Make sure that the file name has not been changed or Blink will not recognize the file, for example, "blink_update(1).bin" or "blink_". Why is the Blink firmware not updating when attached to the USB flash drive?
How do I get the latest Blink firmware update?īlink firmware will be released periodically with new features and/or bug fixes. When using the 1000mA port labeled "For Phones", if a device is attempting to draw more power than the regulation of this port, it will result in a safety cut-off of power to the device. The camera system should only use the 2000mA USB port of the V44 labeled "For Tablets" to ensure the battery can supply the power required for the device and maintain the Always On setting. Press the button again for 6 seconds to change modes. If the charge indicator flashes 3 times and then goes dark, you are now in Automatic Off mode. If the charge indicator flashes 3 times and stays lit for a second or two, you are now in Always On mode. To switch modes, hold down the power button for six seconds. If the LED goes dark between every other double press, you are not in Always On mode. When in Always On mode, if you double tap the power button a few times, the LED should continue to stay lit between presses. It is easiest to determine the battery's operating mode when the battery is disconnected and neither charging or supplying power. If using our V15 or V44 battery, make sure to activate the Always On feature. Activating the Always On mode is important to prevent the battery from automatically turning off when insufficient current is being drawn due to the camera being turned off by Blink between triggers to conserve power. However, our V15 and V44 battery packs have two modes of operation, the standard Automatic Off mode and an Always On mode. If the GoPro is powered off for more than a few minutes between triggers, the external battery might automatically shutdown due to inactivity. Most of the batteries on the market, including ours, have an automatic power saving feature which turns off the battery if the battery is not constantly supplying power to a device. Why does the shooting schedule only last for one day when I still have power in the external battery pack? I have Blink powered from an external battery pack. However, if using a HERO3+ or (older HW: F) white Blink, a charged GoPro battery is required for reliable operation and any external power supply should be attached to the GoPro's USB port to keep the GoPro battery charged. Your power supply should be rated for 2Amps at 5Volts when powering the system through Blink.
This allows for the system to recover from a camera crash by pulling power from the camera if Blink determines the camera has become unresponsive. If using a HERO4, the system can be powered through Blink's USB port without the GoPro battery inside the camera. Why has my GoPro battery died when Blink is attached to a power source?īlink's USB port does not charge the GoPro battery. Our website has a link to an SD card speed tester to determine if your SD card has the required speeds for use with the GoPro cameras. You are using an SD card that has a minimum read and write speed of 30MB/s (U3 rating) that is required by the GoPro camera for reliable operation.Your Blink is running the most recent firmware available.Your GoPro is running the most recent firmware available.

The manuals should be read in conjunction with the troubleshooting Q & A below.īefore consulting the troubleshooting guide, make sure that: If using a HERO5 camera, see our BlinkX Troubleshooting Guide. I suspect they are cracking down on unauthorised integrations and I will have to switch off altogether.This document is a supplement to the user manualsfor our Blink time lapse controller product for the HERO3+ and HERO4 cameras. I have also asked what they consider acceptable polling. I have reduced the scan interval to 5 minutes and asked them to reactivate.
