Do I need to update Nolo's firmware in order to run latest Pitool and have it detect Base Station?
I am currently running PiTool 1.0.1.264 with original Nolo firmware and although things are working, I would like to use latest PiTool software and updated Nolo firmware.
Am I ok to upgrade Nolo firmware?

I managed to update Nolo Firmware using latest Nolo Home but if I download latest PiTool update (1.0.1.266) from the PiTool settings menu, I lose all usability as far as Nolo is concerned, despite it showing movement in Nolo visualizer.
Reverting to PiTool 1.0.1.264 rmemdied the problem. I did read somewhere that another Nolo user had to delete all trace of Nolo AFTER firmware update in order for Nolo and latest version of PiTool to work but as yet, I haven't had the guts to try it.
Obviously PiTool 1.0.2.84 MUST be the latest version but I'm still very confused.
Let me know how you get on.
All the best

I suggest you download latest Nolo Home, Update Firmware via Nolo Home Maintenance Menu.
Delete current PiToll and ALL traces of PiTool AND
Install PiTool 1.0.1.264 OR 1.0.2.84.
Removing all traces of PiTool is problematic therefore you need to show all Files/Folder and enter %AppData% one by one until all traces are gone. Thats what worked for me.
Good Luck!

Make sure Nolo Home is turned off. Set PiTool to load on start up and restart your computer. Never have Nolo Home running alongside PiTool or it will conflict.
You might want to uninstall Nolo Home once all Nolo firmware is updated and consider downloading latest PiTool from settings menu.
I was advised by Nolo yesterday that if I want to run latest PiTool 1.0.1.266 then I SHOULD uninstall Nolo completely.
Good luck!

As you had installed Nolo, SteamVR and Pimax PiTool together it may have messed up your openvr.vrpath file...see below

It might help explain why you are having trouble...
The same thing happened to me - here's what Steam support told me, and it worked.
The key thing is to either run vrpathreg or delete openvr.vrpath in the openvr folder.
Hello Michael,
Thank you for contacting Steam Support.
You may need to fix the installation paths for SteamVR.
Navigate to: ...Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR\bin\win64
Run vrpathreg and fix the paths to the correct drive letter/directory, or delete the openvr.vrpath file in <user>/AppData/Local/openvr. This folder may be hidden, so ensure you have these set to visible:
-Open Folder Options by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Folder Options. -Click the View tab. -Under Advanced settings, click Show hidden files and folders, and then click OK.)
For Windows 10, do the following to show hidden files/folders:
Select the “Start” button, then choose “File Explorer“. Select the “View” tab.
Check the “Hidden items” check box to view hidden items.
Thank you so much, Michael! The two things separately didn't fix it, but after much messing around, I had to delete the openvr.vrpath first, then run vrpathreg. Thank you, and thanks again! I missed my Vive way too much!"
