By the way - the port is set to 19200 baud in control panel.

[Reply #31 on:]

This is definitely it!  I intercepted the command being generated and updated the baud rate in there from 9600 to 19200, see below, and IT WORKED!!!  So how to i make the IDE use a baud rate of 19200 when generating these command lines?

Code:

C:\arduino-0022\hardware/tools/avr/bin/avrdude -CC:\arduino-0022\hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf -v -v -v -v -patmega328p -cstk500v1 -P\\.\COM5 -b19200 -Uflash:w:C:\Users\Sean\AppData\Local\Temp\build3447786868117704274.tmp\Blink.cpp.hex:i

My boards.txt is below and contains the 19200 baud.

Code:

atmega328Pbb0.name=ATmega328P @ 1 MHz  (external oscillator; BOD level1)

atmega328Pbb0.upload.using=arduino:arduinoisp
atmega328Pbb0.upload.maximum_size=32768

Coding - with these change to boards.txt i get error "avrdude: Can't find programmer id "arduino".

i have uploaded ArduinoISP to my programmer board and have it hooked up to the target on a breadboard.

My problem is just now that the Arduino environment seems to be setting the avrdude -b parameter to 9600 when it should be 19200 and i cant see why.  when i manually invoke avrdude and use -b 19200 it works.

thanks again for your help on this mate.

Remove this line from your boards.txt file...

atmega328Pbb0.upload.using=arduino:arduinoisp

[Reply #35 on:]

Coding - i dont have that line in there - just the lines in your posting below.  i guess its the upload.protocol it doesnt like ?

Boards.txt below.  Remember my only problem now is just the baud rate it is insisting on using...

Thanks...

Guys any idea here?  All seems correct, and Coding Badly has this working, but no joy for me.  I've been tearing my hair out for a month now, and certainly know so much more about boards.txt etc etc, but fail with the baud rate that it insists on using, despite me telling it otherwise. Arghhhh!

Thanks for any steers...

[Reply #37 on:]

I can't be sure but you could try to back up your boards.txt and actually remove the lines you have commented out.

[Reply #38 on:]

If everything else is correct (e.g. the entry in boards.txt) the baud rate is defined in the programmers.txt file...

arduinoisp.name=Arduino as ISP
arduinoisp.communication=serial
arduinoisp.protocol=stk500v1
arduinoisp.speed=19200
