Flashing Frsky receivers with LBT FW - WARNING!!!

Post by Paul Joslyn »

WARNING!
Disconnect the receiver from the servos before flashing!!!!!!
I have just bought a new Taranis X9E transmitter and as it came with LBT FW on it and all new receivers have LBT on them, I decided to upgrade my fleet to the new FW.
I did the first one out of a model so I could see what I was doing and it worked fine. Being lazy I didn't disconnect the servos' for the second and have toasted something in the radio!!! :cry:
Investigation shows that a track in a ribbon cable has gone and I am hoping that is all, won't know until I find a replacement.
To appears to work, but can no longer power the external module. I suspect the current draw from the connected servos did the damage...
SO the moral is disconnect servos before flashing FW to receivers!!

It may depend on what servos you have connected. I have done mine with servos connected.
Worth thinking about though.
