for a better support and statistic purpose
• In panel 5, the "Tail Gain" signal slider changes to blue color if during subsequent tail setup it was decided not to use a radio channel to control tail gain but to select the "Is set in software" checkbox. This is because in this case it will be more obvious that the tail gain slider position in panel 5 and controlled by the transmitter, cannot modify the tail gain
• Added three traffic lights in the title bar of Wizard panel 5 that indicate in real time whether the receiver and/or satellite 1 and/or satellite 2 are working or not working or whether the signal is intermittent

• Added decoding of the new F.Bus protocol used with the new FrSky ETHOS transmitters. For now selectable only from the protocols drop-down menu in: ADVANCED => Common => Receiver
• Added a power supply voltage check that prevents the firmware update process from starting if the voltage is too low. This is because by analyzing the external event memory of the Flight Control Units that came back with the processor ROM erased and/or altered, we have seen that in these returns the events "Voltage <= 4,3V" are always present
• Added in the Firmware update progress windows the red phrase “Do not disconnect and do not remove power and do not close the program until the update process is finished !!!”
• Added a new message box “No Firmware selected” that appear if in the Firmware selection no firmware was selected before click on “Upload Now”

If Hobbywing or Jive Pro or YGE are selected also “ESC Temperature 2 (°C & °F)” are transmitted. If Jive Pro or YGE are selected also “ESC BEC Current” is transmitted. A New AUTO Discover is not required, but all new parameters must be Added in “New Displayed Telemetry” if you want to see it
• Added in the File menu the “Reset Logs to default” command
• With Tandem Rotor models, by giving elevator commands the pitch increase of one rotor is greater than the pitch reduction of the other rotor to achieve a behavior of Tandem Rotors models more similar to that of single rotor models
• Rewritten, simplified and reduced size of Firmware unifying some similar routines used for S.Port+S.Bus, F.Port, F.Port2
• If FrSky Neuron ESC’s telemetry signal is connected to the S.Port bus via an “Y” cable the ESC telemetry is recognized and can be recorded in Flight Controller logs
• Added to the OpenTX the “PowerOut” pwm value (0-100%) with the sensor name “1000” (like for global vibrations, there are no predefined sensor for this kind of value in actual OpenTX versions)
• Added the Event “Voltage > 8V4” as a warning that the receiver and/or servos may be damaged at such supply voltages, and that the BEC regulator may have failed
• Added the Event “Flight Count increased” to better understand if that Event group is related to a real flight or to a bench test / ground test. Note: the “Flight Count” value in COUNTER section may not correspond to the number of Recorded Logs due to possible bench logging
• Now in all “Integrations” “Pitch Out Max:” is displayed correctly also if “Reversed Pitch” is selected
• Now using OpenTX S.Port + S.Bus protocol and connections, no more “sensor lost” message happen for VFAS sensor
• Restored the filtering of the RPM signal used by the Governor to the highest filtering values used prior to the FW versions 3.4.013 because of problems with some ESCs (Castle Creation) with high noise on RPM wires
• Starting with firmware 3.4.XXX the Spektrum Binding via Software and/or via Hardware does not work with SRXL2 receivers and the on-board bind button of the SRXL2 receivers must be used. Fixed
• Now also with the F.Port2 protocol the secondary receiver connected via “S.Bus In” to the main receiver is correctly working
• Values of Exponential’s that cause a slight change in the output values now work only for Pitch channel and not for all the other channels
• Now if the unit still has the factory firmware, the configuration software won't start if you don't update the FW to a valid version, as explained in the instructions the units must not be configured and must not fly with factory firmware
• Now the parameter selection dropdowns of the Windows configurator are opened by clicking in any area of the dropdown instead of the small button on the right as before
• In panel n°1 “General Instructions” of the Wizard, “RadioMaster" has been added to the transmitter drop-down list and "Oxy 5 Nitro" has been added to the model selection list and at the request of some users "Zigsaw AYA" has been added in the blade’s selection dropdown
• In panel n°3 “Receiver Selection” of the Wizard, in the Multiprotocol icon and lateral instructions the Spektrum SRXL2 protocol has been moved to the first position so that it can be more easily and quickly viewed by those who often select by mistake the Spektrum SRXL protocol used only by 4649T receivers
• In panel n°3 “Receiver Selection” of the Wizard, in the OpenTX icon removed the FrSky name so that it is clearer that this protocol can be used also with all other brand using OpenTX (EG: RadioMaster, etc.)
• In panel n°3 “Receiver Selection” of the Wizard, when the Multiprotocol icon is selected, the Automatic Channel Assignment based on the received protocol is also performed when Spektrum satellites are connected but the flight controller is only powered by USB without powering Servo Bus and the Spektrum receiver connected to the CH3 connector
• In panel n°4 “Connections” of the Wizard, when “F.Port / F.Port2 INVERTED” icon is selected, the correct schematics is displayed (Without Spektrum Sat’s)
• In panel n°5 “Transmitter Setup” of the Wizard, added to the labels “Aileron”, “Elevator”, “Tail”, “Pitch”, Throttle” the word “Stick” so that new users can understand better that the movement and direction of the sliders is relative to the movement coming from the transmitter sticks and absolutely not related to the output movement of the servos
• Now in panel 5 the throttle channel range no longer stops between 0% and 100% but between -5% and +105% to allow users to calibrate the correct TX range more precisely
• In panel n°5 “Transmitter Setup” of the Wizard, when “H4-X” swashplate is selected, also the new “B-Aux3 (CH4 Output)” cursor is displayed because can be used for retractable landing on scale models
• In panel n°7 “Servo Setup” of the Wizard, the first icon of the tail servos with center pulse of 1520us which used to set a refresh rate of 165Hz has been changed and now sets 333Hz as refresh rate since 99% of the users use 1520us tail servo with this frequency
• In panel n°8 “Swashplate Setup” of the Wizard, the number boxes now display the real value in microseconds added or removed to the center pulse value (1520us) of the swashplate servos
• In panel n°9 “Tail Rotor Setup” of the Wizard, now the fields you want adjust with the +/- buttons are highlighted in green according to the position of the tail stick of the transmitter
• In panel n°8 “Swashplate Setup” and panel 9 “Tail Rotor Setup” of the Wizard only when in DEMO MODE removed the annoying message boxes "Unit cannot enter check mode"
• In panel n°10 “Blade Size Selection” of the Wizard, the preset values are now different if “Tandem Rotors” icon is selected in panel 6
• In panel n°11 “Auto Level / Rescue” of the Wizard, as already suggested in the lateral instructions, from now the “Auto Level” and “Rescue” checkboxes cannot be activated for Setup1 (if already activated, can be disabled but cannot activated again)
• In panel n°12 “Throttle Out ….” of the Wizard, a warning message was added when the “Reverse” button is pressed before effectively reverse the Throttle Out signal
• In Advanced, revised the sequence of the menu to be more similar to the sequence of the Wizard panels. The menu sequence has been revised in the same way also in Spektrum, Jeti, OpenTX, Graupner Integrations
• In Advanced, Common, Receiver, added to the list of parameters adjustable through a dedicated radio channel "Telemetry: mAh Correction Factor %" & "Telemetry: Min V to go (cell numbers)" so that can be assigned to free channels of the transmitter so that through a two or three position switch of the transmitter assigned to those channels you can switch the type of battery used (different number of cells and different capacity of the Lipo pack used)
• In Advanced, Common, Receiver, when the Calibration Parameter curtain is opened from “No Calibration Parameter” the displayed parameters list start from top instead of bottom
• In Advanced, Common, CCPM, when H1 90° swashplate is selected now it is also graphically displayed

