did you follow the ELRS docs?

#

read through this

#

it's really easy

empty kayak
#

I followed bardwells video thanks i will do that

#

Yeah it doesnt seem that complicated but i couldnt get it to build

void wave
#

that means it built

#

it built the file

#

that you flash to the tx

empty kayak
#

yeah it doesnt open to any file explorer at all

#

There's two Flashing/Updating method.
Try the other if the first one's not working for you

empty kayak
#

it doesnt open anything after building

#

Here let me look at my options

tribal ore
#

firmware file can be also found over at
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\ExpressLRS Configurator\firmwares\github\ExpressLRS\src\.pio\build

#

(if on windows)

empty kayak
#

ok you think it might be saving by itself?

#

ill check

tribal ore
#

it will be in a folder named after the device and flashing method you selected

#

e.g. Vantac_Lite_2400_TX_via_UART

#

inside, you'd find a lot more files.. what you need is the firmware.bin file

empty kayak
#

.pio im not finding that

tribal ore
#

can you post the full log please

#

!log

rough kayakBOT
#

See the following image to save a log file from the configurator

empty kayak
#

yeah thank you for the help

#

ive tried clearing the cache or w.e so it had to redownload all the files again and it had a bigger log

tribal ore
empty kayak
#

no this one is the most recent

#

that was the log

tribal ore
#

your windows username, does it contain any symbols?

empty kayak
#

no

#

it has a single space in it though

#

Oh noes

tribal ore
#

did you install the ExpressLRS Configurator for "Current User" or "All Users"?

empty kayak
#

current i believe....

#

i messed it up didnt i

tribal ore
#

white space on the username usually is a non-issue..

BUT i'll have you create a new user account.. (no symbols, no white-space)
but before you do so, uninstall the ExpressLRS Configurator from this user account..

#

getting error launching installer when I try from Add n Remove Programs Ill see if I can find the uninstaller tho

tribal ore
#

are you on windows 7?

empty kayak
#

no 10 i think

#

i dont know where the uninstaller would be because its not in program files

tribal ore
#

"I think"?

#

windows key -> System -> Apps

empty kayak
#

10 home

#

NSIS error - Error Launching Installer

#

thats what im getting when i hit uninstall

tribal ore
#

is the configurator still running?

empty kayak
#

nope

#

I wonder why im running into these problems

tribal ore
#

sign out (pres CTRL + ALT + DEL keys)
then sign in again

empty kayak
#

brb

#

back sorry computer is slow. Do you want me to try to remove program again or what

tribal ore
#

as it could create a conflict later

empty kayak
#

good ok it is uninstalling atm

tribal ore
#

let me also introduce another alternative:
Speedybee App
(it has a ExpressLRS Configurator section in the app now)

empty kayak
#

ok so you think I should just do that?

tribal ore
#

it's your call

empty kayak
#

I have no speedybee products

tribal ore
#

just giving you options

tribal ore
empty kayak
#

alright so on this configurator tho. You think i should just try to install again and just choose the option for all users? This is the only user on this PC though.

#

or you was saying create a new user account

tribal ore
#

to be sure, create a new user account, install the ExpressLRS Configurator there for "Current User"

empty kayak
#

ok and if that doesnt work then ill just try the speedybee app i guess
