The quadrino comes with 1.9 in it so go download 1.9 and use the configurator in it ! You have to use the same gui as the firmware in the board !

Also when you want to flash 2.0 you need to click the tool tab in arduino and then click board and then choose the right board ! But be sure you know how to compile that firmware for your board before trying to flash firmware ! I think flyingeinstien.com tells you how to do this ! Also they have 2.0 already compiled for that board !

Here's a link to who makes that board and contact info is on there ! http://witespyquad.gostorego.com/customer-service That's bad it fell off ! You might can find a local electronic repair shop and have it resoldered ! Or there might be someone on here that can solder that but im not that good of a solderer to do that kind of work ! Ok can anyone on here fix this guy up ? (Edit) that link above is who sells it and the link also tells you how to flash firmware near bottom of page ! Here's the email to who makes it ,and it may be under warranty ! cfm@colinmackenzie.net

:x I have vista 64 and xp 32. Can't get anything to function on either. This thing (Quadrino Zoom 1E rev.Arduino and Multiwii config) is driving me insane. It hasn't worked since the day I got it a week ago. Multiwii config doesn't work either. I thought this was a ready to fly board. I was getting lights on board- green light, blue light constant, and poeriodic orange light if I moved board. I have disconnected all connections except usb. I have tried mwconfig 1.9, 2.0, etc. I get 2 or 3 windows opening up on top of each other and only the covered one does anything on clicking start. Then I was getting rx tx lights flashing fast but still no anything but one brown line in box showing activity then nothing more.
No read etc. Arduino 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 does nothing but error messages. no sketches. Now I don't even get blue light on board when plugged in. Only green and flashing orange. Any ideas? Anyone? I can't find anything about my specific issues on line.
Thanks.
