Lost ESC 1 on a CrazyBeeF3FR while flashing blue jay...

[docjeffrey]

I was flashing Blue Jay 0.14 on this board from 16.7 on my Mac and it froze flashing ESC1 i waited for almost 10min nothing happened so i unplugged and plugged it says failed to read ESC 1 and now it is not showing up when I plug and read setup...

What can i do to flash back ESC 1 to BL Heli 16.7 O-L-5... I will not arm the quad until i have this fixed... do you know any software i can use?

Please post the log.

Does the ESC show up as Unknown, or does it not show up at all?

Same happened to me. Brand new Mamba F35, I'm also running macOS. ESC1 flashed fine then it hung on ESC2 forever. I unplugged and tried again. This time ESC1 failed. Now ESC1 is missing, ESC2 is corrupt and wont flash :(

Nothing in the logs, just said "Flashing ESC2"...

Hello Sir Stylesuxx...
The ESC #1 does not show up anymore... Im trying to reflash using Arduino nano... how ever im using an old mac... and BL Heli Suite only runs on windows ill be going to my friends place for the windows OS... the rest of the ESCs are on BLHeli 16.7 its the most stable firmware that has no desyncs and flies good... tried 16.9 - i have series of desyncs almost always... thank you sir...

16.9 is BLHeli_M quite a lot of people are complaining about de-syncs there, which they do not have on Bluejay.

Looking at your log I am wondering: was your battery full while flashing? Usually this pattern can be seen when the battery dies during the flashing process...

Anyway, good luck recovering with the Arduino!
