Hmm. Ok, so I’m glad we’re making progress (sort of? 
) Just making sure; the latest firmware is 2.5. That has EV3 code in it and some updates. (See here). The specific and important file for flashing is “BrickPiFW_2.5.hex”; just want to make sure in all the file shuffling that we used that file for sure; and not an older version.
My setup:
I created new directory and cloned your repo. I entered newClone\BrickPi\Firmware_BrickPi\Firmware_2.5 and there is no arduino script.
Then I opened first script:
Look on 5th and 39th line. Is that ok?
Same stuff is in “newClone\BrickPi\Firmware_BrickPi\Updating_the_Firmware\Firmware_Loading_Package_2013.07.05\BrickPiFW_UC1 - Arduino Script.bat”
And guess I need to change “avrispmkII” to arduino’s “avrisp”.
So I modified scripts (I only changed the begging of lines, all right from -U stayed as it was):
At this point I noticed that the file you mentioned is mentioned in scripts and compressed comunications is not in the folder with scripts.
If I run the scripts now it will end just like it ended in my previous post. I think its because, later I removed checking for files and it went on and ‘used’ not existing compressed comms and that is why it has failed. I think you might have forgotten to change scripts after copying it from other directory.
Should I change compressed comms to that file you mentioned? Well I’ll go ahead and do that.
EDIT: INSTALLING:
During installation orange led on arduino is blinking. Maybe that will indicate something to you.
Anyway here are outputs:
out1-13.12.2016.txt (5.5 KB)
out2-13.12.2016.txt (5.5 KB)
I attached motor to port A and gyro sensor (EV3) to port s4.
pi@dex:~/Desktop/BrickPi_Python/Sensor_Examples $ sudo python EV3-Firmware_Check.py
Trying to communicate with firmware.
PASS: Serial line setup.
Setup sensors returns: 0
Checking Firmware Version of BrickPi.
Firmware version is: 2
GREAT! Firmware is up to date!
You should be able to run EV3 sensors!
HURRAY!
FW v is 2 but as long as gyro works I’m happy !
HUGE THANK YOU GUYS ! You are the best !
EDIT 2 :
GYRO WORKS! - it used to give me 0 or 1043 but now when i move it it gives me more data. Negative and positive. That’s nice ;D
Hurray! So glad this is working!! Great work, and thanks for your patience!
As a note: those green boards are pretty old, I’m amazed you have one. That would have been our very very very first batch of BrickPi from way back in the day!
