It seems i'm having an issue: The red LED of my Crazyradio PA is constantly on. Is that normal?

Flashing outputted the following:

Any ideas?

Hi @johnmatczak I'm having the very same problem. Did you find a way to solve it, after all?

flash the crazyradio firmware using mousejack flash tool, because the firmware changes the idProduct the crazyradio won't detect it. you can find it in prog/usb-flasher

couple notes:

• if you have python3 as /usr/bin/python you might get errors like TypeError: integer argument expected, got float make sure you run it using python2 ie: sudo python2 ../../crazyradio-firmware/usbtools/nrfbootload.py flash bin/dongle.bin
• The LED stays on when you flash mousejack firmware
• If you ctrl+c while running a scan for example, you gonna have usb timeouts if you tried to run another tool. use kill or ctrl+\

Hi guys,

not sure if this thread is still active, however I have the same issue.

I was able to flash the FW successfully, according to term output.

However the led is constantly red. When I try what @iMouath suggested, flashing via "sudo python2 ../../crazyradio-firmware/usbtools/nrfbootload.py flash bin/dongle.bin"
I receive an error like
"Error: cannot found the nRF24LU1 bootloader!"
So is there probably an issue and I need a SPI board to flash the bootloader (like a Teensy 2.0 I guess?)
