I have two boards with issues.
Using El Capitan + Arduino IDE 1.6.6 10/14/15 build
- Chinese clone.
Following https://www.kiwi-electronics.eu/blog?journal_blog_post_id=7 solves the serial port driver load issue.
When uploading a sketch I get avrdude stk500v2_getsync() errors.
Is this due to a lack of a boot loader on the board?
I tried ISP with a redboard to the clone and this fails.
Followed the hookup in this link http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=11635
Programmer: Arduino as ISP
Tools->Burn Bootloader
Result:
“avrdude: Yikes! Invalid device signature.
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.”
Believe my connection are the same as in the link. I do not have a 10uF Cap between the reset and ground like some links indicate.
Can I update the boot loader with just a mac and the clone board?
- Official Arduino Mega 2560 board
Not detected. What driver should this use? FTDI driver?
I have sparkfun Uno compatible board - I install the FTDI driver and it works, but the official Arduino Mega 2560 fails.
Any advice appreciated. Please let me know what info I can provide to help troubleshoot this.
