Quadrino Nano won't flash

I received the unit three days ago. When I first got it I plugged it into my computer, a Win7 desktop. Everything worked fine after installing the FCT software and the drivers. I was able to make changes and flash them to the quadrino no problem.
I already had a COM1 port on my desktop and the Quadrino showed up as COM3.

Since I did that I plugged the BlueTooth module in one of the serial ports, port 1. I could not see the bluetooth module on my Samsung S7. I read that there is a problem with the baud rate setting in the quadrino so I attempted to change that. I started the FCT program no problem. Everything is good until I get to the Flash screen. I do have the drivers installed, they worked three days ago. The computer no longer sees the quadrino. I tried the auto-detect, tried rebooting, reinstalling the FCT software. COM1 is the only port it sees.

Then I tried it on my Win10 laptop. I did a fresh install of the drivers. Nothing I did sees the quadrino. I removed the bluetooth module and tried it again…same result.

I have probably tried different things about a dozen or more times on both machines.

The lights on the Quadrino are flashing, there is a solid blue led on the starboard side forward and a solid green on the starboard side aft. On the port side forward there is a blue LED flashing fast and aft there is a red led flashing slowly. When I first plug it in there are a couple of LED’s mid port, one green and one yellow that flash for a little bit and then stop.

On neither computer does the Quadrino show up as a USB device, and I don’t see anything in Device Manager on either machine that looks like it “sees” it.

This was so easy three days ago. I did notice that the USB port on the Quadrino is a little loose, a plug pulls out very easily but again, all the lights are on.

God this is a frustrating hobby. Every time I turn around something isn’t working like its supposed to. Thanks for listening!

I took the quadrino out of the case and now the usb port fits tight. Not sure why that happened and why it wasn’t a problem three days ago. But that did it…now I need to see if the BlueTooth works…

The Bluetooth worked perfectly and now that the case is back on the USB plug is not working. Oh well now I know what to do

Hi Arfman,

The Quadrino Nano cannot be flashed by Bluetooth, there are reset feature that are not supported.
About the USB connection, are you using the provided cable as some usb cable will not go deep enough in the case to make a good connection.

Let us know, we will help the best we can.
