Hello all,
I am pretty new to this sport but I am pretty technical savvy so I have figured things out rather quickly. One issue I have recently ran into when I am trying to load the firm ware version of Librepilot. (version Firmware tag: Next firmware date: 2013-05-28, git hash: f1684453). I can get it to load on the board but then after the firmware is loaded I get a 1sec fading blue blinking led and a solid orange. Now the board can only be rescued and firmware can be reloaded. I used a previous version of the firmware from openpilot and that loaded with success and I was able to manipulate most things from the UI but since there is a mismatch of versions I do run into errors when the application tries to write to the board so not a 100% success with the previous version of openpilot firmware. The firmware version was a preset from the vehicle setup wizard. (MiniBlack out was the firmware name.) I have searched the internet but most the information is dead with the openpilot project and I was wondering if anyone has any advice. I think I can go the FTDI route but I can find clear directions on this or what firmware I should load with this approach. thanks all and happy flying
