I was poking around last night trying to find the method to use my quad and a usb cable to play freerider sim. I followed someones advice on how to send the signal through the board and to a control driver on my PC .Now when i plug in the board all i get is a little tiny bit of tx (value is 24 or 48 ) and zero RX. I know that I changed the drop downs in the gcs "hardware" tab but now nothing happens when i open that tab. I just get the message "This panel will be updated to provide the relevant controls to let you configure your hardware once telemetry is connected and running."

 This is a direct quote from reddit with the advice and link that i followed.

 Sure! It's not really obvious but pretty simple to setup. In GCS change USB HID port to the transmitter like here: http://i.imgur.com/QwVTb0K.png
Make sure to put telemetry on the usb vcp otherwise you cant manage the board easily anymore (it changes to serial over usb for management this way). If I recall correctly that was all that's required. Obviously power your receiver etc.
-End.

 I would really appreciate any help you guys can offer I just got libre 2 days ago and I love it but I already lost a whole day of flying fiddling with this nonsense.
 So far I have recovered my PC to A week ago before any of this started and followed tons of advice for getting the cc3d to connect but nothing is helping.

I'm no expert, but have you tried rescuing it? https://librepilot.atlassian.net/wiki/display/LPDOC/Firmware+Rescue

Note that it says "When the Upgrade or Upgrade & Erase buttons don't work" - so I suggest trying that first.
With cc3d not connected, press Upgrade & Erase, then connect via usb and see the magic happen.

Looks similar to a driver issue:

Yes actually i did get it going again. I tried following the instructions that are given on that link for uninstalling driver and letting windows reinstall but still no joy.

The Fix:
 So i uninstalled the VCP driver package and reinstalled. Then i followed the instructions for upgrade and erase and it came back to life. I hope this helps someone else, happy flying.
