CoDrone Pro No Remote Control Sync, No Communication with Mac

This may also be of some use - When attempting to update firmware I receive the following after trying both WiFi and USB connections:

@johnnycurry Sorry for catching up with this late. Looks like there's an error in the code.
Try this code first, then open the serial monitor to grab your address. It will print out the drone address

#include <CoDrone.h>

void setup() {
  CoDrone.begin(115200);
  CoDrone.PrintDroneAddress();
}

Then you can run pair() with the drone address:

#include<CoDrone.h>

void setup(){
  CoDrone.begin(115200);

  byte droneAddress[6] = {0xEC, 0x3F, 0xE5, 0xC2, 0xB5, 0xD0};
  //This will be replaced with your CoDrone's unique address
  CoDrone.pair(droneAddress);
}

void loop() {
}

This will have your remote connect to a specific CoDrone's address. Give it a try, and let me know if it helps.

[robolink_wes]

@johnnycurry Yes, I talked to him about it. He's running summer camps now and had only an hour and a half break for lunch in between, so I've asked @robolink_whoseop to help take a look today.

[johnnycurry]

Wondering if @robolink_arnold was able to take a look at my situation. Thank you in advance for your response.

[johnnycurry]

Certainly. The only reason I'm attempting to load this code is in effort to make the drone connect to the remote control (gathered code after reading/researching). I watch videos and they all make it look so easy - turn on the remote on, turn the drone on, wait, and it's paired. Not so much on this one:

#include <CoDrone.h>

void setup() {
  CoDrone.begin(115200);
  CoDrone.PrintDroneAddress();
#include<CoDrone.h>

  void setup()
  CoDrone.begin(115200);

  byte droneAddress[6] = {0xEC, 0x3F, 0xE5, 0xC2, 0xB5, 0xD0};
  //This will be replaced with your CoDrone's unique address
  CoDrone.pair(droneAddress);
}

void loop() {
}

Thank you for your help. JC

[robolink_wes]

We will definitely help you to get up and running before then. @robolink_arnold is finishing up a class now, and I've pinged him to get in touch with you to see if he can help. We can reach out to you via e-mail and do a video call if need be.

Also, to help the process, can you paste the actual code you're trying to upload? Thanks!

[johnnycurry]

Thank you. I am the coordinator to a GenCyber student camp starting Monday and we have 40 of the drones for students. I need this to connect/sync to the remote.

[robolink_wes]

Hmm, I'll have @robolink_arnold take a look to see if he can help you further, but it seems like at least the initial issue was resolved of not finding the board.

[johnnycurry]

Thank you Wes for replying. After plugging-in USB and changing the set to "Rocket-SmartInventor-mega32_v2, then verifying I received this message: Arduino: 1.8.5 (Mac OS X), Board: "Rokit-SmartInventor-mega32_v2"

What do you think?

[robolink_wes]

@johnnycurry Hmm, it looks like you might not have the board manager set, if you're getting that first message about "Arduino/Genuino Uno". Can you go to Tools > Board: and then make sure to set your board to "Rokit-SmartInventor-mega32_v2"? The message suggests you may have your board set to "Arduino/Genuino Uno". It should be near the bottom of the sub-menu list of boards.

If "Rokit-SmartInventor-mega32_v2" isn't an option, you may need to install the boards manager, which you can do by following step #2 of this lesson about installing the hardware files.

Let me know if this helps! If not, we can troubleshoot further.
