MEGA2560 can't put stuff on my bored(HELP please asap)

system · January 10, 2012, 7:34pm

When i upload the code: const int LED = 13;

void setup()
{
pinMode(LED, OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
digitalWrite(LED,HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(LED,LOW);
delay(1000);
}

to my mega 2560 bored i get a error saying: Binary sketch size: 1602 bytes (of a 258048 byte maximum)

please help kinda having trouble like this guy is: http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,86088.0.html

Get a copy of the 022 version and try that.

nickgammon · January 11, 2012, 2:54am

I successfully uploaded that sketch to my Mega2560 board, using IDE 1.0, on a Mac.

Can you give more details? Did you select "Arduino Mega 2560" from the Tools -> Board menu?

system · January 11, 2012, 1:46pm

Nick,
Since you have success with 1.0 could you tip me on where to put the IDE files?
Also if I knew better the filing structure the IDE is expecting I can get it right and move on.
I downloaded this over the Christmas holiday and it broke the 0022 I was using, along with all my sketches.
I'm just numb between the ears I guess, I'm a windows type but bought a macbook pro. (these are great computers!)
I much prefer window's file explorer over the mac's finder...having adjustment problems to the different environment.
Thanks in advance!

and yes i did nick. um i don't know if i had trouble installing the MEGA 2560 bored. Because when i go to tools/Serial there is only COM1 when my bored is not plugged in. And when my bored is plugged in still there is only COM1.

nickgammon · January 11, 2012, 8:25pm

... there is only COM1 ...

Sounds like the driver isn't installed.

Can you confirm you followed all the steps here that seem relevant?

... could you tip me on where to put the IDE files ...

I put my folder on the Desktop personally. Windows Vista and higher have these tight controls over stuff in the program folder, where you can't write to it blah blah so I just use the Desktop.

system · January 12, 2012, 1:46am

Yes sir. I have looked at most of thoes. I really don't know what to do. I have bean trieing this for about 4 hours now and still can't get it to work. when i plug in my MEGA2560. Nuthing pops up. But the forst time. I plugged it in i think something did pop up. And this is my forst arduino bored ever.

nickgammon · January 12, 2012, 1:58am

Did you do the bit about going into the device manager, and trying to re-install the device driver?

system · January 12, 2012, 2:40am

No sir. i did not see that is that in the trouble shooting page? If so what is it called?

nickgammon · January 12, 2012, 3:33am

It says on that page:

On Windows 7 (particularly the 64-bit version), you might need to go into the Device Manager and update the drivers for the Uno or Mega 2560. Just right click on the device (the board should be connected to your computer), and point Windows at the appropriate .inf file again. The .inf is in the drivers/ directory of the Arduino software (not in the FTDI USB Drivers sub-directory of it).

system · January 12, 2012, 3:40pm

Were is the inf?

system · January 12, 2012, 6:38pm

mrdove500:
Were is the inf?

Open up your IDE installation folder then select 'drivers' folder. Now select the appropriate .inf file to your board.

Tutorial on manually installing drivers for Arduino: http://arduino.cc/it/Guide/Windows#toc4

system · January 12, 2012, 7:26pm

were is there IDE installation folderD:

nickgammon · January 12, 2012, 8:51pm

When you download the IDE (the Arduino software) you get a .zip file. Inside is the arduino-1.0 folder. Wherever you put that is the "IDE installation folder". Only you know where that is.

Inside that is a "drivers" folder, inside that are the .inf files, see above.

system · January 12, 2012, 8:57pm

But my bored is on detacted.

system · January 12, 2012, 9:19pm

update. I just went in my device manger and i plugged in the mega2560 it poped up in my Other devices. Not in my ports (COM & LEP). What should i do?

system · January 12, 2012, 9:31pm

One more update. When i bowse for the inf file there is nuthing there. Like when i update driveri only see folders. No inf files.

Right-click on it?

Skip the bit about searching the Internet, then:

That's because Windows helpfully hides them from you.
