Hi!
Im having some serious trouble with a SP racing F3. Right out of the box, i plugged it in and while cleanflight recognised the comm port i could not connect. Tried flashing firmware to it, both with cleanflight and betaflight. No joy there. Tried running through the recovery/lost comms instructions. Always says 'could not connect to bootloader, programming failed' Still no joy.
Did a bit of googling and tried installing drivers. I have tried with the silabs drivers, the winusb drivers through zadig, still no joy. I then tried flashing the FC using flash loader demonstrator. Which is a fix i have seen work for many. But it crashes the app whenever i set my comm port, baud rate and then click next.
I am starting to think this FC is busted. But i dont want to bail on it till I know for sure.
Added note, when i connect to usb i get the power light and a bunch of flashes from the red led, which then goes out for a minute then starts flashing half second on half second off. If i put it in bootloader, i just get the power light, no red led at all, which i assume means it at least goes into bootloader?
Any help with this would be much appreciated!!
Thanks
Joe
