Asking to update firmware over and over


#1

Is this supposed to happen? My mbot continually asks me to update the firmware - even after I have completed the firmware update. It seems like it isn’t updating or it doesn’t recognize that it has been updated.

@netrate This is a bug that hasn’t been fixed for a long time. :confused:
Update the firmware once, then ignore it.

@netrate Sorry for the late reply. I just want to run through these checks to make sire you don’t have a dysfunctional mBot.

  1. Check to see if the robot can run in live mode. If not, there may be code uploaded to the device. In that case, update the firmware.
  2. If an update has been done, and you can’t get it to run, try the mBlock IDE. the online IDE uses the latest version of mBlock, which has the bug fixes.
  3. Does code upload to the mBot? If not, you may want to contact Makeblock support.
