Not working after official update

After updating my Alvik from alvikupdate.arduino.cc, I noticed my Alvik doesn't work any more. The power LED is turned on, only when the usb cable is connected to ESP32. The same happened with a second Alvik.

Have you googled and searched relevant github? Do you have any actual data other than 'doesn't work any more'

Doesn't work means that if it is uplugged, i turn the power on and nothing is working. Not even the power LED light is on. Before the update worked seamlessly. Similar issues have been reported in here but nothing similar that happened after an update.

Have you checked the batteries? Rebooted the controller

Yes. It worked just before the update. After that no.

I would back out the update. What does github say, any issues posted with these symptoms?

I just checked and there are NO issues (amazing!!!) but about a month ago a hotfix was issued. Make sure you have that and apply it.

Can you tell me more about this hotfix; Where i can find it;

Github, Alvik

Can't find anything. Sorry i guess i'm a kind of rookie. Can you be more specific please;

Go to github https://github.com then type Alvik in the search box


Now click the link

And here it is

I have no idea how to use that hotfix, best is to google arduino hot fix howto apply or similar

Thanks a lot. I have been there but i wasn't sure. I will check it out.

Unfortunately not working...

Probably best to raise an issue then. Log into github and when you get to the REPO page click the issues button and describe what is happening.
