Hello,
I think I just broke my Arduino. It was connected to a 12V battery with a 2A fuse.
The fuse was blown (don't really know why as only the arduino is connected to it) and now the arduino doesn't connect to the PC anymore.
The led goes on though.
Is there a way I can check what is damaged? Maybe I can replace it.
Best regards,
ToAd
If you blew a fuse something took too much current. Why only you know. What did you do?
Look at the installations sticky post to check it out but it looks like you blew at least the USB to serial chip.
What error does it give you when you try to upload?
This is the error I get.
I see no led's indicating communication.
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
I just buy a new one...
What'd I do:
I got a stepper motor on a big 36V battery.
I use an arduino to drive the motor driver.
I was playing with a pot to simulate a steering wheel and use the stepper motor for steering a small cart.
I have no idea what went wrong.
Cheers,

You need to show a schematic of how you wired things up.
Did it work for a time and then blow or did it blow straight away?
Probably blew the ftdi chip. I had the same problem with the same error. It was the chip.

Agree! You need to show it, so we can learn from your mistake.
