Ground Station: "No Elev8-FC connected"

We have a HoverflyOpen board we got with the Elev8 package here and were hoping we could use Ground Station with it. When we fire it up, we always just see a message that there is no FC connected.

Specifically, it looks like the FTDI device type of our board is "FT_DEVICE_232R" and Ground Station is looking for "FT_DEVICE_X_SERIES".

Is our board incompatible? Is there a change we can make to Ground Station to make it work with this board?

Thanks in advance!

    Sorry, but that's not going to work. Totally different hardware from a different company, different devices on the board (and far fewer of them).

    HoverFly has their own PC-side software that you use to set up their board and adjust firmware settings. A search on here should find it relatively easily (I'd post it, but it's hard to search on mobile).

    Thanks Jason, this is what I suspected. The confirmation is much appreciated.
