3DR Radio bricked by failed firmware update

Posted by Aaron Curtis on April 4, 2013 at 10:15am

Hi all,

I have a pair of 433mhz 3DR radios. One of them "lost sync" during a firmware upgrade. Now it has the red led on solid whenever it is plugged in, and all attempts to communicate with it fail.

Is there any way to unbrick this radio?

Thanks,

Aaron

If the red led is on solid then it means it is already in bootloader mode, and is waiting for a new firmware. So the real question is why it doesn't come out of bootloader mode when you upload a firmware.

What happens when you try to upload a firmware to it?

hmm - have you tried the "force bootloader mode" steps listed here? https://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/3DRadio
