Installation

Upgrading

Back up your package config (either by Backup Configs on the Start page, or by saving the XML on Refloat Cfg), install the package and restore your config (Restore Configs or load the XML).

If you use Refloat for LED control, you'll need to re-configure a few options, these won't restore from your backup (make note of your current settings before upgrading):

  • Specs -> LED Mode: set Internal if your LED Type was RGB or RGBW
  • Specs -> Status / Front / Rear LED Color Order
    • Pick an option with a W if your LED Type was RGBW; Pick the RGB order that you had in your LED Color Order
    • Or, just keep trying them until the colors look correct (remember a restart is needed)
    • You need to set this for all of the three strips that you use

Fresh Installation

If doing a fresh board installation, you need to do the motor and IMU calibration and configuration. If you install the package before that, you need to disable the package before running the motor calibration and re-enable it afterwards.

For a detailed guide, read the Initial Board Setup guide on pev.dev.

To configure the package, you only need to set the Low and High Tiltback voltages on the Specs tab of Refloat Cfg. These need to be set according to your battery specs.

The options in the other tabs are set to good starting values that should provide you with a well behaving, rideable board.
