Is this normal or do I have to reinstall?

#

I don't know what you mean? the .bin is the firmware

river spindle Dec 21, 2023, 5:33 PM

#

bin is the type of file it generates

south sphinx Dec 21, 2023, 5:34 PM

#

yes

#

that's the file you upload

river spindle Dec 21, 2023, 5:34 PM

#

yes

#

most videos represent two files appearing upon build

south sphinx Dec 21, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

I think it only makes one now. both those files were identical, just one had a different name

#

I think they thought it was confusing

#

the problem with youtube videos is that they can't be updated to correct things like this

#

anyway you can upload that firmware.bin file

river spindle Dec 21, 2023, 5:36 PM

#

ok i will try that

#

south sphinx Dec 21, 2023, 5:42 PM

#

I've not seen that error before

#

what's the whole screenshot?

river spindle Dec 21, 2023, 5:43 PM

#

i can upload my configuration if that helps

south sphinx Dec 21, 2023, 5:44 PM

#

no, screenshot the whole window. I don't know the context here

river spindle Dec 21, 2023, 5:44 PM

#

ok

#

#

#

#

what configurator version is that?

I don't recognise this, but it's not a model configuration file, it's firmware. I think there is a different form somewhere that lets you upload the firmware

#

I'm going out now anyway. good luck. the elrs discord are also very helpful with this

#

stone gull what configurator version is that?

#

1.6.1

stone gull Dec 21, 2023, 5:59 PM

#

I believe 1.6.1 should compress the output firmware files - firmware.bin.gz instead of firmware.bin

#

did you unzip it?

river spindle Dec 21, 2023, 6:01 PM

#

im downloading 7zip

stone gull Dec 21, 2023, 6:01 PM

#

no

#

if it outputs a compressed file, don't uncompress it

river spindle Dec 21, 2023, 6:03 PM

#

it outputs a regular file

stone gull Dec 21, 2023, 6:04 PM

#

so just .bin, not .bin.gz?

river spindle Dec 21, 2023, 6:06 PM

#

#

#

just file

stone gull Dec 21, 2023, 6:07 PM

#

the configurator may compress the output firmware file. It should either be a .bin or a .bin.gz file in the folder that it opens

river spindle Dec 21, 2023, 6:07 PM

#

#

this was the original file

stone gull Dec 21, 2023, 6:07 PM

#

okay

river spindle Dec 21, 2023, 6:07 PM

#

the firmware.bin

stone gull Dec 21, 2023, 6:08 PM

#

where are you uploading it when connected to the webpage?

river spindle Dec 21, 2023, 6:08 PM

#

to the import /export of the wifi connection home page

#

#

select model configuration

stone gull Dec 21, 2023, 6:10 PM

#

yeah that's not correct

river spindle Dec 21, 2023, 6:10 PM

#

what is the correct method?

stone gull Dec 21, 2023, 6:11 PM

#

can you scroll up a little and take another screenshot?

river spindle Dec 21, 2023, 6:12 PM

#

yeah of course

#

#

stone gull Dec 21, 2023, 6:14 PM

#

river spindle Dec 21, 2023, 6:14 PM

#

stone gull Dec 21, 2023, 6:15 PM

#

#

river spindle Dec 21, 2023, 6:15 PM

#
