went on freakin LibrePiot with this CC3D
connected and upgraded, finished vehicle setup and was moving on to transmitter setup.
Started with stick calibration but nothing, no stick movement, so i disconnected and started over.  Now LibrePilot says it is connected but there is no communication with the board.
Any way to save this board, or is it garbage now?  tia

What do the leds on the controller show?

Here is a video how they should behave:

Someone beat me to answering while I was posting on rcg.

As long as the hardware isn't broken there are ways to recover from "bricked".

As cato asked, what are the LEDs on the controller showing?

What does it do when you plug it into the computer?  Does GCS (the ground software) recognize that it's plugged in (lower right corner of screen) and connect?

When you upgraded did you just do upgrade or upgrade and erase?

The wiki has an explanation of the LEDs as well at https://librepilot.atlassian.net/wiki/display/LPDOC/Firmware+Tab#FirmwareTab-Ledbehavior   There's a lot of other info in the wiki as well.

yes full chip erase
solid green with flashing blue

OK, so you see what is shown as "Heartbeat Disarmed" in the video?

That would mean that the CC3D is not bricked, but you may have a connection issue to your computer. Does the GCS recognize the CC3D, the "Firmware" tab should show you an image of your controller with information about the version. If that is not the case, it may simply be a windows driver issue or a bad or low quality usb cable.

...you may have a connection issue to your computer.

As mentioned flaky cables are very common. Also try different ports. If computer is a 'PC' then back panel ports are often more reliable than front panel ports.

says it is connected but there is no communication

I do not see a firmware version

[no config]

I am sure it is not a bad cable or port
more like flaky software

[no config]

cable is good and port is good
sure seems like a brick to me

I have tried different cables, different ports, tried older version OpenPilot and LibrePilot all the same results.  When i try to upgrade it times out and says it cvannot finish connecting.
How can this happen just by pressing disconnect??
This is more trouble than I bargained for. i do not see this as being an easy fix and I have pretty much had enough with this thing...................

[no config]

how do you say it is not a brick when it is unresponsive?

[hwh]

If the blue led is flashing about once a second then the cc3d is fine.  If it had a problem it would either be off, on solid, fading in and out, or flashing rapidly.

If it's flashing once a second and you get then the most likely thing is a windows driver issue.  You might try the troubleshooting tips on https://librepilot.atlassian.net/wiki/display/LPDOC/Troubleshooting

Nope still same issue.  Uninstalled and then reinstalled driver, fresh Libre program, same thing.
I am very pissed off that this could happen just by clicking disconnect.  i have wasted a day on this and nothing is better.  this sucks, Libre sucks!!

something is wrong with the CC3D.  Libre bricked it!

Hmm, you did not tell us how the link gadget looks like. If it looks like in hwh's screenshot, reinstalling the firmware will not help you in any way, but you should instead follow the procedure in the wiki article. If it looks different, it would be important to see how it looks.

We want to help you, but for that it would be very helpful if you replied to our suggestions.
