Wake up! Time to fly!
Sooo I FINALLY got the Femto to flash.
What worked?
Well After a day to calm down I decided to start from scratch AGAIN. Loaded all the listed drivers.. cp210, Defuse, and Zadig. Again it would not flash. I tried to use zadig to load the win driver suggested.. Would NOT let me do it.
So once again Removed ALL drivers, cold started the computer and ran Reg cleaner to make sure nothing was hiding in the dark corners of the computer.
This time I loaded Zadig before even connecting the FC
It gave me the option to load the windows discovery thing for pnp so I did. (NOTE I also did this severalt times already in trying to make it all work.) Once that was in I plugged in the FC and listed devices. Tried the Win driver and again failed.. with no drivers at all installed.. FAILED. So for giggles and haha's I decided to do the libusb driver so maybe I could do a replace with the win drivers.. I disconncted the FC started in boot loader mode to try and replace the Libusb driver and low and behold it popped right into DFU mode on those drivers.
I loaded the newest firmware and hit flash... zip bang boom DONE!
So I spent the better part of teh day trying to get a receiver to talk to it. No dice.. Finally I went out and found the wiring diagram for the Femto and the PDf manual. After some reading and looking over the diagram I saw that to use any ppm receiver you can not use the signal port TJ shows in the video. The one for ppm is next to where he tells you to power the camera from in the front part of the controller. The 4th spot in that uart is the TX side for telemetry if you run that.
I managed to get my receiver talking and got the end points and centers set. Now I have put it all together and was ready to go thru blheli suite nightmare ( I say that now as its almost guaranteed not to work and cause me more pain) and found the receiver is not talking again..
But we made progress today so I felt obligated to come pass on the information as well as thank all you guys who have offered to try peer to peer and get this up and running.
BTW as a closing note.. NO OTHER drivers have been loaded at all except that libusb one and Betaflight will connect in DFU mode AND normal mode with nothing else installed. I will test my Alien and my Versa later hopefully they wake right up too with no hassles.
