tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:35 PM

#

gimme a sec

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:35 PM

#

no rush from me ill be here

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:35 PM

#

imma try setting up the configurator

#

What version are you trying to flash?

#

and what do you expect to use with it?

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:35 PM

#

trying to flash to the newest 3.0.0, and idk this is what i was told to do in the video

#

assumed it was best to just flash everything to the newest

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:36 PM

#

That depends

#

SPI receivers (integrated inside of flight controllers) don't have 3.0.0 support yet

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:36 PM

#

just got this controller today

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:36 PM

#

at least not in a release version

#

what receiver/drone do you expect to be using with it?

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:36 PM

#

im gonna be buying a mobula7 elrs

#

to start out

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:37 PM

#

99% sure that that one uses a SPI receiver

#

in which case you should flash 2.5.1 for the time being

#

3.0.0 support will be released in Betaflight 4.4

#

That's the unfortunate nature of SPI receivers

#

which never should've existed

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:39 PM

#

when summer rolls around i plan on actually building something, but yeah just a mobula 7 for now

#

so ill just flash to 2.5.1 for now

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:39 PM

#

so, for now, ELRS 2.5.1 for compatibility

#

later you might want to consider putting a full ELRS receiver on it

#

can you show me how you've got the ELRS configurator set up?

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:42 PM

#

yup

#

#

in here, when the radio is DISconnected

#

what do you see?

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:43 PM

#

com5 microsoft

#

as another option

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:43 PM

#

and when you connect the radio in the VCP mode?

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:44 PM

#

i have the controller connect rn

#

is that what you mean?

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:44 PM

#

tulip lily in here, when the radio is DISconnected

I was asking you to disconnect the radio here but no matter

#

what options do you see in that device selection?

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:44 PM

#

with it unplugged?

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:44 PM

#

I wanted you to compare

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:45 PM

#

okay let me unplug it and see

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:45 PM

#

what shows up without the radio and with the radio (in VCP mode)

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:45 PM

#

now it says no options

#

when its unplugged

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:45 PM

#

and when you plug in the radio in VCP, COM5 shows up?

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:46 PM

#

connect it back and vcp mode and now it says com5 microsoft again

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:47 PM

#

alr, select COM5 there

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:47 PM

#

okay now try flash 2.5.1?

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:47 PM

#

sec

#

actually, one thing

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:47 PM

#

kk lmk

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:47 PM

#

disconnect the radio one more time

#

and completely power cycle it

#

before flashing

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:47 PM

#

okay its off

#

turn it back on and plug in?

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:47 PM

#

yup

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:48 PM

#

okay vcp mode?

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:48 PM

#

yup

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:48 PM

#

battery is getting low PepeMonkaOmega

#

now what

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:49 PM

#

how low? 😄

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:49 PM

#

this battery is gonna die b4 i flash

#

gotta charge

#

should i let it fully die and then charge?

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:49 PM

#

doesn't it have USB charging thonk

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:49 PM

#

lucid whale should i let it fully die and then charge?

why would you do that 😂

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:49 PM

#

battery health maybe

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:49 PM

#

that would ruin the battery health

#

how old are you if I may ask?

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:50 PM

#

23, im just retarded

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:50 PM

#

I'm pretty sure your parents taught you that

#

but that applied to much older battery technology

#

NiMH and NiCD

#

not LiPO / Li-Ion

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:50 PM

#

good to know

#

how should i charge this thing? through my computer?

#

or on a wall?

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:51 PM

#

sec

#

@lucid whale it has two USB-C connectors

#

one under the top flap and one under the bottom flap

#

top = data
bottom = charging

#

I think

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:52 PM

#

lucid whale or on a wall?

either way should work with any charger that is up to USB spec

#

so don't plug it into some weird-ass no-name charger

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:53 PM

#

computer should be fine then. so after all this charge do i flash with com5?

#

at 2.5.1

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:53 PM

#

yeah

#

If it doesn't work, we'll change gears and try to do WiFi flashing

#

good thinking to keep track of battery level btw

#

I've recently had to recover a guys ESCs because he flashed them with a dying battery 😂

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:54 PM

#

yeah im just gonnab e asking a lot of basic dumb shit

#

im coming in from the ground up right now

#

completely new

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:54 PM

#

try to look stuff up, but if you can't find a good answer or just aren't sure, asking will get you a much better response than guessing wrong and trying to get it fixed 😉

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:55 PM

#

will this red light on the zorro turn green when its charged?

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:55 PM

#

no clue, not a zorro owner unfortunately 😄

#

manual?

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:55 PM

#

the manual says fuck all

#

literally

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:55 PM

#

lmao

#

why am I not surprised

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 5:56 PM

#

the manual it comes with atleast

#

its a shortened version of the actual manual on the website

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 5:56 PM

#

lucid whale its a shortened version of the actual manual on the website

which says fuck all about it as well

#

Red LED = charging
no LED = charging complete
blinking red LED = problem?

I remember something about this.. I think it's if the batteries are so low (or out of balance) that the internal charger won't accept it

#

you can try and check the batteries voltage with a multimeter

tulip lily Sep 28, 2022, 6:43 PM

#

JJinx only mentioned red light, I responded with the whole array of possibilities @keen stone
so hopefully theirs is fine 😄

keen stone Sep 28, 2022, 6:43 PM

#

oh okay, i think red light is good yea lul

lucid whale Sep 28, 2022, 6:50 PM

#

its just a solid red light, so i assume its charging

lucid whale Sep 29, 2022, 9:28 PM

#

@tulip lily i just flashed 2.5.1 and it failed again PepeMonkaOmega

lucid whale Sep 29, 2022, 10:06 PM

tulip lily Sep 30, 2022, 6:55 AM
