What's new
We're excited to introduce a major firmware update that brings enhanced functionality and compatibility to your Smartglove experience. It is required to update to this firmware version to be compatibility with Coil Pro and/or Rokoko Studio 2.4.3.
Here's a look at what's new:
-
Compatibility with Coil Pro
Your Smartgloves is now fully compatible with the Coil Pro! This means improved detection capabilities and the ability to estimate poses relative to the Coil Pro device.
-
Improved Data Processing
We've made significant changes to enhance the performance of your Smartglove. The firmware now offloads certain calculations, resulting in lower noise levels on the EMF data.
-
Frame Rate Optimization
To create a more natural feel for the EMF system, we've adjusted the frame rates.
-
Sensor Fusion Enhancements
We've added a preprocessing step, enabling the sensor fusion to run seamlessly. This step ensures that every single IMU data point is taken into account, even in the event of WiFi packet loss.
-
Technical Upgrades
- The firmware build process has been updated to ensure a reproducible development and build environment.
- Upgraded the toolchain for improved performance. Thereafter, updated code files to support the newer toolchain.
- All dependencies are now managed as submodules for better project organization.
Known Issues
We want to keep you informed about any potential challenges you may encounter. Here are the known issues with this release:
- On some channels, the throughput of 2.4 GHz WiFi may exhibit inconsistency.
- Legacy is not supported
