Many thanks to SurferTim for help on connecting to Arduino UNO.
I believe I am connected, but when I upload a modified Blink sketch
I get an error message as follows:
atk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x30.
I can find nothing in the sketch that is anything like atk500_getsync()
and, if I did find it how do I put in sync??
this is an error with the driver or the com port saying that basically the arduino isnt hooked up correctly to the pc...
connect the arduino,
ensure your drivers are properly installed,
in the adruino environment ensure you have the correct com port and device selected.
there is a tutorial on arduino's website here
