WTD loan of parrot ck3100 update cable
robocog - 13/11/11 at 10:35 PM

Anyone have a serial or USB firmware update cable I could borrow / hire?

Did an update via bluetooth and it looks like its gone horribly wrong
(and has turned bluetooth off...so cannot re-try flashing it wirelessly and cannot connect phone to it now its invisible)

Ony need the cable for 30 seconds or so to determine if its completely bricked or recoverable

Regards
Rob

If it's the same as the ck3000 one I've got one somewhere. If I can find it i'll send it to you.

I got one i think, is that the colour screen one or the little black one with the knob in the middle?

Its the one with a blue screen , knob in the middle and buttons each side

Hold on - will try and get a picture

Screen looks like this...



Its brain (which has gone bad) looks like this one with connectors opposite each other on each end

(view from the 8 way lcd connector side)


And from the 4way power and 10 way speaker connector side

From what research I have done...I /think/ the CK3000 cable should be the same
(they seem to retail them as compatible for the CK3000 and CK3100 units so assume the boxes are pretty much the same?)

So if either of you guys find the cable and think it should fit I'd happily PayPal some money for postage/hire costs

I've dug out my cable, it's a serial one.

If you still need it drop me an email keith@koracing.co.uk and I'll post it off to you.
