I put the Herelink Controller into Fastboot mode and used flasher_win to update the firmware.
I then powered the controller on and downloaded the latest software update via WiFi.
I powered on the air unit and updated the firmware using flasher_win, and received a success message.
Running AAU01210729 and the latest GCS firmware as you have to or it won’t pair. We pair and use it for 6 or 7 times and then we lose telemetry, but it is still paired. Only way to get it back is to re flash the air unit firmware and works again.
Right… I had telemetry go out 5 times on one unit yesterday alone… very frustrating in the field when flying my Lidar to map… Maybe @Michael_Oborne@Alvin@MadRC could help with this. There are multiple cases of this on the cubepilot discussion.
Seems to be a critical issue for myself and others.
You have to update the Airlink unit which is inside your Copter. Also do not update the Airlink unit thro the Herelink GCS. Update it thro’ the PC thro’ USB. This is much more reliable.
Hi,
Actually I am running on the stable release. I never tried the Beta version . The stable is good to go except you have sometimes the video stream freezing while recording but not always…The video switches ON very quickly. Well my HDMI is coming from a Raspberry Pi 3 A+ companion computer
@austin relieved to hear this problem is happening with other people. We’ve had to reflash our air unit twice now due to telemetry issues. Basically the exact same problem described by everyone else. Running an Orange Cube with herelink controller, air unit, cube, and mission planner/QGC all updated within the last 2 weeks. Also updating the air unit via PC
The telem connection problem can happen. But mostly easy to recognize because the faulty units do not connect at all.
Having them malfunctioned occasionally is strange.
This LED behaviour displays there are issue on telem connection.
That may be due to bad internal connection with an IC. But, again, being able
to temporary fix it with software update is strange.