All the new functions and improvements already listed for this "Software & "Firmware” release, plus:
• iOS: revised for working also with the new versions of Night Theme
• Android: Improved the graphic display in landscape mode
- Software 3.3.039, Firmware 3.3.039 (47°) 09 December 2020
• Introduced the possibility to control Tandem Rotors models such as the Vario Chinook
• Added the possibility to log RPM also from a second electric motor (EG: model with tail motor or model with two motors like Velos)
• Added the possibility to read and record in the Flight Logs the value of a PWM signal output from an external device
• Added the possibility to control through an additional radio channel assigned to the new B-Aux3 function, a PWM signal output on the CH4 connector to control an additional function in addition to the B-Aux2 one already present on the CH2 connector. To disable PWM Output set B-Aux3 to “No Channel”
• Now even with standard receivers with separate channels wires, the QOS values of the received signal are calculated and therefore also with these receivers the parameters "RxFrameRate mS", RxFades n°", Frame Losses n°", Holds n°" can be recorded in the flight logs memory
• Added to the loggable parameters “Global Vibrations” value
• Added to telemetric parameters manageable via Jeti telemetry “Global Vibrations”
• Added to telemetric parameters manageable via Spektrum telemetry “Global Vibrations” under the emulated sensor “Fuel Status”. “Fuel Consumed” is the instantaneous value of “Global Vibrations” for which the alarm can be set, “Flow Rate” is the maximum value of “Global Values” reached during flight

