I've posted this same problem on this forum two or three times with no replies, not-a-one. Can someone PLEASE help. I've removed previous posts due to lack of interest. :-[
Why am I, apparently, the only person in the whole world that gets that message when try to use arduino-0012. No matter what I've tried I get the same result - avrdude: can't find programmer id "null". Then a list of all accepted programmers.
My board assembly and atmega168 has an arduino bootloader, supposedly, no programmer is involved.
I can't find anyplace where this problem is listed . Not in the troubleshooting guide, not on this forum, not in AVR freeks.
I've tried everything that I can find to try to get past this message, but that's all I ever get. I even disconnected board and all from the PC so that nothing was connected to either the serial port (com 1) or to the parallel port, then tried to operate arduino-0012 and I still get the same result - avrdude: can't find programmer id "null" I've downloaded, redownloaded, deleted, redownloaded arduino-0012 and nothing changes. It appears that I won't be able to use arduino for some reason. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening. Can somebody please, PLEASE help, OR I'll have to turn the whole thing over to WinAVR or Bascom-AVR and go on through life being greatly dissappointed with arduino.

- The basic Arduino example. Turns on an LED on for one second,
- then off for one second, and so on... We use pin 13 because,
- depending on your Arduino board, it has either a built-in LED
- or a built-in resistor so that you need only an LED.

*/int ledPin = 13; // LED connected to digital pin 13
void setup() // run once, when the sketch starts
{
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output
}void loop() // run over and over again
{
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // sets the LED on
delay(1000); // waits for a second
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // sets the LED off
delay(1000); // waits for a second
}
What I have is an RBBB (really bare bones board)and a P4b TTL to RS232/serial converter(both from Wulfden.org, Modern Device.com). The RBBB has an Atmega168 that has an Arduino bootloader. After initial problems with it, I sent it to the seller who checked it out and said it was OK, then sent it back.
If help is on the way, I'll greatly appreciate it.
