** FIXED I was using a brand new Imac. Reinstalled all drivers and made sure to drag the firmware to the desktop before selecting it to install. Still didn't work. I had to try on my laptop, and VOILA. Fixed! Thanks Freefly Team! Original Post: Hello All, i tried to update the movi controller up from 1.1.3 - I got repeated send file errors and after trying to cycle through, the controller will no longer turn on. Any hard resets/suggestions? Thanks!
Hi Richie: Can you provide more details please? (Apologies in advance for the Spanish Inquisition....nobody expects....etc.etc.) Are you truing to do the upgrade to v3.2.1? (See https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wCmwA43pr8ienBFm46D-PwgX9HFo0surBgx3MBcIKlo/edit) Are you using a Mac or a PC? Which USB port on the MoVI Controller are you connecting to? Which USB cable are you using? EDIT: Oh....and are you following these instructions: https://freeflysystems.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205133135-How-do-I-update-the-firmware-on-my-MōVI-Controller- Cheers Andy Forensic Software & sUAV / Drone Analyst : Photographer : Videographer : Pilot (Portland, Oregon, USA): Trees=2, Ground=1, Props=11.

Bring the .bin file to the desktop before selecting it in the app. Disconnect the Controller from any power sources. Leave in OFF position Open the App Watch the COM selection box. Plug in the controller you should see the controller in the COM box Select the .bin firmware file from desktop and install If this doesn't work, try another computer
Thanks for the posting, Richie. You're absolutely right -- the FTDI driver is what allows the computer to "see" the MoVI Controller when it's connected and if that doesn't happen, you will never be able to update the Controller because the driver has not detected it.
