hello arduinos: I am struggling with my new board. it worked once but now I can't get it work anymore. I can't upload no sketch and following message occurs:
Binary sketch size: 5472 bytes (of a 7168 byte maximum)
[VP 1] Device is not responding correctly.
I connected a led to pin 13 for testing. I pressed the reset button. the led started flickering and turns off and after a few seconds on.
I took the blinking led tutorial code for testing and tried to upload it but it doesn't work. I changed the baud rate to 19200 in the device manager, in the arduino ide and in the preference file but it still doesn't work.
the same problem as me! i burned some atmega8 with bootloader. upload with arduino004 works extactly one time. after successful upload the programmer everytime:
actually i found the problem and i guess its a performance issue. o.k. i´m running P4 2,4ghz 1GB ram on winXP but i guess my java-app is quite slow, anyway. my solution was to hold the reset button. then click on "export to board" and waiting 2-3sec. till i release the reset button.
now, everything works fine?! has anyone a possible explanation for this bug?!
Basically, you're right: this happens when it takes too long for the upload to begin. One problem is that the upload button recompiles your sketch each time you press it, which takes a while, so the bootloader times out. I'll try to clarify this in the FAQ.
I just posted this in another thread, but to ritzdank - if you're using a usb to serial converter, try unplugging it and plugging it back in before EVERY upload. I had the exact same problem, ONE time uploads.
