I wonder can anyone help, as I'm stumped trying to get a new Arduino robot to work as expected.
When first powered up, the expected out-of-the-box Hello_User sketch did not run.
I've uploaded several different sketches from the Robot_Control examples, and none seem to be run (IDE version 1.0.6, running on Fedora) despite the IDE reporting that it's "Done Uploading".
I've selected "Arduino Robot Control" under Tools->Board and ticked /dev/ttyS0 under Tools->Serial Port.
Is there any expected visual confirmation on the board side that the upload has succeeded? (e.g. blinking LEDs)
Is there any way of checking directly what sketch the bootloader will try to run? (i.e. what sketch, if any, is currently resident in memory)
Does the fact that the out-of-the-box sketch didn't run suggest that my unit is faulty?

Any ideas on the root cause of the programmer not responding?
