Hi everyone at my school i have made a FreeDuino V1.16 board it i think.. well it says on the board i have now downloaded and installed the Arduino 0011 drivers and im going to code it using the Arduino 0011 Alpha program but when i start it up i get this error

In file included from C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Desktop\arduino-0011\hardware\cores\arduino/WProgram.h:6,
from Stepper.cpp:48:
c:/documents and settings/Admin/desktop/arduino-0011/hardware/tools/avr/bin/../avr/include/avr/signal.h:36:2: warning: #warning "This header file is obsolete. Use <avr/interrupt.h>."

What does that mean :S?

Those look like informational warnings compiling the distribution libraries. If you can compile and run any of the example sketches you have nothing to worry about and those warnings won't appear again.

Oh okay well thanks :slight_smile: they dissapered but now i have another problem :S my teacher told me to code my print with this

int ledPin = 13;

void setup()
{
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
delay(1000);
}

Which should make the LED's blink.
i choose Sketch -> Verify/Compile and i get the message - Done Compiling and - Binary sketch size: 1096 bytes (of a 14336 byte maximum)

Then i go to File - Upload to I/O Board and click it and then i get the message

Uploading to I/O board but under that this message comes up

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51

what does that mean?

There is a short time frame (10 seconds or so) in which you can upload a sketch to the Arduino, after you press the Reset button on the board.

My advice is to start the upload in the software (Shortfcut:Ctrl+U), then press the little black button on the board. You should see the LED flicker a few times, then the Tx and Rx LEDs will flicker, indicating that your computer and the Arduino board are communicating. After that, your sketch (or program) will start.
