I'm using Multiwii MWC SE v_2.5.
I connected it to my computer using FTDI Tool, but somehow windows is not able to recognize it.
I have installed the Fdti drivers but still it is not able to get it.
For god sake somebody help me, I'm so eager to get this thing in air, but not able to do so.
help me flash it.
Go to device manager and check whether windows has detected the ftdi tool as a com port, if it has, note note down the com port number
Try updating it again..happened with me too
Nope, its not recognising,
I tried to update it manually, like it shows on its site, but haven't been able to direct the driver to the update file.
I installed the driver, and i dn't really know where it has installed, if i could know then i'll be able to direct it to that folder.
Any suggestions ?
Give this a shot...
Select update driver for the FTDI from the Device manager and then select the driver folder in Arduino..!
Tried, no results ..
I tried redirecting it to the System32 folder as well.
Failed.
Did you try plugging it to another port?
I had the same problem with Arduino one of my port on the USB hub was damaged so it wouldn't show the Arduino!
have u connected the ftdi port correctly if yes check that the ftdi is wrking also check that multiwii functions (i.e: when u connecte ftdi led should blink up similarly when u connect esc to multiwii and power it multiwii would have some firmware initially on the memory ) in short are the dead or alive :P
yep, the multiwii and the FTDI work very well, cz the green LED lights up when I connect the FTDI, also sometimes the FDTI blinks as well, but with no result.
i guess pics would help much better in solving this problem
Okay at first I was not able to connect the multiwii, but now when I did, idk how then the arduino is not able to upload the sketch.
Plus I can't figure out which port my FTDi is using, or is it really using any ?
wat type of board is it set in the adriuno ? i mean go to tools and set it to promini and try uploading
if you can come through teamviewer, i can fix that for you.
I use this port- USB serial Port(COM14)
Board, port, processor all are given in the pic.
Still its the same result.
what is teamviewer ?
Sorry I'm new to Rc and this forum. 8-)
select Board "arduino uno" or "pro mini"
and what about programmer?
what programmer ?
there were only those options there ...
just as I try to upload, the motors chime like they do, but the program doesn't gets uploaded.
The uploading process freezes.
Arduino Uno didn't work as well...
Duh!
I feel like I made a big mistake choosing this one :banghead:
select programmer usually "usbasp"
Earlier it was "AVRISP mkll"
Now trying with "USBasp", "arduino Uno", COM14
Just in- Failed !! :banghead: :banghead:
failed again
It says "programmer is not responding"
can you please expand the error message and post a screen shot.
Error msg :
what kind of ftdi tool are you using?
and the port is connected with any other apps? like multiwii config utility?
Download team viewer and get connected to AKHIL he will try doing it for u :) its a software which would connect ur computer to his and he can control your system for doing the necessary changes you can see your mouse moving and all you can see what and how he is doing it so that u can learn what was the problem
Bdw where did u get the Multiwii 2.5 from??? And from when are u using it ? Did u crashed while flying?
Nope its not connected to Multiwii Gui.
I bought it from rcmumbai. I just know its a FTDI Tool V1.0 ( that's what the chip says)
If you have a usbasp you can connect it to the isp and program it
Or if somebody.is.up for making an hex file just burn it to the board and you will.be good to go
For your problem there can be many reasons......
First of all you might be having wrong drivers for your USB to serial converter - if you post a close up picture of your ftdi tool or just post the number of the controller IC, we can help you with the correct driver.
If you have something else connected to the serial pins on multiwii board it can't be reflashed through UART pins. If you don't understand what I am talking about, then here is easy way - remove everything else from your multiwii board except the ftdi tool. !
Now let's assume the multiwii board is ready for programming and I the correct drivers for your ftdi is installed. You can check the connected port from device manager.
Now open arduino IDE , select Board - Arduino UNO , port - the port for ftdi tool as seen in device manager , and programmer - AVRISP mk-II .
if you are using latest ftdi drivers then it won't work because company has started to brick duplicate ftdi chips because of chinese copy of arduino
also tell your chip number and if possible post a screenshot of your device manager
if you are facing the same problem as i did then i can help you :)
most probably its a driver issue
i saw your ftdi tool (its almost same as mine)
also fdti driver installs 2 drivers
1. usb serial port (which i can see in your screenshot com14)
2. usb serial converter ,which is present at the end of universal serial bus controller (which i am unable to see in your screenshot (scroll down ))
if these two are installed then your ftdi should work fine
if not then try these drivers CDM v2.12.00 WHQL Certified (there's a trick or way to install these which i can tell you after confirming its driver problem)
Okay if you say so, I'll give that a try, is that the lastest drivers or the older version of it ?
My FTDI is v1.0 chip.
N everything I tried had failed earlier ....
Older version
you didn't tell me if usb serial converter is installed or not
Yep both of the drivers are installed but the problem is that i have installed the latest from their site, i dn't knw which one's latest acc. to them ...

Your error message here clearly shows you do not have the driver for the board... Download the drivers from the below link and run it...You will now be able to detect the board

I do have the latest drivers CDM 2.12 or something ...
It doesn't works at all ...
Try uninstalling and then reinstalling from the site mentioned above
I have tried uninstalling, re installing ...
but the problem remains the same ...
I did exactly what i was told to do or what i have learnt from the internet but this thing doesn't works at all ....
many people have suffered through this but still haven't got any clear solution for this !!
can anybody tell me how to power multiwii with just a lipo n nothing else plugged in ?
