I had installed flip with latest version and ide too. Arduino normally working well but when i try to put it into dfu mode instead it shows as a atmega16u2 device in windows device manager with missing drivers what should i do? the unojoy batch files showing error.. (NOOB)
after connecting the two pins :
Install the dfu drivers.
from where can i get them?.
P.S. : i looked at my boards chip it says its a ATmega328p. is it same as 16u2?
or i need to do something else for that?
The ATMega328p is the main microcontroller, the one your sketch gets uploaded to. It has nothing to do with DFU mode, all it knows is what comes down the serial line.
The 16u2 is used as a serial adapter under normal circumstances; it's the one located near the USB port.
The DFU drivers come from Atmel - It sounds like people normally pull them from Atmel's FLIP tool, which includes them.
I HAVE INSTALLED LATEST VERSION OF FLIP FOLLOWING ALL INSTRUCTIONS STILL ITS SHOWING AS atmel16u2 device with a yellow triangle sign [Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37) ]. is there any other way i can do so?
I am trying to flash Arduino UNO R3 firmware and I have shorted the required pins (I did put the board in DFU mode successfully) but when I connect it to my PC, which is running on windows 7, it does not show any hardware changes.
Device Manager does not even refresh when connected.
Also, Device does no even show up as 'unrecognized' or windows doesn't even search for drivers.
** It works perfectly in Firmware mode.