• Added the new event “Loaded a Configuration File”
• Now telemetry values are read also from old Platinum V3 ESC’s. Only RPM & Power Output (PWM). If ESC governor is used, Power Output can be very useful to verify that the used gear ratio is correct
• Added the new loggable parameter "ExtRxVoltage" which is the voltage read by the auxiliary connector ("extra voltage") available on some Futaba receivers (already telemetrically transmitted on the RX slot 0)
• Now with SPM4649T receivers the voltage seen on “Telemetry” page of TX for “Volts” sensor is that read from the “V Batt” connector of the 4649T RX (in the “Flight Log” page the voltage reported for “Receiver” continue to be the Servo Voltage of Brain2 as before)
• Now Fades calculations work with SRXL2 protocol also with DX6 or DX7 Gen2 EU version transmitters working only at 22ms (it is required a new 4651T firmware that responds as required by the protocol, to the bind status interrogation)
• Revised the range of Fine tuning by dials / potentiometers / Trim increasing PID range for tail, aileron and elevator with some update of the min and max values
• For those who, after setup, use pitch curves with reduced negative values (reproductions, some beginners, etc.), the storage of dials values are now also performed with collective pitch values between -100% and zero
• Eliminated repetitions of EVENTS when the motor fast start of Autorotation Bailout is running
• Revised for F.Port the “Frame Rate” calculation due to the different frame rate in ACCST mode (9ms) and in the new ACCESS mode (7ms)
• Eliminated the annoying false alarms generated with SRXL2 receivers if during setup with a USB powered control unit the power is removed and restored to the receiver and servos
• When in demo mode, if a configuration file is loaded, the type of control unit from which the file has been saved is recognized and the correct scheme for that type of unit is displayed
• Removed the automatic switching between “Tail Gain” and “Setup Selection” channels when selecting "Is set in Software" for tail gain
• Tail Motor Driven: the short tail rotor starts up when the swashplate movements that show that the initialization of the control unit has been completed, are removed
• Tail Motor Driven: Now in addition to the Advanced section, the tail motor limits can also be adjusted from the Wizard's Tail Setup (Output) panel
• If one or more servos are disabled in ADVANCED, the servo icons in the WIZARD are completely disabled
• To avoid the useless sending of unit returned as with defective outputs but without any defect, now if the correct MIXER CCPM is not selected, or if the swashplate or tail servos are not set, the background of the "Swashplate Type Selection" and/or "Servo Setup" panels are highlighted in orange
• When in “Throttle Out” section of Wizard, throttle is reversed (EG: for nitro or gasser servos) the text color of “Reverse” button changes
• Now when the unit is in Boot Loader mode a message informs the user if internet connection is not active for firmware download
• Now the software version is displayed also on the top bar of the unit selection when in Demo Mode
• Reduced minimum rotation speed value for Ailerons and Elevator from 100°s to 80°s (F3C)

