Releases: VirtualBrainLab/Pinpoint
v2.0.1b0
Re-introduced uMp-3 support
Sensapex uMp-4 and uMp-3 manipulators are now accessed through the same manipulator type of "Sensapex uMp". We currently only support using one of the two platforms at a time, meaning all manipulators in the rig must be uMp-4 only or uMp-3 only.
