No USB
« on: October 27, 2015, 03:01:38 pm »
Hi Guys

Just installed LibrePilot on my windows 10 and tried to connect my CC3D FC. The thing is there are no options for USB in the connections dropdown. Anything I've missed?

Hi,

Did the connexion worked before ?
Do you heard sound when you plug device ?

What appends if you do :
- hit Rescue button in Firmware tab
- connect board

Did you have something besides OP firmware on it?  If you did, you will need to do an SBL procedure to write the LP bootloader on it.

It was working before I installed LibrePilot on the Mac... After updating it, the green light has remained static will not connect even though I can hear usual sounds when I connect USB. Swapped to Windows and no connection. Rescue just times out. Looks like I will have to find my FTDI and rewrite the bootloader. :(

Green led static looks normal because connected to power.

How about the blue one (Status)?

Blue led should be blinking fast while boot

Try this
1) Control Panel -> Device Manager
2) Expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers"
3) Most likely you will have one or more"USB Composite Device"
4) Right click -> Properties each "USB Composite Device" listed and note its "Location", each has a unique location.
5) Plug in CC3D, do not launch GCS.
6) You now have one new "USB Composite Device", Identity which one is the new one by Right click -> Properties
7) Uninstall this new "USB Composite Device" ie your CC3D by Right click -> Uninstall
8) Unplug CC3D from USB Port
9) Plug in CC3D and let windows reinstall driver.
10) Launch GCS, all should be good now.

With slow fading blue led looks like you are in bootloader mode and no firmware loaded.

Already been down that route... Just gone back to the Mac and same thing - not being recognised!

Looking like the most obvious verdict... It's how to get out of it is the problem.

This FC was meant to be going into an acro quad I'm working on.
