make

make install

Which gave me: Please unplug your dongle or breakout board and plug it back in.

So, I think everything was fine at that point. Then I tried running a tool and got the following:

./nrf24-scanner.py -v -c 1
[2016-03-25 17:58:57.431]  Using channels 1
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise USBError(_strerror(ret), ret, _libusb_errno[ret])
usb.core.USBError: [Errno 110] Operation timed out

All other tools give "Operation timed out" as well. So, I tried a "make", and "make install" again. "Make" went fine, but "make install" gave me this:

make install
./prog/usb-flasher/usb-flash.py bin/dongle.bin

    raise Exception('No compatible device found.')
Exception: No compatible device found.

make: *** [install] Error 1

And the output from running tools is now:

./tools/nrf24-scanner.py -c {1..5}
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./tools/nrf24-scanner.py", line 27, in <module>

    radio = nrf24()
  File "/opt/mousejack/tools/lib/nrf24.py", line 64, in __init__
    raise Exception('Cannot find USB dongle.')
Exception: Cannot find USB dongle.

Any thoughts?

Does the dongle populate correctly in lsusb? (I'm guessing this will be the case based on the output of the make install.)

It is possible that there is a permission issue. Does sudo make install run successfully?

If this does not work, then it will be worth trying the CrazyRadio firmware flashing utility. To use this, you might need to update the USB ID that it looks for from 1915:7777 to 1915:0102 depending on the current state of the dongle. This is a one line change here:

https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyradio-firmware/blob/master/usbtools/cradioFlasher.py#L207

Using the CrazyRadio flashing utility, you can select the compiled binary (bin/dongle.bin) and it will write it to the dongle.

Let me know how it works out!

Hi Marc. Sorry I let this issue die off. Just wanted to say that I was able to re-flash with the tool you linked. Thanks!

Can't wait for a proof of concept to come out! I have a wireless keyboard sitting around somewhere that I want to try it out on.
