FIRMWARE UPGRADE ON MAC

Post by Magnum1956PMQ » Tue Dec 11, 2018 5:31 am

Hello, I managed to update the firmware of ZINO on my I-MAC, through the installation of VMWARE FUSION virtual machine in test mode 30 days free.
A bit of trouble to connect the ZINO USB on this VM, but by clicking a few USB connection parameters, I saw it appear and I started the update, as indicated in the video, step by step step.
(Very Important: at the end, when you copy the files for the camera, in the video we see 2 files, but there is a third one which must also be copied on the MicroSD, then erase the 3 after the update. day)

WARNING:
The update files have been changed since yesterday!
Repeat the download on the HUBSAN website.

The ZINO looks softer to maneuver, the camera wheel is more progressive too, the settings are now accessible and editable. (Note: you have to switch to "video" to change the video settings).

I only have to test all this in flight .... I will give you my final opinion afterwards.
Good flight to all

Thank you Ailsa.
However, the VMWARE solution is a PROVISIONAL solution, and expensive beyond 30 days. It was an emergency solution for MacOs owners.
It is understood that we expect HUBSAN to carry out an "upgradeTool" for MAC, because many people will not know how to install and use VMWARE. This is a minimum in 2018 for the 2 most common systems in the world !!

I come back from 2 flights with 2 batteries after updating the FIRMWARE.
Many problems have been solved, the ZINO is a little softer to drive, it is more stable and the camera control wheel is more progressive, with a slight inertia.
I used all modes of smart flights, except 2 that are not operational (in creative video: "Fly to the sky" and "Photography in orbit"), all other modes work correctly (on IOS). The target tracking mode works well too, but it is limited to 15m distance, which is short!
The button to review his videos or photos is still not active.
The settings of "feel" operations "virtual joysticks are not accessible connected device, we can not see the virtual joysticks either.
Everything else works and well.

The speed remains limited to 30 km / h (8.5 to 9.0 m / sec). Too bad!
The chosen one that bothers me the most with the ZINO is the speed of descent which is really very very slow ....
