Basicmicro Studio not recognizing roboclaw 2x45A

Post by Arcanemagei »

Hello,
I have a roboclaw 2x45A V5E which i previously used in a project and was working perfectly (i configured it using ion control and it worked). I tried connecting it today and with no success with the new basicmicro studio. I've tried setting the board into bootloader mode, which displayed the board in the program, but when i updated the firmware, the board dissapeared. I have the drivers installed and windows recognizes the board. I've tried this with multiple usb cables and on two different pc's running different windows and to no success. The board is powered by an 8s lipo battery. Is the board dead or am i doing something wrong?

Thank you for letting me know. We will look at this today and release an update if its found to be a problem in the new release. We did make some changes to how MCP device names are parsed so its possible we inadvertently caused a problem with the Roboclaw 2x45A.