Android / iOS app’s:
All the new functions and improvements already listed for this "Software & "Firmware” release”
- Software 3.3.001, Firmware 3.3.000 (40°) 27 December 2019
NOTE: Updates for original Brain/iKON units are now discontinued – future firmware versions will not apply to the older units. From this version on, the Windows, Android and iOS apps will maintain backwards compatibility with old firmware versions. There will no longer be the need to update the firmware in order to make a settings change with new software’s. To improve load times, the update server will no longer serve up firmware for the legacy units. This means that downloading firmware updates will now be faster!
• From now the Aux channel is separated in to two different channels, one (B-Aux1) dedicated to the Auto Leve / Rescue function and the other (B-Aux2) dedicated to the CH2 output. During the first update the new B-Aux2 channel is set equal to the actual B-Aux1 channel so for users there is any change from the actual configuration
• Now to the CH2 output can be assigned a different radio channel from that used for the Auto Level / Rescue activation and used independently for the control of Buzzers, Turn On GlowPlug, Position Lights, Retractable Landing gear, Smoke Generators, Servo to adjust the carburation, etc. etc. or for the control by CCPM Mixer of fourth servo for H-4X swashplate
• Added H-4X swashplate icon in the “Swashplate Type Selection” page of the wizard and in the selection curtain of “Swashplate Type” in the Advanced => Common => CCPM. Selecting this Swashplate kind, the CH2 output is assigned and controlled by the CCPM Mixer and the B-Aux2 parameter shown in the "Transmitter Setup (Input)" panels is removed. This function doesn’t work with standard receivers and PPM/SUMO Receivers
• Revised in Advanced => Common the panel "CCPM" to show the new parameter "Servo 0 Angle (yellow):" that it is activated and graphically displayed only when the swashplate H-4X is selected
• Added in Advanced => Common => Servos the panel for the regulation of “Servo 0/Aux2/CH2” parameters
• Added in Spektrum and Graupner Integrations the selection for Swashplate CCPM H-4X and in Diagnostic the selection for the loggable B-Aux2 channel
• Added in Spektrum and Graupner Integrations in the Servo section all the regulations of the CH2 output (Servo0)
• Added in Jeti telemetry the possibility to select the RxAux2 value
• With all the Integrations (Spektrum, Jeti, Graupner, FrSky) and the app’s (Windows, Android, iOS) when the kind of a servo is changed (EG: between standard and tail servo and viceversa), the reverse status is maintained
• Now when in the “Swashplate Type Selection” panel, H-1 swashplate is selected (EG: Raptor), in the successive panel “Swashplate Setup (Output)” it is possible to regulate the excursion of “Pitch” and “Cyclic” servos precedent assigned only to CCPM Mixers without the need to go in Advanced (removed instructions of this). When H-1 swashplate is selected value for Pitch and Cyclic start both at 50%
• Now the minimum value for Ramp Up can be reduced to 2 (from 3 before) for scale models (also with Integration’s)
• Now with Spektrum telemetry in the telemetry page of Voltage/RPM/Temp when the Basic Telemetry or a Temperature sensors (Nitro) is selected, the Voltage field display the Servo Voltage instead than the Battery pack voltage displayed when an ESC is used
• Wizard “Tail Setup”: now user can see values changes and it is no more “blind” when “+” and/or “-“ buttons are pressed. Introduced limits to maximum and minimum values so that Tail Servo can no longer go out of sync and stop working
• Little reduction of the default values for maximum tail rotations when a “Flying Style” is selected in the Wizard. This to reduce the complaint from user for “Rudder output limit reached” Events
• Now, when a new Firmware update is available, in the window asking whether to update (Ok) or postpone the update (Cancel), no buttons are preselected anymore. The user must choose and decide what to do to move forward
• Fixed a problem with binding via software of SPM4649T introduced with 3.2.060 which forced bind using bind plug in to SPM4649T male connector
• Added in “Servo Charts” MKS Servo-tech HV93 and Lynx DS 895-HV Spektrum SPMSH3050 and SPMSH3060 servos
• Added Instructions for B-Aux2 in panel 6 and for CCPM H-4X swashplate in panel 7

Android / iOS app’s:
All the new functions and improvements already listed for "Software & "Firmware” with more:
• For iOS the app prevents the device (Smartphone/Tablet) from automatically entering sleep mode, resulting in loss of the Bluetooth connection. NOTE: Before you put your smartphone in your pocket and go flying, remember to close the app
- Software 3.2.060, Firmware 3.2.060 (39°) 31 October 2019
NOTE: In this update package the Windows, Android and iOS apps only work with the new Firmware. As a result, previous firmware versions are deactivated and can no longer be downloaded. If for any reasons you do not want to update the firmware of your units, you should therefore avoid updating the Windows app ("Cancel" when a software update is proposed) and avoid updating the Android and iOS apps (by deactivating the “auto update” function of the app).
• Added the decoding of the new F.Port protocol (single wire, uninverted, bidirectional) used by FrSky selecting the “SUMD/UDI/Xbus-B/SRXLv2/Mpx-SRXL 12 & 16ch / unidirectional Spektrum SRXL” icon / protocol
• Improved the new Spektrum SRXL v2 protocol for future receivers: Better measure of Fades and other than RSSI dBm now is managed also RSSI %
• Now S.Bus protocol is also able to decode S.Bus signal coming from RadioLink receivers
• Doubled the frame rate speed with Futaba S-FHSS receivers
• Now each time the “SUMD / UDI / Xbus-B /SRXLv2 / SRXL Spektrum (unidirectional old receivers) / Mpx-SRXL 12 & 16Ch / F.Port” icon / protocol is selected for the first time, other than automatically recognizing of the right protocol also the channel assignment is automatically changed and adapted to the specific protocol
• Now with FrSky during the use of the integration there should be no "Sensor Lost" signals at all
• FrSky Integration it is now twice as fast as before (finally “acceptable”) is now more "consistent" and is no more slowed down if no sensor or 20 sensors are active and connected to the Smart.Port bus.

