Hi guys,
After I connected my first Uno R3 to my laptop, none of the older boards or programmers work.
I reloaded the Duemilanove with the standard and the optiboot boatloader but the IDE does not see any of them. It does not see the Uno R3 or the Arduino Mega either.
My IDE does not see the AvrIsp mk2 or the Pololu programmer (AvrIsp v2)
Is there maybe an issue with a windows driver or am I missing something stupid here?
Nick,
As far as I know, yes I did. I have had the Arduino 1.0 running for some time already.
The sad thing is that the older stuff is not working anymore.
error. When I say "does not see" I mean does not communicate. This happens for the programmer as well as the boatloader.
I have been able to get the Uno R3 to program via the bootloader that it comes with but only under Arduino1.0. Arduino-1.0 also does not see any of the AvrIsp programmers
Maybe your comport-numbers are too high.
A quote from the trouble shooting guide:
On Windows, the COM port assigned to the board may be too high. From zeveland:
"One little note if you aren't able to export and your USB board is trying to use a high COM port number: try changing the FTDI chip's COM port assignment to a lower one.
"I had a bunch of virtual COM ports set up for Bluetooth so the board was set to use COM17. The IDE wasn't able to find the board so I deleted the other virtual ports in Control Panel (on XP) and moved the FTDI's assignment down to COM2. Make sure to set Arduino to use the new port and good luck."
On the Mac, if you have an old version of the FTDI drivers, you may need to remove them and reinstall the latest version. See this forum thread for directions (thanks to gck).
Erni,
It wasn't a problem before. I used Com31 for the Arduino from the start. It is only after the Uno R3 installation that things are buggered. I strongly suspect the windows driver.
