Onewheel XR Haptic Buzz: DEATH 💀 of nRF and DigiTilt?

Do we lose Digitilt and nRF when we sacrifice this CLASSIC 4209 Onewheel XR to update it with the new Haptic Buzz firmware? We're testing if it kills NRF and DigiTilt, and we're crossing our fingers that it doesn't! Stay tuned to see if this update is a game changer - don't forget to subscribe!

Love you guys. Jeff, you should do a video on how to vesc your xr. I think it would benefit the xr community a lot. Thanks float on

Imagine if FM actually TOLD us what the update will do to our boards, that would be wild… But they’d never be open and honest with us.

Thank you so much for this! I'm still just using OWCE to check battery status and change ride modes until I VESC tho

I threw caution to the wind and said F it and hit update for my
4012 and hopped in the shower, updated without bricking and went for a rip on delirium, pushed it harder than i usually do and couldn’t make it sing(I’m a lazy road cruiser) so I switched to sequoia to see if it actually makes noise and sure enough it will make a fun bzzz-bzzz when pushed past the limits. For my style of riding I can maybe have some extra confidence that I’m not riding beyond the board, I’m 240lbs and pushback is hard to decipher.

Someone needs to test large battery mods and also whether Rewheel still works.

[AlbertoNoys]

Is it possible then to reflash the old firmware if you update and don't like the buzz? Thank you for the sacrifice, btw

I updated my xr firmware.xr with a jwchip and jwxr battery. I was nervous but figured I would convert it to a vesc as well if things didn’t work out. Updated no problem .

Way to take one for the team!

Here's something interesting...Pre-4210 boards only request the firmware update (encryptedfw4165.bin) while 4210+ boards request the firmware update as well as a new bootloader (encryptedfwV6.bin). So far, this doesn't seem to cause any known differences in the way 4165 operates for different version XRs, but it's worth noting. Seems to be a way for the older and newer XRs to all run the same firmware...which makes me wonder if we could potentially make use of that bootloader to allow us to install older firmware on 4210+ boards... (this would only be possible if the bootloader doesn't block access to ReWheel). Food for thought. 💡

[milolim]

can you do a how to vesc series please🙏

[Ramonovich_Jan]

Hopefully we'll see you soon testing the most expensive onewheel of the last video

[mopododo]

Thank god. I updated without thinking.

[Quinn]

What did you use to set the tilt? The process i learned is way more complicated than that.

[patrickle]

Are you guys going to sell fully built vesc boards? I'd jump on that!

[DeRockMedia]

Thanks for your input, Im also rocking my new wheel i got from you guys and I love my Float black and green/yellow jacket, i wear it at my morning job everyday that i ride to. Im the guy who has the Back to the Future style XR board if i had popped by with it. Ill be back shopping again for sure!

[GazzasStuff]

Thanks, personally I'm happy to get HB, but was worried about battery upgrades.

[ryanmcclelland]

I wanna see a video where you update a CBXR, and then ride it. Let's say a 4211 or 4212. IF you can please do.

[kevinharpertime]

Hey Jeff, Did you lose the ability to see the Cells in OWCE? Thanks for the updates 🤙

[TheAnimeist]

Dang, how many Onewheels do you have connected to your OneWheel app? I assume the wheels are shared, so how does that effect the odometer reading in the app? Just curious. Thank you.

[deanaoxo]

No way would I get this. Nope, no thanks, nada. Thanks Jeff! Srsly, was truly worried.

Jeff the previous XR 4162 firmware doesn't allow larger battery mods such as CBXR or VnR to use more than 7ah, so just a little more than stock battery range.

I seriously doubt FM would take away their latest error 23 limiting battery to 7ah, so if this 4165 XR firmware acts like the 4162 firmware it is not safe to update if you are using a battery mod or a chip. Even the older 4209 hardware gets updated to the same 4165 firmware as the latest XR hardware, so the old hardware version isn't going to help with battery mods.
