I've noticed a few crashes if I try to change parameters quickly. I'm using an iPad v. 6 to run the app. I also noticed that in the VIDEO Application of the APP, the top set of buttons don't seem to work. The buttons which don't seem to work are the Next/Previous keyframe buttons and the Green triangle (presumably to go). When I push the KEYFRAME number, the unit does proceed to that keyframe, directing the motors accordingly. HOWEVER - one time, the unit went haywire and turned one of the NIC units PAST the keyframe and tried to rotate the unit completely. I turned the power off and returned the heads to the staring position using the manual option of the knurled knobs. It might be worth noting that direction which went haywire was a motor which failed to respond at all to the APP until I rotated the knob manually several times in a row. My assumption is that the unit was 'too tight' being brand new, but I guess it could have more serious issues?

* Add and save custom sensor size profiles for Giga-Pixel and 360-Degree Mode.
* Move to a specific matrix index (row & column) in Giga-Pixel mode to verify the viewport.
* Sphere calculator in 360-Mode now with 'Apply' button for faster setup.

Here is the official link to the app: https://itunes.apple.com/app/pine-motion/id1438196012

All the best,

Firmware V1.2
V1.2 brings improvements to the 360-degree mode (please make sure to download the newest app releases to use these features).
* A newly developed movement algorithm will reduce the total time needed for one 360-degree sphere by at least 25%.
* Option to set 2 Nadir pictures. Those 2 images will be rotated by 45 degrees to each other and allow for easier masking-out of the tripod and pan/tilt head.

We added an optional firmware file for lower default currents in the download section of our website www.blackforestmotion.com/downloads. Use this firmware if you are using PINE with motors smaller than NEMA17 which require less current. Default current will be set to 0.2A after power-on of the controller. You can set higher currents at any time via the app.

If you currently don't use the 360-Degree mode, you might not need this new firmware V1.2 release. 

Android App
* Papywizard XML file generator now for 360-degree mode. Firmware V1.2 required.
* 360-degree mode now with sphere calculator for recommended amount of rows and columns.
* New keyframe editing option in time-lapse and video mode.
* Option to manually activate undetected motors.
* Option to "Don't show again" the pop-up windows that appear when entering the Giga-Pixel mode, 360-Degree mode, and 3D-Scan Mode. This is where you set your motors for pan and tilt for example. You can set the motors one time and then activate the "Don't show again" checkbox. You can access this pop-up window anytime by tapping the motor icon on the top right corner within each mode.

iOS App
* Added more Info-Tutorial texts in 360-degree, Time-Lapse, and Giga-Pixel Mode.
* 360-degree mode now with Papywizard XML file generator. Firmware V1.2 required.
* Sphere Calculator in 360-degree mode now distinguishes between rectilinear and fisheye lenses.
* Time-Lapse mode now with Test-Mode features. Test your time-lapse settings before starting the recording. Tests include: 1) Exposure Test, 2) Interval Test, 3) Movement Test
* Obtain your PINE Controller Info: Under the Connections screen, tap on the info icon next to the controller name. Info shown includes: 1) Serial Number of Controller, 2) Controller Supply Voltage, 3) Controller Firmware Version
* Option to manually activate undetected motors in the motor quick setup window.

Current Developments in Progress
* We are currently working on the firmware updater utility for macOS.
* The iOS App will soon be released to the official Apple Store.

We just want to welcome everyone to this forum and say thank you to all who have supported our Kickstarter campaign or purchased a PINE unit through our online shop.

Pretty much all of the past orders have been shipped now and we can't wait to see some activity in this forum.
