<div dir="ltr">Hey Gang,</div><div dir="ltr">have any of you updated the firmware on the Proton Pathfinder, using the STM32 program software? In any case, it requires that the Pathfinder be in DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) mode, which is done by putting a paper clip on the DFU mode button. <br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">Programing the Pathfinder with the STM32, while in DFU mode, worked great, however, it stays stuck in the mode, thus I'm not able to use the Mission Planner now. Of course I've tried power cycling and holding the button down, but to no change. <br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">I could not find anything on this issue via Protons Facebook page, or anywhere else.
