I have a blackbox v1.3 and can't figure out how to slave X over Y2 port. I found documentation for the BB4x, but nothing for the x32. Is it configurable, or am I stuck only slaving Y axis? Thanks!
Thanks Peter! Followed that same post and it worked. Unfortunately CONTROL on Mac still cannot flash the ESP. I've made sure Python is installed, aliased python3 to python, created env, and many many other things :/ Fortunately downloading esptool.py did allow me to flash the firmware generated over http://svn.io-engineering.com:8080/?driver=ESP32&board=BlackBox X32
These steps might help other Mac users that need to update their firmware. We need several pieces of software. Fortunately, installing them is staightforward on a Mac's Terminal. We also need to create the firmware, bootloader and partitions bin files. The are all created in a single step using the website linked by Peter. Set up the options needed and click the "Generate and download firmware" You will download a zipped file. Double click it to extract the files we need. They will be ina folder named firmware in your Downloads folder. Lets begin: 1. Open Terminal, and paste the following comands (the ones in bold), one at a time. 2. Install Homebrew – a software package manager (think of it like a command line app store) – with this command /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" 3.Install pyenv brew install pyenv 4. Install a recent python (3.10) and set it up as the global version, because Macs can have multiples versions simultaneously pyenv install 3.10.0 pyenv global 3.10.0 pyenv version 5. Open a new terminal window and install esptool pip install esptool Once its all done, you are now ready to upload the new firmware.bin, partition.bin and bootloader.bin files onto he BlackBox. The following command will take care of it, but there's still one thing to consider: You'll need to find the device name of your BB x32. In your terminal window type "cd /dev/tty.usb" without the quotes, and then press Tab (once or two times) It will show you the correct name for your device. Take note and press Ctrl+C to escape the command. Finally replace below with the corresponding devce Id for your controller. Then you can run this whole command, wait a minute and be ready! esptool.py -p /dev/tty.usbserial-AQ02S31F -b 460800 --before default_reset --after hard_reset --chip esp32 write_flash --flash_mode dio --flash_size detect --flash_freq 40m 0x1000 ~/Downloads/firmware/bootloader.bin 0x8000 ~/Downloads/firmware/partitions.bin 0x10000 ~/Downloads/firmware/firmware.bin
