Solved "Not enough space" error message when updating firmware on er4.

[toryander]

When I go to upgrade my Radiomaster er4 rx I get the message "Not enough space." Logically I take this to mean their isn't enough memory for the new firmware. Is there a way to get around this (delete old firmware (how?)) or is it stuck at 3.3.1 forever? I reverted back to 3.3.1 on my tx so I can fly, but I wonder about the future.

Almost sounds like you have the wrong file downloaded. I will have to check mine later tonight.

What release are you trying to go to, and what is the name of the firmware file?

I was going to 4.0. My transmitter updated correctly, but I got that error message on the er4. The file name was "firmware.bin" Hmmm, maybe I did make the file with wrong settings. I just did it again and came out with firmware.bin.gz. I'll give that a shot.

I figured it out. I think I did create the wrong file the time it failed. I created another file this time in Expresslrs Configurator and it created "firmware.bin.gz." I extracted the firmware.bin file in it and tried to update but got "Not enough space" again. I then updated using the firmwar.bin.gz file and it worked perfectly. I guess I overthought it the first time. Now I am at 4.0 on both tx and rx. I noticed right away I'm not getting beeps when it binds. Must be some changes in the 4.0 version.

The RX expects the files to be compressed when uploading through the wifi configurator.
