Parrot Minidrone - Firmware update - HW Setup Error

Hello all,

I'd like to update the Firmware on the Rolling Spider Parrot Minidrone. I'm following these steps:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/supportpkg/parrot_ug/firmware-update.html

In the step 6 the drone is successfully recognized. But when I click on Next - error occurs after few seconds:

So may I ask you, does anybody experienced this behavior and does anybody know how to proceed? Because it does not seem that Firmware is updated.

Thank you

It sounds like you are encountering an issue during the firmware update process for your Rolling Spider Parrot Minidrone.

From the error message, it can be gathered that the “minidrone not detected” part indicates that the Parrot Minidrone was not successfully connected to the system either using the Built-in Bluetooth Module or a Generic Bluetooth Dongle.

I recommend you retry the connection using the steps entailed on this documentation page: https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2023b/supportpkg/parrot/ug/connect-to-hardware-over-bluetooth-windows-drivers.html

You may also refer to these pages to troubleshoot the connection settings:

I hope following the guides will help you successfully update the firmware on your drone.

Hello,

thank you very much for your reply. It realy seems that there is any kind of a bluetooth connection issue. I'm able to connect drone via the bluetooth but I'm not able to add it inthe the Personal Area Network.

So I'm going to continue with the debugging of the bluetooth connection

Thank you, have a nice day!
