AlkaMotors commented 1 year ago

Make sure you flashed the target that say e230 or 'Skystars butter'. There were two different microcontrollers used for the km55 .The 'Skystars km55' target will.be for the f051. Use this one for the red heatsink version https://github.com/AlkaMotors/AM32-MultiRotor-ESC-firmware/releases/download/v1.92/AM32_SKYSTARS_BUTTER_E230_1.92.hex

Tried the 1.92 on another matching esc and it stopped working

was able to flash it back to 1.88 with AM32_GD32E230_SKYSTARS_KM55_1_88.hex

and they work again

it is a red 20x20 long 55a esc

AlkaMotors commented 1 year ago

It sounds like you are using the online config tool? Do not use the online esc configurator. This is no longer supported . It will not work for version 1.92 an newer. They made some changes in december that require every single new firmware name to be entered into the config tool in order to use, so new versions definitely will not work. Please use the official am32 config tool that's in the readme.

I used the program version was 1.87 I think

I just tested version 1.92. The file i linked above. "SKYSTARS BUTTER E230" on the red km55 and it runs normally. This file had been flashed to quite a few of them so far. The only thing that would make it not work after flashing is if the file were wrong, can you do a screen capture of video of the flashing?

beigevanman commented 1 year ago

When it trys to connect it say BAD or no ACK from IF

How did you revert the last one from 1.92 back to 1.88 ?

AlkaMotors commented 1 year ago

Can you join either the discord or slack channel and we can help you a bit faster with the problem. What size are the firmware files you download? They should be about 70kb hex files. If you right click the file and save target as it might not download correctly.

beigevanman commented 1 year ago

The second one I used the file you suggested that said success but wouldn't spin the motors

I was just lucky I guess being able to.downgrade

The first one I did is in the pic and won't do.anything

I'm.hoping the v2 adapter and cube programmer sorts it

I

I don't think it will.. the st-link is only for stm32 mcus. Can you tell me the file size of the hex that is downloaded. You can also try powering up the ESC after the config tool is connected. There is some sort of other issue happening that we need to figure out. The bootloader will not allow writing to its own area. The file that you say does not work on yours has been used on many of these ESC's. What FC are you using to connect with?

beigevanman commented 1 year ago

I've used 3 different ones now to see if that made any difference. 1st was a f7.mini skystars ...then a f4 speedybee then a blue one powerhobby or something Ilike that...they all.work.on the working one and all.the same on the not working one

Use this method to revert the firmware. Did you check the file size? I flashed 1.92 to the ESC with f7 and f4.

All.the leads.were made up correctly for each combo ..they all.work.in betaflight .no issues...just the bad ack and no output.

Are you in the US??

I am in Canada

beigevanman commented 1 year ago

It Verked. .. had to power cycle it about 30 times then had the Good ack message and flashing option popped up.

I used the e230 butter 1.88 .. put it back to how it was.

Omly wanted to update so the post tones were in sync

Thank.you for.your time

It seems the am32 is very stable and very smooth with power delivery ...motors even sound happier

Again thank you

I glad it's working but it's really strange that 1.92 is not working. Those versions have been out for a while. Watch out about the file size if you download the hex file from the internet with a right click and 'save as'. It can produce a file with the right name but not the correct data. Hopefully we will make flashing a little easier in the future and we can pull right from the GitHub repo into the flashing tool.

beigevanman commented 1 year ago

The front end is a little old school ,win98. But it works.

With a little.bit of youth related app tap tap.mouse .

Could be very easily resolved .

With Chris rosser recently.singing the am32 praises on his channel and Bardwell worshiping the ground he walks on...hopefully will be the new sliced bread in the fpv community
