A couple of questions re IPD adjsutments and website

[dwbarnett]

Hello, I’m a little confused. I read a thread by a Pimax rep that said the latest beta release shouldn’t have been released. Do I want to wait for the official upcoming release from pimax, or d/l the .086 and firmware updates now.

Will the upcoming release have a newer version of the PE as well. Will it finally include more assistance with IPD adjustments.

Also, I used to be able to select the darker theme on this site, it seems to have disappeared of the little hamburger menu. Is it located somewhere else now?

Thanks for any assistance.
Best,
David

It was released in a weekly update, so should be “official”…

After installing PiTool 1.0.2.086 You’ll need to install PE 0.70.0.0 manually (it’s not part of the PiTool installer). And You should ignore any “update” notice for now as it’ll actually downgrade to an earlier version.

Pimax VR Experience 0.70.0.0

Hey everyone! Pimax VR Experience v0.70.0.0 Beta is now available for download! It’s been a while since the last update of Pimax VR Experience v0.60. To be able to add all planned and upcoming features, a lot of things had to be changed in the code. Therefore, Armin @arminelec and I decided to dig deeper into the code and make major core changes to the entire project. This required a massive amount of work, and we have come a long way now! Meanwhile, we are bringing you a new updated version f…

The firmware for the 8KX is a beta firmware too.

It seems the next version of PiTool is right around the corner so You could also just wait for that (maybe it includes the firmware too) as that would most likely mean You “only” needed to install PiTool (and the firmware that “follows”) and PE afterwards.

@PimaxUSA

Most likely there will be updates to all the packages this week so also keep an eye out for that.

If you’re happy to wait until next week, the latest firmware, PiTool, and PE will be ‘officialised’, integrated, and released then:

Pimax VR Experience 0.70.0.0

Latest Beta for sure! I agree, it really made a huge difference! I just heard from Alex the new FW will be official in 2 days! Its a version based on the latest, but also including some fixes and proper Per-eye IPD Vertical Offset adjustment stepping 0.1 instead of previous 0.5. So I recommend you to use this version now. Later this week (it seems) we will release a official PiTool version including these changes and bundled with latest PE.

Hmmm I still have the dark theme enabled. Try from this location:

1. Click on your avatar on the top right to bring up a menu
2. From the menu, click on your username in the top left to bring up a new menu
3. Click Preferences at the bottom to load that page
4. Click on Interface on the bottom left of the page options
5. See if the theme is still available, it’s the first option on the Interface page:

Hope that helps. Good luck!
