Flashing Cleanflight to CC3D with Mainport and FTDI

This is a walkthrough for a friend that is building a quad based around a CC3D. If you stumbled upon this video and it helps you to, great! If you have any questions, leave them in the comments. I can usually answer pretty quick.

I am trying to setup CC3D board with Cleanflight. I can't get the board to connect to the program. I am also having a problem flashing the board. When I jump the 2 soldered points, I will get solid BLUE, not the green you are talking about. Tried several times and it's always BLUE. The clean flight will report "No response from the bootloader. I ended up purchasing 2 more boards thinking I have bad boards, but they all act the same. For some reason, I can't get this win 10 to recognize the board. And yes I have tried it on 2 different PC's. I almost want to give up, but something is telling me that the solution is right around the corner. Do I need to set up USB ports first? Have no ideas anymore and exhausted probably 50 YouTube videos trying to figure it out. Most of the videos on youtube are dated 2015, 16, 17.... Is this not popular anymore?

Hey, what about flashing I Nav to cc3d? I was told you can do this through Libre pilot. But I can't find any videos of people who speak English. Is it possible to do it through I Nav config without using an FTDI, or Arduino nano? I have a bunch of older non Revo cc3d boards I would like to put I NAV on for RTH pos Hold, adding a compas, barometer, and gps mind you. I'm looking for a simple solution.

Don't get me wrong, I know how to use an FTDI just looking for a good solution Thnx

hi, do you know if it is possible to do with cc3d atom?

[CorradoCorradini]

hi @KelvinFPV I also found inav which has an fw for cc3d,
it is no longer updated but still allows you to download it, in the same way that you indicated.
maybe for fixed wing is better.
