The MR3040 firmware that contains can be located here: 
http://dslrdashboard.info/downloads/
Flash instructions can be found here: 
http://dslrdashboard.info/tp-link-mr3040-openwrt-flash/
Here with images: http://lrtimelapse.com/gear/dslrdashboard/

If you can ping the router then you didn't brick it. Does the firmware that you 
flashed has the web interface packages? Can you access the router with telnet 
or ssh?

I watched the Zaho video DSLR-Dashboard using MR3040 and believed the 
file name for the flash upgrade was 
"openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3040-v2-squashfs-factory".
 From the Downloads selection available, I was uncertain what was the 
correct file to download.

As a result, I did a google search and downloaded it from 
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-mr3040?)
The video was obviously made some time ago and the download file 
organisation has been upgraded.
I thought this was strange at the time I would need to do this, I did 
initially download V2 factory image but thought it was not correct. 
(File size is correct!)
"ddserver-openwrt-tl-mr3040-v2-squashfs-factory-0.13.bin" Version 2 is 
required as I have the 3 position switch.

TP-Link MR3040 ddserver OpenWrt firmware

V0.2-13

MR3040 version  V1  V2
factory
    *V1 factory image 
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxMZ8XY3H2wiMFZMMlNXNkRYYzQ/edit?usp=sharing>*

    *V2 factory image 
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxMZ8XY3H2wiWTJmVVFfVDY0Mzg/edit?usp=sharing>*

It appears, I  have downloaded the incorrect  file, or downloaded an old 
version.
I will try telnet, but am not sure how to update the flash with the new 
file at this stage.
I use Visual Studio and SQL server but will get a bit of help today 
using Telnet and SSH.
Thanks for the reply.

stage.

while in ssh you can try this: 
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/generic.sysupgrade

replace the firmware URL to the ddserver OpenWrt sysupgrade URL that matches 
your device.
