Arbotix-M Programmer not responding

Using Arduino IDE 1.x

Hi all,

I'm new to using arduino products, and have been using an Arbotix-m controller to control some dynamixel motors. I was able to upload code normally but suddenly I have been getting the following error:

Arduino: 1.6.10 (Windows 10), Board: "ArbotiX Std"

avrdude done. Thank you.

Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.

Things I have tried to do to fix this:

  1. Restart arduino IDE
  2. Reset the arbotix
  3. Uninstall and reinstall arduino IDE
  4. uninstall and reinstall all device drivers
  5. restarting my computer
  6. different code to upload

None of the above worked. Any ideas on what I can try to fix the problem?

Are you sure COM1 is the Arbotix? Check device manager which additional com-port shows when you connect the board.

Trossen / arbotix has their own forum that might be another place to ask.

Yeah I'm sure, but thanks Ill ask on the arbotix board
