sci daq module firmware update failed

Hello,

 

I followed the instructions for the firmware update in the sci daq module wiki step by step, but the update doesn't start.

 

After dragging the .uf2 file on the RPI-RP2 drive, nothing happens. The screen stays black.
 

After a while I restarted the sci daq and checked the version number: It is still V1.0.1 and not V1.0.3

 

Is the boot loader malfunctioning? 

Appreciate your support.

Under normal circumstances, after copying the uf2 file to the RPI-RP2 drive, the RPI-RP2 drive will close directly, and then a 15.8M "U drive" will pop up. Make sure the firmware is downloaded from this link https://github.com/DFRobot/DFRobot_RP2040_SCI/tree/master/resources/firmware. If you are still having problems, you can record a video and send it to [email protected]. They will fix the problem for you!

I have never had the same problem as you.What is your computer system? Are you able to upload the firmware with Windows 10/11?

I thought maybe my sci dac module was faulty because it would not update the firmware and so I bought another one.

 

But the new one showed the same inability to update.

 

DFROBOT, would you please comment on that.
