ELRS Configurator trying to flash to old reciever | Steele Official Server | Page 1

I swapped my reciever from a HappyModel to a SuperD (the old one was broken) but I cant flash the new firmware because the ELRS Configurator still thinks im using the happymodel

Error:

A lot of it seems unimportant, but the line
Wrong target selected your RX is 'HAPPYMODEL_EP_DUAL_2400_RX', trying to flash 'BETAFPV_SUPERD_2400_RX'
Is confusing me

Im assuming that the FC thinks its still using the Happymodel, but I dont know how to update that information without flashing it lol

#

no that's normal

#

the target for the superD is an alias of the EP DUAL target

#

since the hardware on both these receivers is almost identical

#

could you show your wiring ?

wild apex Apr 23, 2023, 8:41 PM

#

oh boy

#

yeah

#

youre not going to like it lol

wispy cedar Apr 23, 2023, 8:41 PM

#

then fix it

#

and then send a picture

wild apex Apr 23, 2023, 8:43 PM

#

It isn’t too bad

#

The wiring above it goes to video

wispy cedar Apr 23, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

why is the exposed wire so looooong

#

you want the insulation to go right up to the pad

wild apex Apr 23, 2023, 8:46 PM

#

Yeahhh I know

#

I didn’t think about it when I did that

wispy cedar Apr 23, 2023, 8:46 PM

#

and side note wtf is that cap

wild apex Apr 23, 2023, 8:46 PM

#

Wdym

wispy cedar Apr 23, 2023, 8:46 PM

#

why is it on top of the fc

#

why are the legs exposed

#

you have vbat going there

wild apex Apr 23, 2023, 8:47 PM

#

Cause otherwise it hits the video unit

wispy cedar Apr 23, 2023, 8:47 PM

#

a light crash you could short out on at least 10 different possible places

wild apex Apr 23, 2023, 8:47 PM

#

Or the top of the frame

#

What can I do about it?

#

Like look at the space from the ESC to the vtx

#

It won’t fit there

wispy cedar Apr 23, 2023, 8:49 PM

#

sure looks like it fits lengthwise

#

use some leftover motor wire to wire it

wild apex Apr 23, 2023, 8:49 PM

#

Wdym

#

Where

#

Like above the vtx?

#

wispy cedar Apr 23, 2023, 8:51 PM

#

but yeah even ziptied to a standoff or above the airunit would be better

#

use motor wire or similar gauge to make it more flexible to mount

wild apex Apr 23, 2023, 8:51 PM

#

Ziptied to a standoff??

#

I mean

#

Alright

#

I can try to put it above the air unit later

#

But what about the actual problem I’m having

wispy cedar Apr 23, 2023, 8:52 PM

#

this is just unsafe, plus will vibrate on the fc and make your gyro data noisy af

#

but yes anyways

#

No CLI available. Already in passthrough mode?, If this fails reboot FC and try again!

#

did you try unplugging the quad, closing betaflight and any other software like 3d printing software, and trying again ?

#

wispy cedar

man those wires are stripped so long

#

one crash and your drone is done 💀

wild apex Apr 23, 2023, 8:54 PM

#

okay okay

#

ill resolder stuff later

wild apex Apr 23, 2023, 8:54 PM

#

wispy cedar did you try unplugging the quad, closing betaflight and any other software like ...

a few times

#

dont have any other software up exept discord and chrome

wispy cedar Apr 23, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

what does it show up as in the ports selection when you go to flash

wild apex Apr 23, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

I think like ST microelectronics

#

not sure

rigid goblet Apr 23, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

wild apex

for the capacitor you can always solder it to the contacts of the xt60

wild apex Apr 23, 2023, 8:56 PM

#

okaay ill fix that after

#

I want it to actually work before I start taking it apart again

wild apex Apr 23, 2023, 8:57 PM

#

wispy cedar what does it show up as in the ports selection when you go to flash

COM5 STMicroelectronics.

#

wispy cedar did you try unplugging the quad, closing betaflight and any other software like ...

same thing

not exactly

#

what is the led on the receiver doing ?

wild apex Apr 23, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

Starts RGB, goes to blinking orange, then eventually breathing green

cerulean halo Apr 23, 2023, 9:59 PM

#

wild apex It isn’t too bad

This picture gives me all kinds of horrors. 😂

@wispy cedar what are they supposed to be doing?

wispy cedar Apr 23, 2023, 11:10 PM

#

No that should be ok, at the moment only thing I can think of is that there is a non zero chance some of the solder joints on the fc could be shorted
