Hi all, I’ve been trying to flash the firmware onto my photon for the firt time but i’ve been having some issues… It is a stand alone Photon if that matters, BrewPi has never been loaded on it before. Everything looks like it’s going well until it tries to open a serial port at the end. I get “Warning: Cannot receive version number from controller. Your controller is either not programmed yet or running a very old version of BrewPi. It will be reset to defaults.
Resetting EEPROM to default settings”
I tried a lot of different things after looking at many posts and thought I may have screwed things up worse in the process. To be sure, I reformatted my SD card and started with a fresh install of Raspbian. I updated the RPi, installed BrewPi-tools and started fresh but still no luck…
Here is the log:
