Failed firmware upgrade leaves Magician non-functional


#1

I was upgrading my firmware for my dobot when it failed with an unknown error in the middle of writing the firmware, and this left the Dobot without being able to be operated. I immediately suspected corrupt firmware and went and compared the existing hex file and a brand newly downloaded one via checksums and they were different (I had just downloaded the newest firmware before upgrading, so I think somehow Windows corrupted it)

I have been unable to figure out how to actually re-flash the correct firmware on the Dobot as it requires working firmware to actually do that! (Or I cannot find any guides to do it anyhow)

I have the same problem. Even the USB is not registering with the PC.
Is it possible to reprogram the flash from inside the box?


#3

I got the same problem. My dobot magician already dead.
