MultiWii

Hi all,

So i Have been having some issues uploading the sketch to the Multiwii Pro EZ 3.0 from white spy.
I must start by saying that this problem occurred when i was trying to clear EEPROM and reload a new sketch. When I loaded the original sketch from White Spy I had no issues and everything worked fine. The only thing that changed from then until now is that. I tried to load the EEPROM clear sketch from the examples folder and it would not complete the upload, just sits there saying "uploading".

What i did to try and correct;
So far I have uninstalled all the Arduino software and re downloaded same "newest" version. and the associated driver from FTDI.
Rebooted PC

I can not load any Sketches at this point. i just get the upload process freezing

My Settings
Board- Arduino mega 2560
Port - Com Port 3

Any one have issues like this?
What was your fix?

I saw alot of other post about getting a error message from AVRDUDE this is not my issue so please don't post fixes to that issue.

Recheck in Ardiuno IDE that you have selected the correct board type and programmer.
Also check in the Device Manager that COM3 is the correct port.

Waltr.
What is IDE?
Did verify that I was using com 3 also I have selected usbasp is this correct since I'm using USB?

Not correct programmer if you are using a FTDI with your USB.

FIXED!!!!!

Ok so there were multiple issues. the main issue was that the USBASP programmer was wrong.

the other issue I had was that my PC was not recognizing the driver for the programmer. I restored my PC to an earlier date and reloaded the drivers.

Thanks guys for all the assistance.

Wanted to put an update, as I have found more issues.

I can not upload a sketch when I have the BT module plugged into FCB. When I unplug it everything works fine.

Another issue I found was that the FCB has a reset button that I need to press before uploading. If I do this then I have a successful upload. If I don't push reset then I may have a 50/50 chance of a successful upload.

Does any one have these issues with other multiwii boards? I only have used my current board from ready to fly quads aka whitespy.

Thanks

1- Yes, this is because the Connections used for BT share the USB USART connections. So if you want to use the USB NO other device can be connected to the USART.
2- That's just the the board works.
3- Every board design can be a little different. I use Flip1.5 and Flip Pro board without any issues.
