Firmware Not Starting Correctly On Power Up #65

Closed umdpru closed 2 years ago

umdpru commented 3 years ago

I have flashed FW v0.92. Occassionally, the arduino board boots up into the blinky program instead of the headtracker firmware. When I hit the reset button on the Nano it reboots into the headtracker firmware.

dlktdr commented 3 years ago

Highly suggested to use 2.0 instead. 0.92 is pretty old. lots of fixes since then.

https://github.com/dlktdr/HeadTracker/releases/tag/v2.0

2.04 is the most recent FW available under the 2.0 GUI.

A Nano33BLE will enter the bootloader mode no matter what firmware you have on it you are on if the power flickers on and off on during power up.

It thinks you hit the reset button twice and asked for bootloader mode. Might try a better power connector, or just press the white reset button once.

Just another thought too if your power flicker on startup can't be mended with the power connector you could also add a power up delay circuit to the board with a resistor and capacitor that should prevent any flicker from entering bootloader mode

Might want to try a 10k resistor first.

Thank you. I will give the V2.0 a shot!

umdpru commented 3 years ago

just flashed that version and did the setup. the power flicker problem persists and this is using USB to power it. I will wire it and check how it performs when powered direct via Vin. Also, V.92 was used following the videos on youtube. They obviously need updating. I had problems with servo outputs not showing up on radio with V.92 also but all fixed with V2.0.

Might want to try a different USB cable and power source too if your powering via USB. Could just be a bad cable causing a power issue.

Actually just posted 2.1 today too.. :) Keep an eye on https://github.com/dlktdr/HeadTracker/releases for updates. There isn't a lot new on this one, few new features and a couple bug fixes.

If you need help setting up can also get support on Discord or RC groups. Links at the top of https://headtracker.gitbook.io/head-tracker/ docs page.

@umdpru Were you able to solve your issue?

dlktdr commented 2 years ago

Haven't heard anything about this in a while. If you need the issue re-opened please comment
