Hi
after a few months of satisfying work with my arudino duemilanove (bougth last christmas), I am stuck and - I suspect - I've burned it...
The present situation is: as soon as I plug it to power (direct power or usb cable to pc) there is a glimpse of tx-rx leds, then they go off and the led L goes on and remains as it is forever (green led "pwr" is also on as it should).
I cannot upload any project, when I try it I receive a <<avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00>> error
Reset button is useless. I've checked the troubleshooting guide (e.g. re-installed drivers, tried loopback = no communication, etc.)
I am trying with Windows 7, arduino gui 1.0.1, but I'm pretty sure the problem is on the board and not the software: it has to be reset (if it's still alive)
No idea about the origin of the problem: last program uploaded was this one
static int count = 0;
void setup() {
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
Serial.print("Turn #");
Serial.println(++count);
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
Serial.println("LED ON");
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
Serial.println("LED OFF");
delay(1000);
}
just for the sake of reading the serial port from a wireless router (hacked by installing open wrt on it); the code worked smoothly, no problems, then put the board for a few days in a drawer, and today I find it unusable
any hint? thanks!
