New firmware for G940

Qpassa · #1 12-22-2010, 07:13 PM

Here's the update:

http://www.logitech.com/pub/techsupp...ate_FW0142.zip

* This release specifically targets and improves the accuracy of the X/Y on the joystick
* The firmware updater may hang. Don't panic. Simply close and reopen the updater. The G940's firmware wont be fully written until all blocks of data are transmitted and verified.

(I have yet to brick a G940 using this even when I tried to break it :smileywink: )

Thanks for the update - I installed it and got the hang myself, a bit scary but no problems - it worked the second time... It seems like the dead center has become even smaller in this one too, and the precision feels better (it's easy to imagine things like that though if being a glass half full person)

I really like when companies/groups give us Christmas presents like that - nudge nudge

Has anyone actually tested the new firmware? Does it completely solve the reversal bug?
Thanks!

Have tested it: It does remove the reversal bug on Stick x and y axes (aileron and elevator). It does *not* remove it on any other axis.

Yes: It's a known issue with the cable with the right throttle. Me (and others) have send the G940 back to Logitech and got a new one which showed the same problem later, too.

I (and others, too) have finally taken the problem in my own hands and opened it. Here's an example (albeit in German, from somebody else) on how to fix it.

Be aware: you loose any warranty by taking this path...

Then send it in to Logitech immediately - it only gets worse - and hope for the best...
