Pixracer unable to Connect to Mission planner after Flashing customised Firmware

[Ryan_Ho]

Hi!
I am not familiar with all these technologies. What happened was that I flashed a customised version of the 3.6.1 into my PixRacer. After doing that, I was unable to connect the PixRacer to the Mission Planner via Com Port; The LEDs PixRacer do not flash red and blue as they should.

This is the custom firmware that I uploaded. I changed the APHalChibiOS/fmuv4/hwdef.dat file as instructed to change the WiFi Ports into SPI ports.

Here is the link to the thread.

Integration of Pixracer with Optical Flow PMW 3901

Hi, we are a group of students trying to integrate Optical Flow PMW 3901 designed by Pesky Products with the Pixracer using the Arducopter ver 3.6 firmware . Here’s the link: https://www.tindie.com/products/onehorse/pmw3901-optical-flow-sensor/#specs So far the limited resources we have found pointed us to towards configuring the WIFI port, initially for the ESP 8266 Wifi Module. However, we are confused by how to configure it as well. Please help us (or save us) if you have any idea on how to…

This my github repository. the code i compiled is under the aa_v_3_6_1 branch.

It would be nice if someone could just point me to a direction I could actually work towards to…
Thank you in advance.

Good day, did you have installed the fmu v4 version into your pixracer?
just try re install the correct firmware.

Hi, i am also facing the same issues. After i uploaded the custom firmware successfully, the pixracer cannot be connected to the mission planner although it has a com port. May i have some advice on this.

Thanks.

i believe that there may be some errors with the ‘bootloader’ (?)

You can recover the bootloader with a nucleo board or stlink programmer.
