# Firmware Version 4.01

# RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 4.01 The release of MōVI firmware version 4.01 and associated Freefly Configurator apps for Windows, Mac OS and Android contains updates that improve performance and additional new features.

DATA LOGGING This new capability enables logging GPS and camera movement data from the MōVI via a Micro SD card slot on the MōVI GCU. This data can be extremely valuable for visual effects artists to understand, follow and work with the footage in the most productive way.

The frequency of the data stream can be set via the Logging Rate. When Data Logging is set to ON, the LEDs on the MōVI will flash at a frequency corresponding to the Logging Rate setting. Note: Some data may be unavailable without GPS signal or when Heading Assist is set to OFF. To avoid potential corruption of data, Data Logging should be set to OFF before de-powering the MōVI. Data Logging exports a wide range of parameters and is currently available for use in a raw format. 

### LOGGING RATE Available options are 5Hz, 10Hz, and 25Hz logging rates. To be used when Data Logging is set to ON.



### INTERNAL “INFO” SYSTEM
The Info button was added so that users have the ability to quickly and easily access information without searching. Clicking on the “i” will bring up information containing a Quickstart Guide, Config menu item explainations and System menu descriptions. As an added feature, highlighting an item in the Config menu system and then opening Info will point you directly to that description.



### AUX PORT FUNCTION
Selects the function of the Aux Port on the MōVI GCU. Available selections are UART and Shutter where UART is default. Select UART when using the Freefly MōVI Controller to enable communication between the MōVI and the receiver. Select Shutter to enable shutter release or start/stop functionality via other 3rd party controllers. Output signal of the Aux Port when set to shutter: Pin 1 Aux port = GND, Pin 3 Aux port = Shutter input. Map Remote Shutter and Shutter Type settings must also be set.



### SETDOWN SLEEP When set to ON, Setdown Sleep will enable the MōVI to be set down while powered without the use of a stand. This can be useful in situations where the stand is not readily available in a fast-moving shooting environment. After sensing the motors are stalled for more than 4 seconds, the MōVI will enter Setdown Sleep mode. While in this mode, the three LEDs on the MōVI will be flashing indicating the sleep state. To exit, simply pick up the MōVI. Although the motors are drawing very little power while in this mode, it is still recommended to use the stand or power down with extended periods of inactivity to conserve battery.

### HEADING ASSIST Selections available are OFF, Fixed Mount, GPS, and Compass. OFF is default and is no change from how the MōVI performed previous to this update. Fixed Mount is available for use on in stationary type setup such as on a tripod. Using this setting, the MōVI references only motor position during pan moves, thus eliminating drift. When set to GPS this will allow for increased performance during higher accelerations common when used with a multi-rotor platform. Set to Compass for increased handheld performance. A Declination value should be set when in Compass. 

### S.BUS 2 SUPPORT Added support for Futaba S.Bus 2 systems. The S.Bus setting in Radio Type now works with both.



### REMOTE RATE SCALE Default value is 100 deg/sec. Adjustable from 1-200 deg/sec. This value will allow you to increase or decrease the maximum rate available for Pan and Tilt when the remote is in use.



### TILT CONTROL MODE Tilt can be set to either Rate or Angle mode. Rate is default. Angle mode is recommended for single operator multi-rotor operations where control over Tilt is desired on a dial-type knob.
