Anyone tried this last firmware?
2012_02_22_P3X_HD55_PRO.hex
2012_02_22_P3X_HD55_PRO.hex
Picloc 3x setting experience etc.
- Thread starter BorisS
- Start date
Hello,
On W7x64, I install the latest Toolz with no problem, the driver created the USB comport, and I attempted a connect, which worked fine (with error > bad FW).
I followed the procedure to upgrade firmware, got the red led, and flash magic (configured) launched made the white LED on.
When i click the start, I got erasing.... but when entering programming (hexfile HD55_PRO) I got "unable to communicate (transmit/receive).
What's wrong??? any idea?
EDIT: Have .NET Framework 4, now installing 3.5.
.NET 3.5 does not install (install button or from msoft), it seems .NET 4.0 must be removed?
It is a little annoying to screw installed apps. retrying the whole process from a laptop (W7x32)
Someone got same issue?

Tested 2012_02_22_P3X_HD55_PRO.hex
Also tackled that the drifting problems with the HD firmwares coms because the picloc is more sensitive on the power line, changed the CC BEC with a 2S lipo
and all drifting and shaking problems are gone when the motors are running.
short test clip, no acceleration on the tilt/roll

Hi.
Want to try the DL fw, but cant connect to PL with flashmagic. I do have connection with picloctool, but flashmagic refuses.
Ofc I do the settings by George http://www.rotorpics.com/images/stories/FlashMagic_ScreenGrab.jpg
All I get is autobound etc.... Tryed to change the seriel port in windows, test connection with PL-tool, all ok, but no connection on the same port with flashmagic
Now the download at flashmagic is v. 6.30, and George says "download flashmagic 6.0"... cant find earlier version, could this be the problem?

Make sure you're not trying them at the same time. Can only do them one at a time. Only PL or flashmagic, not both.

Picloc-3X PRO has different hardware versions?
I see some advertisements for a Picloc-3X PRO II.
And I find 2 pictures of Picloc-3X PRO slightly different. One is mentioning "GPS" close to the ports.
Is there just one version of Picloc-3X PRO or a newer one?
Apparently, it is just a cosmetic/port designation difference.
EDIT: Georges confirmed that they are the same. There is just one PRO version.

Your FlashMagic window looks just like mine (of course with the exception of the COM port in use). So, I do not know what the problem is, sorry.

holco, very nice, is that the AV130 mount your using? How did the servos handle being powered directly from the 2S Lipo?

The only time I have gotten that autobaud message is when I forgot to push the button on the picloc to get it into update mode prior to flashing.

Yes it is the AV-130 mount but with Futaba BLS451 (360° mod) servo's, they seems to handle the 2S lipo without any problems.
