ArduinoBT uploading problem

system · February 7, 2008, 1:26pm

Hi

I've just got a new ArduinoBT and having trouble uploading to it.
When powered on I can pair with it and the bluetooth over serial is installed and
its assigned comport 26. So that all seems fine.

I go into the IDE and select ArduinoBT as the board and comport 26 but when I try to upload i get

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51

I've also gone into the port settings and set the port to 115200 as well.

The arduino itself has the 3v3 light on and a LED on 13 that blinks fairly quick in what seems to be server short blips and then very tiny pause and then more blips.

Am I doing something wrong or need to change the settings someway?

I've also tried lowering the com port number to no avail

Solved

I Press the reset button before pressing the upload to I/O board on the IDE. Now it works

Heh,
I've got exactly the same problem but when I press the reset button first the bluetooth either disconnects or it just comes up with the same error message!?
Any ideas?
Heeeellllleleleleleppppppp

Same problem here - it seems the reset button causes the BT link the to disconnect at the point when the IDE wants to start uploading - bit controversial.

IDE then says: avrdude: ser_drain(): read error: The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request.

Solutions much appreciated!

I'm using toshiba bluetooth manager and am pretty sure that no management software/firewall is in the way.

BT's don't work with Bluesoli, so maybe try without the toshiba BTM

Thanks John

So what would you suggest me to use instead?

I.e. does windows have a built-in bluetooth manager?

Thanks!

I'm experiencing a similar problem...
When I push the upload button the arduino environment (0010 version) simply stop answering, and after a long time it comes back to life (sometimes it just don't come back and I have to finish the task) with that not in synk message (not in the BT computer now... later I'll put the exact error)

Another thing I noticed is that when I click the upload button the bluetooth connection apeears to be unstable.

I'm not sure, but I think that the BT computer is also using the TOSHIBA BT manager... How can I pair the ARDUINOBT without using that manager?

Sorry for the incomplete information, but maybe someone have experienced a similar problem and could help me.

ARDUINOBT - V06
WINDOWS XP

ps.: Is it normal that the arduino environment stacks a little when entering the tools menu?
ps.2: I tried different reset times... =(

Brennan (& others)
I have asked the guys at Arduino to come up with a reasonable solution.
They are working on it - hopefully have a good result soon.

Hey surfbuddy, how do u connect your arduinoBT?

Now I found out that when the program (I've tried ARDUINO 0010 and 0009) freezes it's because the program cannot find the arduino. (I tried uploading without pairing)

And when I pair it (I'm still pairing with the TOSHIBA BT manager, since I couldn't find another way), it comes with the following problem, which I guess it is TOSHIBA BT manager fault:

(Arduino 0010 and 0009)
