unable to update receiver with FrSky STM Tool
unable to update receiver with FrSky STM Tool
Recently I bought an FrSky STM Tool .
With this tool it must be possible to flash/update firmware in Frsky receivers and moduls.
I connected the smartports of my STM Tool and my X8R(Frsky) receiver. Set the dipswitch on my STKTool to S.Port2, down.
Further I started tne program: FrSky_Sport_tool_20140221.exe, conneted the tool to my computer via USB, filled out the Com port assigned my comupter.
Lowest line in programwindow reads; CONNECTED Busscanning finished.
However Connect state block is RED ??
Now according to the instruction manual for FrSy STK I have to click " FILE" button. Problem; I see no FILE button ??
It seems to me that the program I work with is not the right one ?
I hope someone can help me ??

Re: unable to update receiver with FrSky STM Tool
That's the wrong tool on the PC, you need "“frsky_update_Sport.exe".
Also, for firmware upgrading, you need to plug the cable into the port numbered 2 on the STK as well as changing the switch to the "Upgrade" position.

The difficult we do immediately,
The impossible takes a little longer!

Re: unable to update receiver with FrSky STM Tool
It's still very confusing to me.
I also used the program ; FrSky_update_S.Port.exe.
The tool here Is STK S.Port toolkit with a dipswitch which I put to the downside to update S,Ports pruducts.
Also I made the connections as in the manual.
Anyway I ordered another tool(Frsky upgrade cable with FrSky Smart Port Converter).
Can you tell me for what job I can use the my STM tool?

Re: unable to update receiver with FrSky STM Tool
To update a SPort device with the STK:
1. Put the switch on the STK down, do NOT connect the device to the STK.
2. Plug the STK into the computer.
3. Run "FrSky_update_S.Port.exe", make sure you select the correct COM port (you may need to install drivers for the STK).
4. Select the upgrade file, the program should start looking for the device.
5. Only now connect the device to PORT 2 (not the port shown in the diagram for configuring the S6R). Check the polarity, the two ports are the opposite ways round.
6. The program should now report the device has been found, and you can go ahead an do the upgrade.

Re: unable to update receiver with FrSky STM Tool
Sorry Mike , still questions but making progress !!
Now we are at the point where I started this whole discussion; point 4 of your menu above.
"Select the upgrade file " I think there must be a button "FILE" in the program but I don't see it !
For this reason I had the idea that this S.Port tool progarm is not compatable with the tool I use here.

Then you're still not using the right program.

Re: unable to update receiver with FrSky STM Tool
Guys
I have an issue
1 i have the sport tool 1.4
I installed new driver's so i did see com7 as new port
I plug the STK in i hear the confirmation and i can see the
device as Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge com7
the swith is on position 2 and cable is on connection number 2
I start the tool select com7
Click on file select the .frk file
And it will never find the device, i tried on X6R S8R and same on both
The light on receiver is blinking red all the time never goes solid
Any idea what it might be

Re: unable to update receiver with FrSky STM Tool
You need to keep the Rx powered OFF, until you get to the "Finding Device" stage. Do this either by only plugging the Rx in at that point, or connect only ground and signal from the STK to the Rx and provide a separate, switched supply for the Rx, which you can switch on at the correct time.
