Dear all
I’m a new learner for ODrive ,May I ask some questions?
question 1:
I have downloaded the ODrive firmware v0.5.6 into the target board, but how to set up the connection between the board and ODrivetool? what i mean is which version ODrivetool i should use for ODrive firmware V0.5.6 ? or how to install the corresponding version ODrivetool ? and after installation, what command i should type on the screen to set up the connection?
question 2:
I have tried another test, i downloaded the ODrive firmware v0.5.1 into the target board,but i couldn’t set up connection with ODrivetool too. below is the alert message
question 3:
I downloaded the ODrive -fw-v0.3.6 _keil version into the target board, and connected to PC with a mini usb cable, but I hardly found it on the Device Manager.
so would you please give me some advice on these issues?
Thanks a lot
what i mean is which version ODrivetool i should use for ODrive firmware V0.5.6 ?
You should use the latest ODrivetool.
and after installation, what command i should type on the screen to set up the connection?
It should automatically connect over USB when you run odrivetool, and USB + DC power to the ODrive is connected.

Can you post the whole error message? There’s not enough information here to help with debugging.

v0.3.6 is very very old – that’s the firmware version, not the board version. I’d recommend using v0.5.6, which you can download here: ODrive Releases
Dear Solomondg
First thanks for you reply very much, after the latest ODrivetool was installed, now the target board can be connected with ODrivetool.
thanks a lot again
i noticed that the top left corner menu is imcomplete The menu selection of “WIZARD” and “tunning” is missing ,if i should solder all components on PCB then power up it
That’s an old prototype GUI we made for ODrive v3.6 – it’s not under active development, and hasn’t been in a while. The official web GUI is only compatible with the newer ODrive products (S1/Pro/Micro), I’d recommend just using ODrivetool for v3.6.
