I got this Itty Bitty City set and tinkered with the examples, but I just wanted to be creative.
So I started small and tried to make a blinking light work, but there were too many errors and problems. I don't know if this is meant to be in a different section, but I chose this one cause it seemed best.
First, I started with just a Core module, then uploaded a blank sketch. It couldn't talk with the programmer.
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 2 of 10: not in sync:
So I found some stuff on the forums and pressed 'Burn Bootloader' and...
avrdude: usbdev_open(): did not find any USB device "usb" (0x03eb:0x2104)
I am very new to IoT and physical programming, so I don't know what to do now.
Let me know if you need any info from the board or the IDE.
Also, the PWR(LED1) on the Core module is not turning on.
If you are new to this stuff, I'd recommend you get a "regular Arduino" such as an Uno or Nano, etc. They come with the bootloader already installed (so you don't need avrdude or a separate programmer).
The IDE & bootloader are one of the things that makes the Arduino great! I've worked with several software development environments (and one other firmware development system*) over the years and I'm usually happy if I can get set-up and run a simple program in the first day.
When I first got the Arduino it took about 15 minutes to download, install, plug-in the USB, download the Blink Example, and run! That was amazing to me!
I've also worked for companies where other engineers/porgrammers were doing firmware development for different microcontrollers and normally "it ain't easy".
