problems reinstaling er9x

[martofer]

I can not reinstall er9x, my existing er9x in the transmitter got corrupt for some reason and the eepe will not connect trough USB, " avrdude" .

[MikeB]

What message does AvrDude report?

Mike.

[martofer]

That AvrDude is not found at C:\, but I downloaded few times.

[jhsa]

Try going to the Burn menu/Configure in eepe, and then point the avrdude location to the avrdude.exe file in your eepe installation folder. Please see picture..

João

[martofer]

I do not have that option in avrdude that I download, every time that I try gives me a diferent location that is not found avrdude. May be my transmitter is corrupt itself.

[jhsa]

Are you using eepe to flash your radio? Avrdude is installed within eepe and can be found at eepe's install directory.

João

[martofer]

Yes I have installed eepe also and they are in the same folder but the flashing wont happen, I have try it in different ways and still the same. Some times comes to the down loading part and stops in the middle,, message " the avrdude did not finish properly"..

[Kilrah]

Then there is likely a problem with your programmer, but you should paste the exact message in the output window.

[jhsa]

Go to the burn menu and click on "Review Output", then copy and paste it here.
I hope you didn't use the -F option. This can brick your radio.

João

[martofer]

OK, I have make it work to "Write document1.eepe to EEPROM memory?" and give me a blank download page,, AVRDUDE- write EEPROM to TX.

[martofer]

What is the F option?

[martofer]

OK, OR, "Write er9x-ardupilot.ex to EEPROM memory?" and same blank page.

[Daedalus66]

What is the F option?

Something you don't EVER want to use. You may be offered it when AVRDude can't connect. Don't go there.

[Daedalus66]

Go to the Burn menu and select Read Memory from TX.

You will see a message from AVRDude.

Now press Review Output. You will see a review screen with the message. Right click, choose Copy.

Now paste to this thread and people will know where to look for solutions.

[jhsa]

Go to the burn menu and click on "Review Output", then copy and paste it here.

João

Please do what I asked here. If you don't do what we ask, we cannot help you.

Try to read the eeprom. At this point DO NOT try to write anything as your setup is not working.
Go to the burn menu and select " Read memory from TX". see if it reads the eeprom..

Then go again to the burn menu and click on "Review Output", then copy and paste it here.

João

EDIT: Nigel was faster on the trigger

[martofer]

OK , it looks like I have the wrong driver for the USB , where I can get the right one?...on "review output" is a blank page.

[jhsa]

Did you point eepe to the avrdude.exe in the eepe installation folder as shown on the picture I posted above?

[martofer]

An=================================================================================
Started AVRDUDE
C:/avrdude.exe -c usbasp -p m64 -U eeprom:r:C:/Users/marto/AppData/Local/Temp/temp.hex:i
=================================================================================
avrdude.exe: can't open config file "": Invalid argument
avrdude.exe: error reading system wide configuration file ""

=================================================================================
AVRDUDE done - exit code 1
=================================================================================
d here is what I got so far,,,

[jhsa]

It seems you didn't do what I asked before.. Please go to the eepe burn menu, and set Avrdude location to the avrdude.exe file in the eepe installation folder. If you don't do this you will never make it work.
Please see picture, again..

João

[martofer]

OK,OK, I'm trying, but for some reason does not work.

[jhsa]

What doesn't work?
Can't you hit the browse button on the right side and navigate to the eepe install directory??

João

[martofer]

OK, I got the configuration on the eepe just like your pic, but I still get a blank page.

[martofer]

OK,It keeps message " Avrdude not found at c:/program files(x86)/eePe/averdude.exe. But when I go to check it is there.

[martofer]

OK , Now to the blank page..

[jhsa]

Hmm, strange.
Maybe unninstall all the avrdudes you installed or tried to install, also unninstall eepe, and install only eepe again..
Go to www.er9x.com and get the latest eepe.

João

[martofer]

Yes, I did that and finally work it, the problem " I think" was that there is too many avrdudes and many eepes and all of them came from a different address and not compatible one each other or may be not for er9x"?". Thank you for your support and I will keep in contact all ways here. Thanks.

[jhsa]

Good that is working now.. Well done..
