Hi all,
I've been lurking around for a bit and have finally taken the plunge and built a breadboard version with the ATMEGA 328p. It has the Arduino bootloader on it.
Once it is turned on, the led I attached to pin 13 blinks. Hooray ! I have wired up a FTDI Basic Breakout board to program a sketch and once I press the upload button, the following happens:
-The Sketch is successfully compiled.
-The TX & RX on the Breakout board flash a few times.
-The following error is displayed:
Binary sketch size: 1010 bytes (of a 30720 byte maximum)
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): can't communicate with device: resp=0x90
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x94
I am using Com4 set at 9600,8,N,1,N
All looks like it is wired properly, I am selecting the right board (selecting the 328 chip) but still the error.
One thing that may affect this is that instead of using a 16 MHz crystal, I am using a 16.670 MHz crystal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks !
