New user interface with swipe to trim
A new and innovative user interface for trimming the interceptors manually or applying manual adjustments to the auto functions.
You swipe anywhere on the touch screen, up/down to adjust trim and left/right to adjust list. Hold your finger on the bottom of the page to enter the new and improved menu system.
Support for Navico MFD:s
The Lightning system can be controlled from Simrad, Lowrance and B&G MFDs when connected with an ethernet cable.
Currently the following MFDs can be used:
- Simrad – NSX, NSS* (EVO3, EVO3S), NSO (EVO3, NSO3S)
- B&G – Zeus, Vulcan
- Lowrance – HDS Live, HDS Carbon, Elite FS
New function buttons
Pitch control has been given its own function button so that you can easily control whether the function is on or off.
AutoList and Roll Stablilization are now combined in the “List & Roll Control” button. In the new “List & Roll Control” menu, you can choose whether either of these two functions should not be used
Minor fixes
- Pink display theme.
- New button to calibrate both trim and list angles at one time.
- No default value of the LCU orientation. To avoid forgetting to select the correct orientation, we have removed the default setting.
- Fix for calibrations that didn’t succeed at the first attempt.
- The True Turn Compensation setting has been given a higher resolution with a decimal.
- * We’ve noticed issues with manual trim and list buttons on Simrad NSS, and we’re working on a solution. Contact hello@humphree.com if you are having issues.

Smart Pitch Control
A completely new patented pitch control that detects head sea and trim down the bow automatically by adding extra interceptor deployment, just like an experienced captain would.
Improved Auto List
Our new AutoList have a smart turn detection and have already counteracted the list when the driver has stopped turning the wheel. This makes driving the boat feel like driving a car even in strong wind conditions.
