      Just got my 2 wipy2 some days ago. Tried to upgrade firmware to latest (0.9.3.b2) and .... failed ;-)

      What i did (i'm under ubuntu 16.04)

      • download and unpack the firmware upgrader
      • connect pin 23 to GND (expansion board)
      • connect expansion board to a usb2 port (usb3 are known to have issue with some devices and this is not related to wipy)
      • use the firmware updater (not using the bash script but bin/updater.py).

      Here are some data:

      • dmesg (see that the usb ftdi is available)
      [lun. nov. 14 09:18:14 2016] usb 1-1.1: new full-speed USB device number 10 using ehci-pci
      [lun. nov. 14 09:18:14 2016] usb 1-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=0403, idProduct=6015
      [lun. nov. 14 09:18:14 2016] usb 1-1.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
      [lun. nov. 14 09:18:14 2016] usb 1-1.1: Product: FT230X Basic UART
      [lun. nov. 14 09:18:14 2016] usb 1-1.1: Manufacturer: FTDI
      [lun. nov. 14 09:18:14 2016] usb 1-1.1: SerialNumber: DQ0092DQ
      [lun. nov. 14 09:18:14 2016] ftdi_sio 1-1.1:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected
      [lun. nov. 14 09:18:14 2016] usb 1-1.1: Detected FT-X
      [lun. nov. 14 09:18:14 2016] usb 1-1.1: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0
      
      • check that device is available in /dev
       ls -la /dev/ttyUSB*
      crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 nov.  14 09:18 /dev/ttyUSB0
      
      • Try to update the firmware and boom !
      /usr/bin/python2.7 bin/updater.py --port=/dev/ttyUSB0 --file=firmware/wipy_0.9.3.b2.bin 
      Namespace(file='firmware/wipy_0.9.3.b2.bin', port='/dev/ttyUSB0')
      Connecting...
      Exception: Failed to connect to ESP32: Timed out waiting for packet header, on line 75
      

      Any hint to help me ?

      Thx

        @dg66, we've seen this happen a few times in the back, and they are related to missing jumpers in the expansion board. Can you please check that all the jumpers in the corner are in position and come back to me?
