Reflashing Odrives

(If motors do not go into closed loop and Odrive will not connect, reflashing may be a temp fix)

  1. Install STM32CubeProgrammer software here

  2. Download appropriate firmware version here

    (Current version used is 0.5.5, firmware file found here, can check current version on an odrive by following instructions in How-To Check the Firmware Version)

  3. Flip switch on Odrive to DFU (left switch on ODESCS, not labeled),

    and power cycle Odrive.

  4. Follow directions under “Alternative DFU Tool” section of Odrive docs

    here

  • BE SURE TO CONNECT TO USB BEFORE OPENING FILE OR SOFTWARE WILL

    CRASH

  • IF NO PROGRESS IS BEING MADE RESTART SOFTWARE AND IT SHOULD WORK

  • IF YOU GET AN ERROR ABOUT “NO DFU DEVICE FOUND” MAKE SURE THE

    ODRIVE IS IN DFU MODE (SWITCH TO LEFT) AND POWER CYCLED
