Dead roaster. SO sad to be me

[dpiette]

Hey Folks!

Tried to update firmware to the latest Beta this PM and the upload failed.

After that, the control panel would not light up.

I did some investigation, did a “paper clip” reboot, got the three beeps, reconnected the USB, and still no joy. The firmware update would start at 1% then give me a “Roaster not connected” error.

WIndows and see the roaster, Roastime cannot. I tried reinstalling RT, as well as any number of iterations of power on/off, hard reset, reboot my computer, etc etc.

I opened a ticket, but any other ideas of what I could try?

Screen grabs below.

Thanks!

Hello,

I just had a similar issues not to long ago. I had to go back to the older version of roastime. Once I did that it allowed me to upload the firmware correctly. Then went back to the newer version of roastime.

Thanks.

Where did you get the old download? Was that version 2.5.x?

RT 2.5.5-stable missing roasts

Damon you say “There is very little information on that page. Knowing that 2.5.5 is “the latest” doesn’t mean anything because there are several versions labeled 2.5.5.”. The aillio download site will give you options for both a stable version and a beta version. One can decide whether he/she wants to roll the dice and get the latest and (maybe) the greatest, or whether he/she she is more interested in roasting coffee than experimentation. The stable version link is clearly highlighted and lab…

This post I believe has the link for a download.

Legacy RoasTime - aillio

Got it. But if I can download the old, upload the firmware, then upgrade, it should be good, right?

[ryonragan89djlm]

I had to uninstall everything from my pc, then remove the drivers, then install legacy version and update firmware/drivers, then install new version of Roastime

[dpiette]

Got it working. I didn’t have to go that far - just a cold reboot, load 2.5.6 (stable) and then I was able to force the firmware update.

Thank you, thank you. This is a great group.

I have said this before, the Bullet isn’t a toaster. I should have taken more care. Luckily this community knows everything.

Best,

Dan

Hello my V2 is having this problem now and I can’t cold reset it to force the update.

Please download RT4 and try to update the firmware again.
Please check this thread: RoasTime 4 Open Beta and Testing - #48 by prehistoricperk
After installing make sure to close the app and restart it a few times (wait a few min. between each restart) so it gets to update itself.

Sorry I forgot to post here as well I did look at some other threads and redownloaded Roastime which fixed the issue, and I proceeded to roast 3 kilo’s almost and worked perfect!! Thanks for the support
