In a Nutshell

Step-by-Step

Possible Cause 1: Bluetooth adapter Is Used

Solution: If the firmware cannot be upgraded when the device is connected via Bluetooth adapter, please reconnect it through USB and try again.

 

Possible Cause 2: Wrong Device Selection

Solution: Check if you select the wrong device when connected. (mBot2 needs to connect CyberPi).

Possible Cause 3: mBlock 5 Software Bug

Solution: Go to the webpage of mBlock 5 and try to upgrade the firmware again.

Please be aware that the mBlock 5 webpage requires mLink. If it is missing, some functions may be affected.

If the firmware can be upgraded on the website, the mBlock5 software may have bugs. This issue can be solved by installing the up-to-date mBlock 5 software from our official website.
