If it ain't broke, don't fix it??? You kidding?
No not that!!!

Anyway, got one of these..........
https://www.ebay.com/itm/QAV250-Qua...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
to build my 250mm quad. What a nightmare trying to figure out why it wouldn't connect. First, it's not got the MultiWii firmware, it actually had Cleanflight 1.11.0. But just could not connect with any of the configurators. I had originally installed this......."CP210x_Windows_Drivers" and thought I was good. But no matter how many times I ran Zadig and ImpulseRC and several other apps, just could not get the FC to talk to my PC. I downloaded and installed the "STM32" drivers...........again. Then in recovering old ground I discovered.........."https://www.silabs.com/documents/public/software/CP210x_Windows_Drivers_with_Serial_Enumeration.zip"........but the installer didn't work so I went to Device Manager, did an "Update Drivers" and manual selected the folder with the "Serial Enumeration" and VOILA..........FC talks to PC. So flashed the Betaflight firmware but when setting FC up, notice my baro was gone. But had enough for one day and just reflashed FC with Cleanflight 1.14.0. When I can find something definite on what the latest firmware I can flash on Rev 5, I'll reflash with the latest. Or maybe even see about using Betaflight if I can get my baro sensor to work..............

I gotta hand it to you, you're persistent! I'd definitely recommend flashing with Betaflight. And that had to be a lot of soldering!

Naw, Rick........no soldering involved............thankfully............
And yeah, once I figure out turning on the baro and compass I'll definitely be flashing Betaflight................

You'll be able to enable the barometer in the Betaflight configurator

Hi RENOV8R, thanks for the prompt response. I just tried impulserc right now and this is the message I get. "An error occurred while entering bootloader! Unexpected number of devices detected." I only have the quad connected. I've been at it for weeks already and cant connect to this dam thing.
