Title: CC3D Atom - Green light only.
Post by: QC102 on July 20, 2016, 04:03:39 am

This was became a "spare" FC I got in because I thought it would save space on  the deck of a 450 frame. Anyway.. reading through  the forum I came across a Taulabs reference and  like an idiot - I  just tried flashing the firmware  - to check out  their GCS - ( boredom till the UK premier league start up!)
I ended up with a dead Atom,  nothing works - no rescue - all the  options are greyed out  and  it will not connect - nothing except a green led.
The Upgrade and Upgrade and Erase buttons start of... but time out.

Can it rescued of better off in  the trash bin?

TIA

If the blue led do not flash your board do not have bootloader or firmware running.

Try a last rescue:
- Disconnect board
- Hit Rescue
- Connect board

If there is a timeout, here is two options for bootloader/firmware recovery:

using a StLink:

using a FTDI:

Thanks for that - will look at the options...  I  have an FTDI 132  will that be OK?

Hi, FWIW the only solution that seemed to work on my cc3d was this video, not sure if the atom works the same?

Thanks for  taking time to reply... but the Atom is dead!   Cannot activate Rescue or  in fact anything now!  Tried everything that is shown in  the many threads - the online manual.  But it cost around au$15 or so... so I ordered another and can start again.   
It been a bad week - also  fried a new unused  - just  setting up Revo FC - and  that's in the trash now also.

If the GCS can't flash it, the last resort is using the system boot loader.
