  • Fixes issue where a SPARK MAX connected via USB would not disappear after being unplugged after a firmware update

MAXSwerve Drive Utility Improvements

  • Sorts MAXSwerve drive configurations by when they were last accessed
  • Adds button for each selected SPARK MAX that makes the device blink momentarily
  • Makes SPARK MAXes blink momentarily when they are assigned a role in a MAXSwerve drive
  • Makes the turning SPARK MAX blink momentarily when a MAXSwerve module's calibration tool is opened
  • Fixes issue where the list of CAN IDs selectable in the MAXSwerve Drive Utility wouldn't be updated after changing a SPARK MAX's CAN ID
Improves the experience of updating to future REV Hardware Client versions
  • It is now safe to navigate away from the About tab while the update is downloading

Version 1.5.1

  • Adds new MAXSwerve Drive Utility to the top-level Utilities tab
