Happy flying!
This is the art that not many people would know on how to simplify a topic so nicely and in simple ways. Excellent video.
Hands down the best explanation of a bootloader on YT. Thanks so much.
wow! I never thought that from my simple idea to setup and learn to fly a copter to eventually do some aerial photos would lead me to learn a lot of new things and dig a little deeper into electronics and IT stuff!
Thank you, I enjoy your valuable videos every time :)
Perfect explanation. Thanks!
I've flown quads for a few years now and work with mobile technology. Came looking for videos to share and explain concepts to coworkers - this brings things full circle since I often fly in the office 😅 Love the explanation!
Thanks for another great video.
Thank you, it was very helpful!
Thanks for a very nice explanation!
That was very very helpful. Thank You :)
geeze you work fast.. great work my friend
Great explanation brother.
Really well done. Thank you
Awsomeeeeeee
amazing, thank you!😊
Amazing video!! Thank you very much!!
best rc channel on the web 10+
brillant!
that was very very helpful!
thanks!
Thank you for the feedback and supporting the 'spirit of the channel'. Happy flying!
Nice throwback to the time I got into computers! Great explanation sir! Though I'm sure it won't be for everybody :)
I hadn't actually noticed that boot-force option on boards.. Great info!
Cheers and thanks for sharing
Yep, there will be some who dont need this information. But when a subscriber asks and there is not a simple explanation I can point them to - only one option! Happy flying!
for sure sir! This video will be helpfull / educational for lots of people actually :)
That was helpful.
Hello Painless...congratulaions for your videos! I have a problem with my Naze 32 rev 6 10 dof...the bootloader pins are erased and so I cannot used it...exist another system to flash FC without using bootloader pins? I tried with Hercules software also, but don't work...many thanks
thank you very much :)
Needed :)
Awesome, I would really appreciate it if you do a video on Taranis transmission rang.
Not planning to. Be aware that flying beyong visual range is illegal in many countries and the Taranis can easily do that. Happy flying!
Painless360+ Very clear. Now I understand what bootloader is. It sounds like Bios and Bootloader is almost the same!? By the way, lovely english.
thank you for all the information. I'm about to start building my first quad, and I bought a CC3D board with openpilot only to figure out they split the company. I want to use cleanflight/betaflight or raceflight on the CC3D so do I need to use an ftdi adapter to flash the correct fw? thanks if you get this
+Johnnie Vangilder see our video where we flash a CC3D with Cleanflight... best of luck!
Good explanation.
My apm2.8 fc can't load firmware. Mission planner firmware loading can't access the bootloader. How to make it read the bootloader again?
Thanks
Alex
Tricky to answer without knowing what troubleshooting you have already tried. There are some great articles on this in the Ardupilot documentation. Best of luck..
Hello sir,
I have a transducer measuring the temperature, once I turn it on Bootloader appears on the screen and go no where.
Please tell me what does it mean? Is it means the firmware damage?
No idea, usually a bootloader needs to be selected so you can flash the device. Best of luck
if i wanted to put betaflight on my naze32 rev6, i have to download the BorisB file and flash the local firmware. But do I need to jump the boot pins to actually install betaflight
Nope, it should flash just like Cleanflight.. Best of luck!
thanks Painless360
Could you please explain primary and secondary bootloaders?
That is not something that I have come across. Best of luck
hi, please help, I've connected the cc3d to the PC for the first time,
PC Recognized the connection immediately and worked fine,
when I pressed erase and update firmware, the board suddenly can't be recognized by the PC anymore, any tip? help? please, thank you so much
Please check out my CC3D series on the channel. I've not used one for many years.. Best of luck!
@@Painless360 I did watch that series, great vids by the way, but couldn't solve this issue, there is no stable firmware that suppurts, I have got the same issue on both CC3D and Atom, if I use the latest LibrePilot GCS it recognizes well, but can't save the setting, if using the openpilot, cant recognize the boards, thank you
Can the bootloader be reprogrammed or changed or is it ROM only
It can, the process is documented in the website.. Happy flying
@@Painless360 will check thank you 👍
hi. my computer is saying no contact with bootloader or similar. I have tried to short the bootpins but it doesn't help
+WeYoungInventors try and flash the board and plug in the USB cable with the pads shorted. It may take a few tries..
Please how do I solve a bootloop on my android tablet.
Is start to load then goes off when powering it on and comes back to the same screen
Can this process do it?
No idea, this is a channel on radio control. Best of luck
How do i flash a brand new sp f3 evo
The process is the same as we show in the SP3 series (but you need to select the right board of course). The process is in the manual here - www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjA0Ozl3N_QAhXhA8AKHXObBl0QFggaMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fseriouslypro.com%2Ffiles%2FSPRacingF3EVO-Manual-latest.pdf&usg=AFQjCNHIunH8nS0erYYD0E_qB6koYnz3Vg&sig2=T6hhJXkRRz2tIvIkYkiV_A
how do I short ....boot... my maze32 rev 5
+George Posey Short the two pins labelled 'BOOT' on the board. You should only have to do this rarely...
When do you short it?
For how long? At what point?
My Naze32 rev 5 won't connect to cleanflight....
I hold something metallic across the pads/pins as I power the board and hold it there for a few seconds. Best of luck!
Painless360 can you hold something metallic accross any pins? Or are there certain ones pins to touch together?
That will work, make sure it's just the pins you are shorting.. Best of luck!
