Flashing Cleanflight on CC3D with FTDI Adapter

Post by litse23 »

I cannot load(and Flash) the Cleanflight firmware to my CC3D NAZE board.It seems to me the problem is the connections I made between the main port of the board between the FTDI Adapter.
When I understand it well I have to connect Ground to Ground,TX to RX. RX to TX

My FTDI Adaptor(AliEpress) has the following pin outs; MISO,SCK,RES,NC,MOSI.
So I wonder what do I have to connect??? MOSI same as TX ? Miso same as RX ?

Maybe I'm missing something, but why are you not using the USB connector on the Naze32?

Also, the cc3d and the Naze32 are completely different boards. Do you have a picture or do you know which one you are using?

It seems to me that the firmware flashing procedure for both the boards is the same .Also both boards use the STM32 chip.
Only other firmware is needed.
The name of this board is ; NAZE32 SP RACING F3
.
As I understand when flashing firmware with a bin file I do not need an FTDI adaptor.
I searched for the bin files but cannot find them anymore. Sometime ago they were there.

You should be able to use BetaFlight, loading the SPRacing F3 file via Load Online.

Also, you aren't really using a naze32. Your using a Seriously Pro F3 board, which is just based on the Naze32.

Older CC3D is different hardware than Naze like above said. Both boards have STM32F chip with serial to usb hardware and don't need cp2111 usb serial chip which is cloned on most Naze derivatives without much thinking. Although some Naze derivatives might have now newer F303 chip, it still copies this adapter chip in all designs. Which is stupid IMO as there was never need for one. But in general board works well besides this hardware artefact copied everywhere. Newer F303 chip does not add to better flight performance but sells better because it's newer. Maybe it has as a bonus inverter which is nice to have for implementing Frsky protocol for example. Also if you plan running stupid nonsense fast loops to average jitter, just go with dshot protocol which is digital and doesn't have jitter at all so does not need to run fast :) there is a physical limit on how fast motor can change its speed anyway and we are already way above that.
