Ok, im trying to run the flip software to upload the firmware and i can't get it to work.
I'm using windows now, rebooted, and replugged the arduino uno shorting the 4-5 pins on the 8u2. The device once again shows up as a usb device.
When i open the flip software, it asks me to pick the model of the chip, which i do, and then asks for the communication. At this point i pick usb (the only non-grayed option) and it prompts me with the window on the first pic. When i click Open, it tells me "Could not open USB device".
I tried loading the hex file, and here too i ran into a problem. i copy/pasted it on Notepad++ and saved it as UNO-dfu-8u2.hex, but when i try to load it on the flip it tells me the address is out of range :S
how does this work? :~
i had the wrong hex file. Hex file loads up correctly, still no communication
