Flight Controllers Naze32 communication lost.

[Icourier19]

Hi, I clicked on something I should not have, and have completely wiped my Naze32. I have cleanflight and can't get the board to communicate to flash the firmware.
Any ideas or an idiots walk through please.

Can I ask what it was that you clicked on?

Everything was working fine, all connected and responding in CF, so I chose to upgrade to the latest firmware for the naze32. Selected the latest (stable) version, up loaded online, clicked on Flash Firmware, it was at that point it all wiped and lost communication and now I have nothing.

Sounds like a bad firmware file to me.

The only way to flash it if it is in fact bricked is with an FTDI adapter into the UART port. I have not done this yet but will in the near future. If you do a search for naze32 recovery ftdi it should come up with some ways to fix the issue. Sure hope it's not completely bricked.

You can also bridge the boot pins and follow the instructions on screen for "Recovery / Lost Communication" I have successfully done it once, I did not solder in pins just bridged it with a bent paper staple.
