13. This area will print status messages. If you have problems ashing your board, you
can send me a dump of the content of this area.
Preparing the hardware
Flash a rmware
Flashing new rmware is very easy. First, select the programmer (1) you are using. Adjust
the port to your needs, if you have a serial programmer you can also try to change the baud
rate (2) for the programmer, but it's recommended to leave this parameter on default value
(3). There are only a few programmers that use real USB interface, most models have a USB
serial converter build-in the programmer. For serial programmers select the port it
allocated on your system (e.g. COM1 on Windows based systems). If you are not sure about
the port you can look up this in the device manager of your system. The programmer
settings will be stored when software is closed.
Next select the kkboard (4) you want to ash with the new rmware. If you have an older
board or a homemade board you can select the processor type installed on your board
from the end of the list. Any selections made are saved after you exit the KKmulticopter
Flash Tool program.
You have the choice to ash your own compiled rmware (6) or from the repository I am
maintaining (10) in the rmware panel (5).
If you ash your own rmware or a rmware that is not in the repository. It is required that
the le is in Intel hex format. To select your hex le open the le chooser pressing (6). If it is
a le with le extension hex the ash button (7) will be enabled. Press the ash button to
start the ashing process. The actions during the ashing will be printed in the large text
area at the bottom of the window. When the ashing process is completed you should read
something similar to:
avrdude:verifying...
avrdude:nbytesofflashverified
avrdudedone.Thankyou.
Remove all ESC from the KK board! They may draw to much current from
the USB port, that will cause in a shutdown of the port or the
programmer. Depending on when it happens during the Ḵashing you
may brick your board.
Only USBasp (incl. clones), Atmel AVRisp mkII, USBtiny uses real USB interface.
