Upgrade firmware not working


#1

Hi, I try to connect my mBot Ranger with USB cable, but when I go to “Connect” menu, I can’t see it on the “Serial Port” menu. So I activate Bluetooth on PC (MacBook) and than I can see and connect to the “/dev/tty.Makeblook-ELETSPP” on the “serial port” menu. I selected “Upgrade Firmware” but after a while a massage “upload failed” appears. I’m using mBlock (v3.4.8). Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,

First off, neither Bluetooth nor the WiFi dongle have access to the onboard programmer so you cannot upload programs, firmware, etc. through that path.

Next, you will need to install a different serial driver because Apple changed the USB stack and broke the old workarounds. See this thread.
