• Added FlySky i-Bus protocol (with telemetry) automatic recognition and decoding when the multiprotocol icon is selected
• Spektrum protocol SRXL2 can now work at higher speed (400.000bps) if all devices connected to the SRXL2 bus can rut at this speed. This permits a lower latency in the commands.
• Now regardless of whether the flight controller's governor is used or not, when the model blade length is selected in Wizard panel 10, the governor's Speed1/Speed2/Speed3 values are raised to the typical RPM values for the model size (low for large models high for small models)

• 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”

• 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

• After having given the command "Reset to Factory Default" from the File menu and closed the software, if you try to reopen the software without having cycled the power supply of the flight control unit as explained in the instructions, the software does not start, and a message appears indicating the user's error
• If you try to load a configuration file that is wrong or that has been saved immediately after the "Reset to Factory Default" command from the File menu, the file is not loaded, and a message appears
• If a Configuration file (MTR) is loaded in Demo Mode, panel 5 of Wizard displays the Transmitter values saved at the time the configuration file was saved
• Added in the message box that appear after a Firmware update, the phrase: ‘After updates that introduce changes to the Flight Logs, it may be necessary to reinitialize the Flight Log memory by re-formatting it with the "Erase Logs memory" command.’

• 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”

• 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

2020-07-31
• Added the ability to log FrSky RSSI reading from S.Bus channel n°16 (RSSI is always measured from channel 16, the receiver, if it is a model able to send RSSI, must be set to send RSSI value pushing bind button for 5 seconds. With this mode channel 16 cannot be used as a normal channel)
• Increased the MAX value of “Rx Frame Rate uS” to 1000 also if it is not graphically visible to be able to intercept the cause of a Throttle Fail Safe
• Solved Fades calculation problem with SRXLv2 RX when one or two DSMX sat are added (this problem did not affect the reception of radio channels or telemetry but only the calculation of the receiver's Fades)

- Increased the Minimum Value for "Rescue Pitch Max" from 50% to 60% because at 50% to some user with very low RPM the model doesn't raise but loses quota
- Improved electric noisy field immunity of Spektrum SAT's connector (EG: if a sat cable is connected to SAT1 or SAT2 port but without any sat connected on the other side the antenna done by cable don't read wrong data's)
• In the Log reversed the polarity of the "Rx Aileron" & "AileronRotationRate °/Sec" signals so, now correspond to the polarity of the "Transmitter setup" panel
- Now when a hardware error is recognized during startup sequence, Throttle Out is blocked to MIN for security reason, (it is not even possible to program esc's with the stick)
• Added for Futaba telemetry a control of the MAX Current read from Futaba/Robbe CURR-F1678 sensor to 163.8A to avoid possible overflow
• In Spektrum and Graupner Integrations reduced the minimum value of overall Cyclic gains from 10 to 7 (for micro tri blades heli) like in Windows software
• Now the new download protocol used for Events, download all the 200 last events and not only the last 175 for all kind of "2" units
• Activated the new download protocol that no more work at a fixed low speed but work proportionally to the PC speed also for "Recorded Logs Download" from unit
• Activated the new download protocol that no more work at a fixed low speed but work proportionally to the PC speed also for "Recorded Vibration Download" from unit

3.1.001
2017-06-12
• Added management of the new "HoTT + telemetry" protocol and the relative connection schemas
• Added Graupner "Telemetry"
• Added Graupner "Integration"
• Ex Bus telemetry: further revised many parameters names that now are more obvious on TX (to update names, is needed a new "SENSORS AUTO DISCOVER")
• Ex Bus telemetry: It is not possible reduce the servos frequency below 92Hz: Fixed
• Ex Bus integration: released new version of "brain.bin" file and PDF readme instructions (downloadable from MSHELI website)
- New faster autorotation bailout ramp from the governor engage (50%) point to the target RPM (pay attention if you have high "Bailout Ramp" value!)
- Governor: improved the overspeed control with nitro's
- New Boot Loader 1.7 Now is possible put the unit in Boot Loader mode shorting the TX & RX of SYS also with longer cables and also shorting CH4 & CH5 at power up (mainly for Brain2 units with Bluetooth and without the SYS connector)
- Saved in the Brain memory some new model information's (Model type, Main Blades type, Tail Blades types, Cyclic Servos type, Tail Servo type, Motor type, ESC type, Battery type, etc.) to simplify/automate/speed up the setup of the unit
- Choosing from the first page of Wizard, one of the listed Tail Servos and/or one of the listed Cyclic Servos, if the unit is in factory reset, the values in the Wizard panel 2 "Servo Setup" are set to the specified values
- Choosing from the first page of Wizard, one of the listed Models, if the unit is in factory reset, the values of the Wizard "Swashplate Type selection" and "Blades Size Selection" are set to the specified values for that model.
- Separated Servos chart for cyclic and for tail in the panel 2 "Servo Setup" of the wizard
- Now doing a double click on the row of the servo in the Servos chart, the servo chart displayed values are automatically set in to the Brain
- Added in the Servos Charts Align DS530 & DS535 standard version and "M" version and MKS DS1220, DS1230, DS1240
• Now Factory Defaulted unit record/log by default ten flight parameters at the maximum sampling rate
• In the Log reversed the polarity of the "Swash Aileron" signal so, now correspond to the polarity of the "Transmitter setup" panel
• Added a check to avoid using the same radio channel for different Calibration Channels (Dials)
• Revised variables names: RxRoll->RxAileron & SwashRoll->SwashAileron
- If radio channel assigned to "Tail gain", is disactivated with the checkbox "Is set in software", the same channel also if it is present but "greyed out" can be used for other functions
- In Advanced->Setup the active Setup is now highlighted
- Added the new "README_for_HOTT_telemetry_and_integration_for_BRAIN.pdf" in the MANUALS page
- Updated version of "README_for_ESC_datas_log_and_telemetry.pdf" (ESC telemetry work also with Futaba T-FHSS used by T10J & T6K-V2)
- Updated version of "README_for_Jeti_integration_for_BRAIN.pdf" (use of menu key for incremental value, added graphic page for vibrations)
- Also Tail servos signal is now turned off before a firmware update to avoid displacement at the start of the firmware update that sometime happen (for update from this firmware on)
- Improved/increased/completed the Blades Size range displayed inside the icons of panel 10 "Blade Size Selection" of the wizard
- In Basic->Servo Setup: added the new kind of dotted border around the icons if the relative default values are changed from the user
- In Basic->Blades Size Selection: added the new kind of dotted border around the icons if the relative default values are changed from the user
- In Basic->Flight Style Setup: added the new kind of dotted border around the icons if the relative default values are changed from the user
- Advanced->Common->Governor, added calculators for main gear and for tail gear calculation (as in Wizard)
