Error message on Arbotix_m upload "avrdude; verification error"

Using Arduino IDE 1.x

Can anyone help?

I bought a WidowX Robot Arm and it is controlled by a ArbotiX-M robocontroller.

I’ve had it running, been developed basically OK with a few problems.

However a few days ago I decided to try and connect an Xbee controller.

Had problems before with this and once again could not get it to work.

Abandoned it for now and went back to running the robot arm using the program “interbotix arm link serial.

At which point I got an error message something like
“avrdude; verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x0002 ox80! = 0x70e; verification error; content mismatch.”

OK checked everything and then went back to the program I used before Armlink the “Windowarmtest” it worked OK before, but not this time It appears that nothing will upload without an error.
Next I went back to the blink test, same problem.

I checked the Coms port was selected and working OK, you can see it talking to the board.
I moved to another computer and tried it all again with a newly downloaded Arbuino
Still the same!
I cannot get any program to upload to the ArbotiX-M.
I have checked that there is voltage on the board and voltage getting to the servos.
Using release 1.0.6 as later versions does not recognise the ArbitiX-M board.

Would like help, please.

The device is sort-of Arduino compatible but relies on some device specific libraries and support files: http://learn.trossenrobotics.com/arbotix/7-arbotix-quick-start-guide I note that that site has a "Forums" link in the page header. That forum might be of more help with that specific hardware.
