Upload Firmware fail

Posted by Richard C. on April 26, 2012 at 4:31pm

UAV novice here, just got around to firing up my new 900MHz 3DRs. Coming from an IT background, I thought I'd check the "Upload Firmware" button while on the CTRL+A radio config page. Epic fail. See screenshot. As it stands, the red LED on ground radio is continuously lit and appears to be dead to the world (probably something to do with the 'erase program flash' step ;-) Any ideas on how to fix? =( 

Thanks in advance!

    Hi Richard,

    The red LED being on solid just means it is in bootloader mode. That LED being lit just means it is ready to receive a new firmware from your PC.

    Try uploading the firmware again. The current planner versions should detect that the radio is in bootloader mode and load a new firmware. Make sure you use the latest mission planner.

    Cheers, Tridge
