Unrecognizable Firmware mBot


#1

I have a mBot giving the Unrecognizable Firmware notification after connecting. I have updated the Firmware and reset (factory settings) the mBot several times with no change in outcome. I’m looking for a little advice here. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hey

Did you try loading the original program?

You can do that by going to

libraries< makeblock< examples< makeblock_Robot_Starter_kit < IR_control

While it is plugged in of course ^-^

Hi mrmacmathsci,

Do you have this robot (mBot)?


Did it work properly before?


#4

Yes, this is the mBot that I have (I actually have 4 of them). It worked without issue until Yesterday, which is when I tried the interventions listed above.

Hi mrmacmathsci,

Could you please reset default program for mBot again refer to the detailed steps in this instruction with latest mBlock software 3.4.11.2.How to reset default program manually.docx.zip (677.9 KB).

Besides, please update your Makeblock APP to latest version 3.0.8.

Once still the same issue, please temporarily remove all the other electronic modules except Bluetooth module from the mCore board, then connect Bluetooth have a try.

Btw, what’s kind of battery do you use? Low power may lead to this issue sometimes.
