Firmware installation SpeedyBee F405 V3 not successful

Hello,

I tried installing Arducopter in Speedybee F405 V3. While connected I get the following error.
8/2/2024 6:39:52 PM : Config Error: Baro: unable to initialise driver
8/2/2024 6:39:52 PM : Config Error: fix problem then reboot
Firmware tried are

path: /Copter/stable-4.5.5/SpeedyBeeF405Mini and
path: /Copter/stable-4.5.5/speedybeef4v3

While trying to flash the second firmware I get an error:
ERROR: Firmware not suitable for this board fw:1082 - board:1135

Any Suggestions?

Thanks

Hi Daniel, I have followed the steps and tried installing it. But the error still persists. Could it be a hardware issue?

Thanks

Did you try reflash into dtu and install again? I use a.inav configurator the first time. Subsequently then uses mission planner.

try this, download Zadig https://zadig.akeo.ie/
hold boot button and connect FC to your computer, verify you have STM32 BOOTLOADER visible in Device Manager, open Zadig, click Options, List all devices, select STM32 BOOTLOADER, click to upgrade driver, after that with the FC still in DFU mode use INAV configurator to flash the arducopter_with_bl.hex on the FC.

Please check the link below and make sure what board you are using first.

https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-autopilots.html

Then you can follow steps in previous links.

BTW,

I think speedybee comes with betaflight firmware. But it seems have the ap fw already, so you have to make sure the first ap firmware is correct. Please check the links and compare your board with those boards first.

ERROR: Firmware not suitable for this board fw:1082 - board:1135

1135 is AP_HW_SPEEDYBEEF4MINI
1082 is AP_HW_SPEEDYBEEF4V3

good catch lida2003. then he needs to use this firmware for SpeedyBeeF405Mini ArduPilot firmware : /Copter/stable/SpeedyBeeF405Mini

@falconuav please confirm the board you have again or show photo.

Happy to hear you solved it! Had the exakt same problem with a Speedybee F405 v3 (single board, without esc) after accidentally flashing it with the Speedybee Mini Arduplane fm. Noticed that Arduplane support for my board seems to have stopped after v4.4.4. After flashing it with that version it now works. Funny coincidence is that I recently had an issue with RC control behaving erratical after flashing a Mateksys F405 TE to the latest version. But after rolling back to 4.4.4 it worked again…
