Hi guys,
Well I got my first build kit together. (Bought an entire kit off Amazon) http://www.amazon.com/iFlight-Contr...psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00
So I got everything soldered mounted and hooked up and running. It has an SP F3 6DOF flight controller. I read through the manual following these directions. Running Cleanflight first I installed this as instructed:
"Install latest Silicon Labs CP2102 USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers
http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/pages/usbtouartbridgevcpdrivers.aspx"
which I don't really understand, but I was not able to download the Cleanflight firmware without it. It worked!
I got into the set up, have my quad moving, could run up all the motors etc... but could not get my TX to work. I have Radiolink AT9 and have R6D Rx. I got it to bind and double clicked so it would do PPM (blue light on). Anyway, the TX wouldn't work on TX setup so I started messing around in settings ( no idea what I'm doing) and managed to change a UART 1 2 or 3 setting and I lost connection! So I fumbled around disconnected, reconnected and my firmware wont load. When I plug in the USB is says "bootloader failed to load!"
WTH did I do and any ideas on how I can undo it? Part of the problem is I have no idea how to run Cleanflight, set it up etc... as it was my rookie intro to it. I spent a few hours last night googling, but I don't even understand any of this stuff yet. Hopefully I explained my problem correctly.
Here is the SP F3 manual if it helps... http://seriouslypro.com/files/SPRacingF3-Manual-latest.pdf
Let me know if I can provide anything else. I can hunt down links or whatever... I just totally lost on what to do and afraid to try anything else without guidance since that's what I did to get into trouble in the first place!