- Software 3.2.050, Firmware 3.2.050 (37°) 05 June 2019
• Added in firmware routines for FrSky Integration management
• Added in software under “Help” the direct link “Download latest FrSky/OpenTX Integration”
• In the MANUALS section of software added the icon for the opening of FrSky manual
• Added the new function to change the PIN and NAME of Bluetooth dongle also for devices that do not have the USB "on board" (such as Micro and Mini Brain2) executable either via Remote USB or directly via Bluetooth connection (also with Android and iOS APPs connected via Bluetooth)
• Added the configuration change of the internal and external (dongle) Bluetooth modules to work properly with the American version of Android 9 PIE when updating PIN and NAME (Even if you rewrite the same PIN and NAME that were already used before)
• New dedicated text explaining how to program the Bluetooth module PIN and NAME when a Micro or Mini is connected via Bluetooth or Remote USB
• Activated the new “Tail Motor Driven” routines (for Micro Heli only, so, for Micro Brain2 only)
• Wizard page 2: added the new "Tail Motor Driven" icon selectable only with Micro Brain2 unit
• Added the new “Proportional Tail Gain by TX” subpanel in Advanced, Setup, Tail that display Tail gain value received by the Transmitter
• Wizard page 8: only when a Micro Brain2 is connected (or selected in demo mode) added instructions for “Tail Motor Driven”
• In Advanced, Setup, Tail changed the label from "Proportional Gain by SW" to "Proportional Tail Gain by SW"
• Advanced -> Setup -> Tail: Moved "Proportional Tail Gain (SW and TX)" groups to the beginning before “Integral” & “Derivate” gains (PID sequence)
• Instructions of Wizard panel 5 modified to “Tail Gain: Set the gyro gain so that it shows an initial starting value of 45% on the panel.”
• Now with a “Reset to factory default”, "Tail Pitch Precompensation" and "Tail Cyclic Precompensation" values are also set to work on models with clockwise rotors (99% of models) instead of being set to zero. This should simplify the tail setup
• Now with a “Reset to factory default”, Tail Gain “I” value is changed from 25% to 30%
• Advanced -> Setup -> Tail: In the tooltip of "Integral Gain" changed from 25 to 30 the factory default value

• In the telemetry management of Kontronik ESC Kosmik, Kolibry, Jive Pro changed the value read and assigned to “PowerOut” from “PWM IN” to “PWM OPENING”
• Some ESCs (HobbyWing and Kontronik) complete the initialization after about 3 seconds: the output voltage of the BEC after remaining at a certain default value, moves to the programmed voltage value after 3 seconds. This sometimes causes false alarms on the transmitter every time the model is switched on, which will soon disappear by themselves or which must be reset (depending on the transmitter kind and also to the alarm thresholds). Very annoying. Solved through the workaround of having added after each "power on" a delay of 4 seconds for all telemetry protocols before the telemetry data are sent to the receivers (and from there to the transmitters)
• Wizard page 7: Now is also displayed the image of the type of swashplate selected to facilitate the recognition of servo1/2/3 connections/positions

• If during the unit configuration a user try to activate Auto Level on all the three Setup (Auto Level ever active) a warning message appear
• To speed up the startup, if the Auto Level is not selected in any Setups or even in the AUX, the routine for checking the model's position and the accelerometer's gravity measurement is skipped
• Wizard panel 13 “Flying Stile Setup”: changed the name of “3D” icon to “Acro” and “Hardcore 3D” icon to “3D”
• Wizard page 5: added in the title “Input”, Wizard pages 7 & 8 added in the title “Output” (to make it easier to understand that input and output settings are two distinct and different things. Especially for the Throttle)
• Wizard page 12: title changed from "Throttle Configuration &..." to "Throttle Configuration Out &..."
• Wizard page 12: if Governor sections are disabled (with Standard Receiver) "Motor is electric" checkbox is now correctly greyed-out
• Wizard panel 12 & Advanced -> Thrott.&Gov: the governor subpanel is now disabled if in Advanced -> Common -> Receiver, the Throttle channel is set to “No Channel” (default for Standard Receiver)
• Wizard panel 13 “Use governor” checkboxes are now disabled if in Advanced -> Common -> Receiver, the Throttle channel is set to “No Channel” (default for Standard receiver)

• Logs: for "Frame Losses" parameter the vertical scale is now changed from -200 / +1000 to -10 / +50
• Now during firmware update also the Boot Loader version is displayed
• Wizard panel 6: If the swashplate “H-1 90°” is selected, in the panel 7 Pitch e Cyclic are disactivated (greyed out) and in Advanced, Common, CCPM all mixers parameters are disabled (greyed out)
• Added instructions related to swashplate “H-1 90°” in Wizard panel 6
• Now when Software is executed, the Serial Number of the connected unit is copied into the Windows clipboard. So, Serial Number can be pasted in any document by a simply “ctrl V”
