I’ve been at it for few hours now and I’m unable to connect my orange cube to Mission Planner.
From this site ArduPilot firmware : /Tools/MissionPlanner
I downloaded latest mission planner and driver file. Both files ending in .msi.and installed them. When I go to device manager, my com port reads “ProfiCNC CUBE - New Driver Required (COM17)”. It’s weird that it can sense the cube but a driver is still missing and I can’t figure out which driver I need.
If I open up Mission Planner, I’ll select Com17 115200 baud rate and click Connect. After 30 seconds, I get the message “No Heartbeat Packets Received”
When I click Details, I get the following message
Please check the following
You have firmware installed (How can I do this without connecting to the Missoin Planner, maybe that’s the main issue)
2 You have the correct serial port connected (which I do)
PX4 - You have the microsd card installed. This isn’t PX4, but orange cube and yes 16GB card is installed
Try a different USB port (I’ve tried all 3)
So can you please tell me which driver I’m missing or how do I install firmware without using mission planner?
You should only need the “MissionPlanner-1.3.77.msi” file as it will get the drivers during the installation. Perhaps you overwrote good files with bad files.
I recently went through this with a cube orange on a laptop that had recently been issued to me (read: didn’t have all my usual software on it). While I had the latest beta of MP I ended up having to install QGC to get all the drivers I needed. Once I did that I was able to install the latest firmware with MP.
We have a similar issue, Somehow shocking how nasty it is to get the cube orange connected to mission planner. You would hope it to be plug and play! Here is our issue:
We have windows 10 pro. We finally removed our mission planner and installed the latest Stable mission planner, Run it as admin, then opened Contr+ F screen to Clean Drivers
Downloaded driver.msi files as prescribed
Then reboot Mission Planner, connected the Cube orange and found this:
Com4 ProfiCNC CUBE – New c, in the box of port options, but not the necessary one for the cube orange…
In device management same issue under port:
ProfiCNC CUBE - New driver required (COM4)
We followed instructions on this page and yet do not succeed…
