Throwing this guide together as an experienced multirotor builder but KISS NOOB. These steps are based on steps that recently worked successfully for me without all the extra searching around. Things change fast, so if it doesn't work a couple months from now, let us know so we can update the post.
First things first. A brand new KISS FC does NOT ship with any firmware on it. Before you can attach to it to configure it with the KISS GUI, it will first need to be flashed with firmware. Any attempts to connect without flashing will be futile. Don't waste your time trying the GUI unless you know for sure you got one that somebody already flashed.
Head on over to the Flyduino download site and grab all the required files. I created a KISS directory under my downloads directory to keep everything together in one spot.
http://kiss.flyduino.net/downloads/
Grab the Bundled Firmware for sure, and maybe your favorite browser or phone GUI. (I prefer standalone GUI and only pulled the Bundled Firmware)
If you scroll further down the downloads page, you will get to the KISS FC GUI standalone versions. I picked the newest.
Keep scrolling down and download the manuals relevant to the hardware you have. Don't forget to read them after you download them! Read The Fantastic Manuals!
Head over to the KISS Drivers and Tools page and download the STM DeFuse Demo v3.05 for Windows
http://kiss.flyduino.net/dwkb/stm-drivers-and-tools/
If the st.com site asks you for all your life's history and firstborn child, hit back in your browser and then click the link again. That got me around it any way....
If you have never installed any other FCs using your system, you may also need to download and install the STM Virtual COM Port Driver v1.4 for Windows.
After downloading the files, unzip the contents of the files and install the KISS GUI and DeFuse Demo software.
More to come in the next post of thread......
