Can't update firmware on PicoW

[Simon Walters]

Downloaded and installed latest pilot and tried to update firmware but I always end up with this

If I reinstall previous version - all works fine

This is on Windows 11

Hi Simon,

Just checked it out on WIN11 with Pilot, and it works OK for me.

Also OK with STD release:

Also checked the VERY LATEST Pilot release:

[cid:a75f0c2b-deef-4d0b-8e85-84f32a8fcfee]

Works OK.

For some reason, I’m having difficulty seeing the images your posting so that doesn’t help things :(

When I say latest pilot, I mean the one released 19-Feb-2024 23:10 that should contain VM224

Although I can’t see your images any more :( I don’t remember seeing 224 in them (but it may just be my memory)

Thanks for letting me know. There was an issue on the server build of the standalone apps last night. I believe the webapp should be okay.

I don't think there were any changes that impacted the PicoW so you are not missing anything by using the previous pilot release. :-)

I'm working on the issue with the stand-alone apps.

Hi John

JFI just tried

‌

microBlocks setup.exe and still can’t update my firmware to 224

John is still working on the issue with the stand-alone apps.

I saw this on discord so I thought it might have been fixed

I thought it was fixed but I couldn't test the Windows app so I guess it wasn't. The server is running out of space during the build process. Will be upgrading the server tonight and will do another pilot release after that.

Meanwhile, you can download the Pico-W firmware from:

https://microblocks.fun/downloads/pilot/vm/vm_pico_w.uf2

and install it by drag-and-drop.

Installing by drag and drop worked :)

Yay!
