I was testing the breakout board with the given buildtest.ino. It continuously gets stuck at Initialising the CC3000.
It wasn't even sending the "unable to connect. check your wiring"
It was stuck there. I tried re-programming again and again.
There was no flicker in the cc3000 led as i read in some forum. I have connected it to my computer via usb.
But after a while the compling started giving error such as "The device is not found"
So i tried a simle blinking in my arduino. It worked fine.
Now again trying compiling its showing this error :
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x01
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
I have two questions :
As the led glows and there is no flicker, Is it necessary for me to solder the breakout board. I have connected it nicely.
Secondly, If the soldering is the issue, why it was able to be uploaded earlier and showing different errors at diifferent times.
Good Morning aryaditya,
Did the CC3000 Breakout board come assembled?
Do you have Headers installed on the CC3000 Breakout board?
Recommend keeping Breadboard wiring jumpers to the CC3000 Breakout board short. I keep my CC3000 Breakout board connections to four inches or less.
Check to see if your wires have continuity from end to end, using an ohm meter. Visual inspection alone may not find a defective wire or intermittent wire.

No, it did not come assembled. Yes, i checked the continuity from end to end.
@ aryaditya
Check that the Comm port is the one you are actually using with the Arduino IDE. If you are using Windows; go to Device Manager, then go to Ports and see which Port is being used with the Arduino. Device Manager will show if there is a problem with the connection. If there is a problem; try to Disable the Arduino port with Device Manager. Next Enable Arduino Port in Device Manager. This may or may not require a restart of Windows.
If your CC3000 Breakout Board is an Adafruit product; you may want to contact Other Arduino products from Adafruit - adafruit industries They are likely to request a photograph of your solder side of the CC3000 Breakout Board.
Best Regards.
William
