Zombieverter looses WiFi connection when trying to update

Post by Jacobsmess »

A friend asked me to check their zombieverter with my bench setup, all checked and fine but it is still on version 2.04. when I try to update it by swd UART update, the binary file uploads but the connection drops and it doesn't complete the update.

The latest web ui hides SWD update as it only works with additional connections. And even then it never really worked for me :(

UART may fail but in that case you can power cycle and retry

I was never sure but will the latest web UI work on zombie?

I did try power cycling several times but the behaviour was the same, it says upload complete, but then doesn't do anything and the WiFi connection drops.

Yep, it works and is a good job. I recently made up some ESP8266 wemos adaptors and have tested the new UI on two ZV's. also tried an ESP32 based wifi module but haven't got that version working yet
