Cannot upload code because firmware update failed
Hi,
I have just got the Crowbits Inventor Kit delivered and, following the instructions, I connected the MicroBits controller to the PC.
I also installed and started Letscode (V1.1.0 RC3.4), added Crowbits-MicroBit module, and it connected fine.
The driver was recognized automatically, but I installed the driver again from the menu. According to the manual I also selected the Install Firmware menu item because I was connecting it the first time. When it was finished, it said it was successful.
Now, when I try to upload a simple code to display some text onto the controller, I always get the following error message from Letscode exactly as written here: "Install Firmware Fail, Try Again Please!".
In the log output window I see the following messages:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

What could be the reason? Didn't I get the latest software for download?

Thank you for your use, you can download the latest letscode software.After installation, use administrator privileges to open the software, and then use,can solve this problem.
I run mac os, I can install Letscode and the usb drivers but the "firmwire installation" fails everytime.
No way to get around it.
Any one has a lead on this ?
