    Won’t gps lock after software update

    Yes I did update the st16 first and then the H following the video . I’dId not do OTA update in the H but placed sd card in the gimbal and then updated the H . will try later as it is 03h44 and my spousal unit will go tilt and get gimbal lock if she hears the start up tone on the H.

    Charging ST16 battery -ext.

    1. Yes I was talking about the H 2. Held switch in for many more than three seconds but never heard the tones. 3. No it never worked - The boot-loader in the flight module ( small PCB on top of the motor control board ) had become corrupted. You can not program it manually as at the factory...

    Typhoon H firmware bricked

    The only way to get into DFU mode is to tie the boot0 pin on the processor to vdd and boot1 pin to Gnd during power up. Fortunately we have electronic soldering microscopes and fine pitch soldering stations . The processor has a default bootloader that can communicate on USB in DFU mode OR...

    Typhoon H firmware bricked

    To try and close off this matter 1. I had no nefarious motives in spending a lot of time and money trying to " hack" the Typhoon H . Rather I was trying to get a product working on unpacking . I maintain that it is a well designed and conceived solution , at a competitive price point BUT...

    Typhoon H firmware bricked

    I got 2 * boards back from Yuneec Germany today - ( they were very prompt and kept me informed of progress ). The conclusion seems to be - If your bootloader is corrupt the only place the boards can be reprogrammed is at the factory. This is why Yuneec Germany had to replace the boards . The...

    Typhoon H firmware bricked

    I have sent the PCB's back to Yuneec for programming . My conclusions of the month long exercise are -: 1. Dont try and program latest firmware using the USB cable and the Typhoon GUI - This caused the ' bricking ' 2. The processor chip contains firmware that Yuneec don't release and further...

    Charging ST16 battery -ext.

    Just for info - wrote to yuneec to try and get the recovery file - no response. 2. All files downloaded from the website are UPDATE files which means the base layer that boots the device has to be loaded and that is what I am looking for i.e. The file/ bootloader that is put into a virgin chip...

    Typhoon H firmware bricked

    The USB cable connecting the PC to the H has 4 pins which end up on the H processor PA9/PA10 = uart1 for programming serial method and the other two wires are routed to PA11/PA12 which allows programming via USB and this requires the DFU utility. When you download the firmware TyphoonH_Ver...

    Typhoon H firmware bricked

    No have not received any flash software from SWM . It seems as if the STM chip comes with a bootloader from the ST factory . This will work with both USB or serial connection depending on which pins are connected . ST have a tool Dfuse which allows you to program the chip ( to access the...

    Typhoon H firmware bricked

    OK - received new STM processor chips and replaced on the flight management board ( the small one on top inside the H ) . Still does not communicate with the GUI on the USB cable between the PC and the Typhoon H . My thinking is as follows - At the factory they load a small program which allows...

    Typhoon H firmware bricked

    Hi John , Tried that and also did not work - My new STM chips arrive on Friday from Mouser so will solder a new one on and hopefully will be able to start from scratch . I am also hoping that Steve Wall Morris may have some instructions . If I get this resolved I will post a detailed youtube...
