Hi,
I received my Spider starter kit on Tuesday and have spent each evening since then trying to make it run a sample program. I started with version 4.2 (although I"m not
sure if I had a consistent collection of software). Attempts to use your updating software consistently failed to detect the hardware - but it was useful in that it
alerted me to the need to set switches on the spider mainboard, which to the best of my knowledge isn’t mentioned anywhere else in the documentation. Using the
instructions at http://www.ghielectronics.com/docs/54/firmware-update-emx I updated the firmware 0 to 4.2.9 and with some guesses at switch settings and having set the
USB name to Gadgeteer tried to deploy a program from VS2010. I never did get it to see the spider. Instead, having seen this post I decided to uninstall everything
and try again, but with version 4.3 and VS2012. After some work and experimenting with switch settings, VS2012 was able to see the device and attempted a deployment.
That failed on a firmware version error, but progress made. So - to update the firmware - I found the update program from your answer earlier in this thread, but
again couldn’t make it see the device. After much messing about I found that the 4.3 deploy tool could find the device - not sure what was the issue, but I suspect
that a restart of the computer was a crucial step - didn’t repeat all my earlier steps, so your updater may have been workable after that?? Anyway, have firmware at
4.2.10, can ping device, have set USB name to Gadgeteer, have switches set to TinyBooter setting and at last VS2012 can see my spider again - ready to attempt
deployment!!! The result was: no version error, but unfortunately no deployment either. The attempt just stops. I’ve copied the VS2012 output window text - see
below. I’ve also included a photograph of my spider screen showing some version info. I’m out of ideas. Help required please.
Cheers
Bill
