  • Page 11: Usb/Ble Connection

    1.4 USB/BLE Connection The Cube Controls x Mercedes-AMG - GT Edition SIM Wheel introduces two new main features: A dual-mode that allows you to use the steering wheel via USB connection or through Bluetooth connection to the PC. The Q-CONN - our proprietary magnetic connector for a fast and easy connection.
  • Page 12 WHEN IN BLE MODE: The right LED should flash in blue. This means the wheel is in discovery mode or waiting to connect. Open the Bluetooth devices on your PC and click “add device”. Click on the “Bluetooth” option and wait for the device to show up in the device list. Select the device and wait for the pairing to end.
  • Page 13 SWITCHING BETWEEN BLE AND USB MODES: Press and hold button 1 and turn on the steering wheel via the dedicated button on the backside of the wheel. Turning off the steering wheel and repeating the procedure will allow the user to toggle between the two different connection modes.

  • Page 14: Tips For An Optimal Ble Connection

    1.5 Tips for an Optimal BLE Connection On the first connection you might experience some BLE Connection problems. That is most probably caused by specific settings on your system! First of all, we always suggest using an external dongle. Do not use your PC Bluetooth connection, as it is not enough to guarantee the proper data flow.

  • Page 15: Battery Charging

    1.6 Battery Charging As soon as the Q-CONN cable is connected, the device will automatically start the battery charging process if needed. Battery status led legend: Green means the battery is fully charged. Flashing yellow means the battery is at 5% capacity or less and needs charging. Red means the battery is being charged.

    2. NAVIGATING THE SOFTWARE...

  • Page 17: Introduction

    2.1 Introduction The CubeSet app is here and you can download it from our website. Now, thanks to our proprietary software you can configure your Steering Wheel in every little detail and most of all you can update your wheel firmware with new content that we release continuously.
  • Page 18 STARTING THE CUBESET APP Once the steering wheel is connected and recognized by the PC (see the USB/BLE Connection section of this guide), you can then start the CUBESET APP. If the wheel is successfully recognized by the CUBESET APP, this is what you will see at the top of the window: If the wheel is not connected to the PC or not successfully recognized, this is what you will see at the top of the window:...

  • Page 19: Inputs

    2.2 Inputs On the INPUTS page, you can check the correct functionality of every button and encoder present in your wheel, modify the Encoder Pulse Width.
  • Page 20 CHECKING THE BUTTONS Nothing is easier than that: every button press or encoder rotation on the Steering Wheel will consequently light up the corresponding button/encoder showing their correct input number. ENCODER PULSE WIDTH With this slider, you will be able to set a value between 40ms and 240ms for your Encoder Pulse Width! The higher the value, the longer the pulse, ensuring the inputs are recognized by every system/simulator.

  • Page 21: Rgb

    2.3 RGB On the RGB page, you can customize every RGB LED present on the wheel in colour and brightness.
  • Page 22 RGB CUSTOMIZATION...
  • Page 23 Also note that further LEDs customization is possible through the Simhub software, as the Cube Controls x Mercedes-AMG - GT Edition SIM Wheel is natively compatible! Keep also in mind that every LED configuration made on Simhub will supersede the ones on the Cubeset App!

  • Page 24: Paddles

    2.4 Paddles On the PADDLES page, you have the CLUTCHES section and the SHIFTERS section. In the CLUTCHES section, you can enable/disable the clutches and the Bite Point. For the Bite Point, you will also be able to select the Slave Clutch to be the Left or the Right one and then limit the percentage for it- and also bind it to an encoder of the wheel to modify the bite point on the fly! In the SHIFTERS section, you will be able to Calibrate automatically the shifters to ensure full compatibility!
  • Page 25 SHIFTERS SECTION After the first use, you may notice some missing or double shifts. This is caused by different systems incompatibilities that may diminish or increase the input duration, making the shifting incorrectly recognized. Because of this, you will need to directly intervene and calibrate the value for the two shifters separately to reach the perfect shifting.

  • Page 26: Device

    2.5 Device On the DEVICE page, you can update your steering wheel’s Firmware, Factory Reset your wheel and also check your Battery Status (only when on BLE connection).
  • Page 27 UPDATING THE FIRMWARE When updating the firmware you have two choices: you can check online for updates (CHECK UPDATE) or, if you already have downloaded the new firmware update on your PC, you can select it and upload it manually (MANUAL UPDATE). CLEAR FLASH DATA If you need for whatever reason to do a Factory Reset of your steering wheel, you can now use this button and clear everything in its memory with just a click!
