Trouble Shooting With Birger and Impero

[Nathan Garofalos]

I've been looking all over the forum and cant get really any direct answers, so heres a thread for troubleshooting with the Birger mount and Impero.

I've installed the new Birger mount but I cant get Impero to pair with the mount and work, I've successfully updated to the new canon lens library, but am lost in the binary code.

I've downloaded ZTerm to try and get it running but I cant write text in the terminal app...

I have lens data on build 20 and had it on 17...

What am I doing wrong?!??!?!?!?!?! ARGHHHhhhh help please!!!!

Some more info here on whats going on. Updated impero by going to the help menu then clicking on check for updates, impero updated but still no luck... Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Okay, So i have updated the firmware on Impero to version 1.5, still no luck. Tried all the firmware options with the various BEI DEVICE INTERFACES on a mac... Can't get the Birger and Impero to pair together, anyone else with success?!

Did you first plug the birger mount into the camera body, then hold down the 'i' button on the impero while turning it on?

also, check this thread:

Turn off BEI before turning on the Impero

I can’t find the post about the /i metadata showing the distance as a 100m or 989’ instead of the actual distance set on the lenses. I am on RED firmware v.17
Anybody knows how to fix this problem?

OK found it.
Extended focus calibration needed.
Long press on the middle button.
