@livius
dfu-util is also available for windows http://dfu-util.sourceforge.net/releases/dfu-util-0.9-win64.zip
Should be really similar to use (from command line)
The pysense is recognised by my Windows 10 as Serial USB device.

However, when I plug it in with the button pressed it says unknown device, no driver available.

Hence the update fails

I have tried it before i asked ;-)
But it say unknown vendor for meI have tried also -s
dfu-util.exe -s COM4 -D pysense_0.0.2.dfuBut have not tried much. In the evening i will try more

@livius
Ha sorry I see Windows needs a DFU driver! No problem, libUSBk to the rescue.Try installing the driver package I generated:
[now old, see above]or install libusbK and make your own using the inf-wizard :-)
Once that's done
dfu-util -D pysense_0.0.2.dfuwill work (remember you only have about 7 seconds to run it after releasing the button, so install the driver first)DFU-UTIL has to be >= version 0.8
Tested with PyTrack not sure if the PySense uses the same ID, will try it up later. -
@jmarcelino thanks for the Windows instructions and the driver package!
-
PySense and PyTrack DFU use different USB IDs so I generated two driver packages for Windows using libusbK (I don't know how to make a single one...)
PySense: http://metavurt.net/software/drivers/PySense_DFU.zip
PyTrack: http://metavurt.net/software/drivers/PyTrack_DFU.zipAfter installing the driver you need download dfu-util for Windows from http://dfu-util.sourceforge.net/releases/dfu-util-0.8-binaries/win32-mingw32/ , I recommend the static compiled binary to avoid any library issues, you only need one executable: dfu-util-static.exe
Place the executable and the dfu firmware from Pycom together and get ready to run:
dfu-util-static.exe -D pysense_0.0.2.dfuor
dfu-util-static.exe -D pytrack_0.0.2.dfudepending on your firmware and boardThen connect the board with the button pressed down, release the button after one second and run the command above - remember you only have 7 seconds to do so!
The process will look like this

@jobbyworld
If you update to dfu-util version 0.8 or later it should pick up the correct ids from the file to filter on -
@jmarcelino thanks for the instructions!
@daniel where can we find examples and libraries?

@livius after it hangs, does it revive by resetting the WiPy 2, or do you have to power cycle the pysense?
-
@daniel
it revive by pressing reset button on Wipy2
and back hangUPDATE
pytrack is ok only pysense is affected -

@livius
Does the Pysense after update appear as a USB serial device using the usbser driver?
-
@jmarcelino said in Pytrack and Pysense firmware release 0.0.2:
Not sure how many checks the DFU stuff uses (would think it was reliable since it's a USB.org standard) but maybe try flashing it again?
I have tried before 5 times before written here
also with different cable on different USB port - no difference
and with really short cable (used for near everythin programing)
e.g. white cable below

Does the Pysense after update appear as a USB serial device using the usbser driver?
yes

-
@livius
Sorry should have figured you'd have done that already :-)Not sure what it can be, but if pressing reset works I guess it's the WiPy crashing and not the Pysense shutting it off. Sounds like that was the question Daniel had.

for us we can assume this always ;-)

@livius @jmarcelino In my case I was obtaining the same error:
dfu-util(-static).exe -D pytrack_0.0.2.dfu
Cannot open DFU device 04d8:f014
No DFU capable USB device availableHowever, running the same with this option finally flashed the Pytrack!
dfu-util-static.exe --device 04d8:f014 -D pytrack_0.0.2.dfu
Hope that this can help to whom have the same problem!
Edit: I should add that before running that command I installed the driver packages which provided @jmarcelino and it didnt work after several attempts.

Hello, I followed every steps, both on windows or mac and I can't upgrade my pysense...
So, to be clear, I'll only speak about the mac part.
I installed dfu-util with brew, so I've the latest version (0.9).
If I try to upload the firmware without specifying the device ID, I get :
"dfu-util: No DFU capable USB device available"When I use dfu-util -l to see dfu capable devices plugged in my mac, I see two devices :
"Found Runtime: [05ac:8290] ver=0146, devnum=6, cfg=1, intf=5, path="20-8", alt=0, name="UNKNOWN", serial="UNKNOWN"
Found Runtime: [1209:2002] ver=0001, devnum=14, cfg=1, intf=0, path="20-5", alt=0, name="UNKNOWN", serial="UNKNOWN""The second one is pysense since it disappears when I unplug it.
So I tried to force the device with "dfu-util --device 1209:2002 -D pysense_0.0.2.dfu" and this is what I get :

@titi974 Wel, if you are in Windows and you press the push buttom while you plug in, and then you maintein your finger one second more, you could see when you run the first command Cannot open device (id) DFU or something like that. By the way, if you run it correctly, you can heard the sound when a device is pluged in, and 7 seconds laters the sound that something has pluged out(despite that maybe it's still pluged in)
If that doesnt work, you have to repeat the process sometimes. (plug in while pressing the buttom and running the first command)To me it didnt work the first attempts but I could obtain an output different than "dfu-util: No DFU capable USB device available"
-
@Pajarraco so, if you have read the entire thing, I've said that my problem is not that it's not recognised, it's that the IDs do not match...
And, on windows I get the exact same results as I've had on mac (see my first answer to understand the thing about device IDs that do not match). And yes I'm doing the procedure that you described.
I've been trying to make this work with my colleague since this morning so I think we've tried every possible way to launch it ahah and on different pcs and macs too.
